That quick blast of water down the downspout is a tempting shortcut for gutter cleaning in Madison. Unfortunately, using a pressure washer on a downspout can blow the joints apart and pack existing clogs even tighter, making the problem worse. Instead, our crew uses an extension ladder with a standoff, carefully scooping out packed debris by hand and then flushing every downspout with a hose until the water runs clear from the bottom. This essential maintenance should be done before oak, elm, and maple leaves begin their heavy drop in a few weeks, which will fill gutters and lead to ice dams. You might notice grass or seedlings growing in your gutters, which is a clear sign they are due for a cleaning.
