Fall Is Over — Now Is the Perfect Time for Gutter Cleaning & Gutter Guards

Now that the leaves have finished falling, many homeowners assume the mess is over. In reality, this is the most important time of year to clean your gutters. Leaves, seed pods, and roof grit have settled in—and if they’re left there, they can quietly cause serious damage throughout winter and into spring.

At EverClean, we see it every year across Central Texas: clogged gutters leading to water overflow, fascia rot, foundation issues, and even interior leaks. The good news? A professional gutter cleaning now can prevent all of it.

Why Gutter Cleaning Matters After Leaf Season

When gutters are packed with debris, water can’t flow properly. Instead of draining away from your home, it spills over the edges or backs up under the roofline.

Common problems we see from neglected gutters include:

  • Water overflowing onto siding and windows

  • Rotting fascia boards and soffits

  • Foundation settling and erosion

  • Mold and mildew around the home

  • Mosquito breeding in standing water

  • Ice or water buildup during colder snaps

Cleaning your gutters after all the leaves have dropped ensures they stay clear during heavy rains and winter storms.

Why DIY Gutter Cleaning Can Be Risky

Many homeowners consider cleaning gutters themselves, but it’s one of the most common causes of home-related injuries. Ladders, uneven ground, and slick debris make gutter cleaning more dangerous than it looks.

Professional gutter cleaning ensures:

  • Safe ladder setup and handling

  • Complete debris removal (not just surface scooping)

  • Proper downspout flow checks

  • Identification of early warning signs like loose hangers or leaks

Our team doesn’t just remove leaves—we make sure your entire drainage system is working as it should.

Are Gutter Guards Worth It?

If you’re tired of dealing with clogged gutters year after year, gutter guards may be the long-term solution.

Benefits of Gutter Guards:

  • Reduce debris buildup

  • Minimize the need for frequent cleanings

  • Improve water flow during heavy rain

  • Extend the life of your gutter system

  • Help prevent pests from nesting

While no gutter guard is completely maintenance-free, the right system can significantly cut down on debris accumulation—especially in tree-heavy neighborhoods.

At EverClean, we help homeowners decide if gutter guards make sense for their specific roof, trees, and gutter type, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

When Should You Schedule Gutter Cleaning?

Right now.
Once leaves are down and before spring storms arrive is the ideal window. Waiting too long can mean discovering problems only after damage has already started.

We recommend:

  • Annual cleanings for most homes

  • Twice per year for homes with heavy tree coverage

  • Gutter guard inspections even if guards are installed
