Debris can block water flow at roof edges and outlets. Cleaning can be part of a broader visit that also identifies damaged sections or downspouts.
Ask what the visit includes besides clearing visible debris. If the crew finds a loose bracket or damaged outlet, request a photo and a separate recommendation for the repair.
If you have a gutter, fascia or siding concern, tell Dekoven Roofing what you observed and ask about an assessment.
Clogged gutters hold water that can back up under the roof edge.
Look at the condition of gutters and downspouts and at the roof edge, since cleaning is a good time to spot loose sections or damaged shingles.
Many owners clean gutters twice a year, in late spring and after the leaves come down. Properties under large trees may need more. Writing the dates on a calendar or maintenance schedule keeps it from slipping.
If you hire out the work, ask whether the visit includes flushing downspouts and checking that water leaves the system freely. A gutter that looks clean at the top can still be blocked lower down.
Is cleaning included in a maintenance visit or billed separately? Will the crew check downspouts for clogs?
Seasonally, or more with trees.
If water still spills, repair may be needed.
Yes, it often does.
