Gutter Cleaning & Flush — Arlington, VA

Colonial Home in Arlington — Full Gutter Restoration

The problem

This classic colonial had gutters overflowing with two years of compacted leaf debris. Water was sheeting down the siding during every rainstorm, causing visible staining on the brick facade.

What we did

We hand-removed over 40 pounds of packed debris, flushed every downspout with high-pressure water, and restored full drainage. The homeowner was amazed at the flow difference during the next rain.

Downspout Repair & Replacement — Alexandria, VA

Old Town Alexandria Townhouse — Downspout Rebuild

The problem

The underground downspout connection had completely separated from the gutter outlet. During storms, water pooled against the foundation, causing basement dampness and erosion along the walkway.

What we did

We replaced the corroded downspout elbow, re-secured all brackets to the brick, and extended the ground-level drain away from the foundation. We verified the fix with a full water test on-site.

Gutter Cleaning — Fairfax, VA

Fairfax Split-Level — Heavy Leaf Season Cleanup

The problem

Surrounded by mature oak trees, this home had gutters completely buried under several inches of wet, decomposing leaves. Mosquitoes were breeding in the standing water trapped in the gutter channels.

What we did

Complete hand extraction of all organic debris, thorough flush of all downspouts, and inspection of gutter pitch. We recommended a twice-yearly maintenance plan to prevent future buildup.

Roof Debris Removal — McLean, VA

McLean Estate — Multi-Level Roof Debris Removal

The problem

A large estate property with three roof levels had accumulated branches, pine needles, and moss buildup over several seasons. Debris was damming water at valleys, risking leaks into the attic.

What we did

Our crew safely cleared all roof surfaces using soft-wash techniques, removed branch debris by hand, and cleared every valley and flashing. We also cleaned all connected gutters as part of the service.

Gutter Repair & Cleaning — Richmond, VA

Richmond Fan District Bungalow — Gutter Repair & Clean

The problem

Several gutter sections had pulled away from the fascia board due to the weight of standing water and debris. The sagging was visible from the street and water was spilling behind the gutters into the soffit.

What we did

We re-secured all loose sections with heavy-duty hidden hangers, replaced two rotted fascia boards, cleaned out all debris, and sealed every joint. The gutters now sit level and drain perfectly.

The problem

A single-story ranch home with over 200 linear feet of gutters, all packed with maple seed pods and shingle grit. The homeowner noticed icicles forming in winter — a sign of poor drainage.

What we did

Thorough cleaning of the entire system, including removal of shingle granule buildup that was slowing drainage. All downspouts tested and cleared. Recommended gutter guards for long-term protection.

Downspout Clearing & Repair — Reston, VA

Reston Contemporary — Clogged Underground Downspouts

The problem

The buried downspout drains had been blocked for years with soil and root intrusion. Water was backing up into the gutters and overflowing, causing landscape erosion and staining on the modern facade.

What we did

We snaked and flushed all four underground drain lines, cleared root blockages, and installed cleanout access points for future maintenance. Full system flow was restored.

Gutter Repair & Cleaning — Springfield, VA

Springfield Two-Story — Emergency Overflow Repair

The problem

During a heavy rain, the homeowner noticed water pouring into the garage from a completely separated gutter joint. The end cap had rusted through and an entire 20-foot section was hanging loose.

What we did

Same-day repair: we re-hung the separated section, installed a new aluminum end cap, sealed all joints with heavy-duty sealant, and cleaned out the entire system to prevent future issues.

Roof Debris & Gutter Cleaning — Henrico, VA

Henrico County Rancher — Roof Moss & Gutter Clean

The problem

Heavy shade from surrounding trees caused significant moss growth on the north-facing roof sections. Gutters were clogged with a mix of moss clumps, twigs, and decomposed leaves. Water was backing up under the first row of shingles.

What we did

We carefully removed all moss without damaging shingles, cleared every gutter channel, and applied a zinc treatment strip along the ridge to inhibit future moss growth. A complete downspout flush finished the job.

Gutter Cleaning — Woodbridge, VA

Woodbridge New Construction — First-Year Gutter Service

The problem

Even brand-new homes accumulate construction debris in gutters — drywall dust, shingle granules, sawdust, and packing materials. This newly built home had never had its gutters serviced since construction.

What we did

We flushed out all construction debris, removed protective tape left by builders, and ensured every connection was properly sealed. The homeowner enrolled in our maintenance plan for ongoing protection.
