GUTTER GUARDS AND CLEANING

Gutter Guard cleaning protects from wildlife and prevents leaves and other debris from damaging your gutters and causing irreversible corrosion over time. Gutter cleaning is essential, especially in the fall when debris such as leaves, nuts and twigs begin falling from surrounding trees.

Gutters that are filled with leaves, branches and other debris create a primary place for squirrels to nest and hide from predators. Because squirrels teeth are constantly growing, they are constantly looking for something to chew on. Once gaining access to your gutters, they will eat away at the roof shingles and trim of your home.

Gutter Cleaning Process

  • Go Pro Wildlife Removal will clean your gutters of all leaf debris.

  • Once gutters are clean, Go Pro Wildlife Removal will install gutter guards.

  • You no longer have to worry about leaf debris, or squirrels getting into your gutters again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Debris-filled gutters are one of the most common and overlooked entry points for wildlife. Squirrels nest in gutters filled with leaves and branches, using them as a protected, elevated base with easy access to food sources in surrounding trees. Squirrels constantly chew to wear down their teeth, and will gnaw through roof shingles and trim to access the attic once established. Clogged gutters also cause water overflow and corrosion that weakens exterior walls and rooflines, creating additional entry points for bats, raccoons and other wildlife.

When gutters are blocked, water overflows rather than draining away from the home and saturates exterior walls and can cause the gutters themselves to pull away from their brackets, opening gaps at the roofline. Over time, the resulting moisture causes corrosion that warps and cracks walls, shortens the life of your roof and creates the weakened entry points that wildlife exploit to access attics. Debris weight alone can also cause structural separation from the roof.

Go Pro cleans gutters of all leaf debris, then installs gutter guards to prevent future buildup. The team can also make small repairs or modifications such as extending downspouts or adding underground drain lines to improve water flow. Once guards are installed, you no longer have to worry about debris accumulation or squirrels nesting in your gutters.

Before peak leaf fall. Fall is the most critical window as leaves, nuts and twigs drop heavily from surrounding trees and accumulate quickly, while squirrels are actively building winter nests at the same time. Cleaning and installing guards before peak leaf fall prevents both the debris buildup and the wildlife activity that follows it. Go Pro Wildlife Removal recommends annual maintenance alongside guards for ongoing protection year-round.
