Clogged gutters are the number-one preventable cause of basement water intrusion, foundation erosion, and fascia rot in Chicagoland homes. When gutters fill with leaves, shingle grit, and debris, rainwater has nowhere to go — it spills over the edge, saturates the soil against your foundation, and can seep into basement walls through cracks that would otherwise stay dry. In winter, the problem compounds: standing water in clogged gutters freezes, forms ice dams under shingle edges, and forces meltwater into your attic and wall cavities.
Highland Park is known for diverse architectural landscape from modest to grand — and homeowners here hold their contractors to the same high standard.
From first call to final walkthrough — here's how we deliver gutter cleaning & repair in Highland Park.
We position stabilized extension ladders or a boom lift for safe roof-line access. Ground tarps are placed beneath work areas to catch debris and protect landscaping.
All leaves, shingle grit, and compacted debris are hand-removed from gutters. Downspouts are flushed with a high-pressure nozzle and snaked if clogs are detected.
Every gutter section, joint, end cap, and hanger bracket is inspected. Loose hangers are re-secured, separated seams are sealed, and minor damage is repaired on the spot.
We verify water exits downspout extensions away from the foundation, clean up all debris, and provide a written condition report noting any issues that need future attention.
