Keep Water Flowing Away From Your Home

Professional gutter cleaning services throughout Dubuque, Iowa for homes and businesses

Your gutters in Dubuque collect more than just rainwater during spring storms and autumn leaf drops. When leaves, twigs, and dirt accumulate inside the channels, water stops moving where it should and starts pooling near your foundation or spilling over the sides during heavy rain. That overflow can soak into the ground around your basement walls or run down your siding, leaving streaks and encouraging rot in wood trim.

Property Maintenance Solutions LLC removes the debris that blocks your gutters from doing their job. We clear out everything that has settled in the channels and downspouts so water can flow freely from your roof to the ground away from your home. This service works for both residential properties and light commercial buildings in Dubuque. We provide free estimates before starting any work, and scheduled service is available if you want gutters cleared on a seasonal basis without having to call each time.

If your gutters are overflowing or you see plants starting to grow out of them, reach out to Property Maintenance Solutions LLC to schedule a cleaning in Dubuque.

What happens during a gutter clearing visit

When we arrive at your property in Dubuque, we bring ladders and hand tools designed to scoop and flush out everything that does not belong in your gutter system. We work section by section, pulling out compacted leaves, seed pods, and any debris that has turned into a soggy mass. Once the channels are clear, we check that downspouts are not clogged and water can exit properly at ground level.

After the cleaning is finished, you will notice that water no longer spills over the edge during rain and that stains on your siding stop appearing. Your foundation stays drier because water is being directed away instead of dumping next to the house. The soil around your basement walls is not constantly saturated, which reduces the chance of cracks or seepage.

We haul away the debris we remove so you do not have to deal with piles of wet leaves in your yard. This service does not include gutter repair or replacement, but we will let you know if we see sections that are sagging or pulling away from the roofline. Keeping your gutters clear on a regular schedule makes each cleaning faster and prevents buildup from hardening into something that is difficult to remove later.

Homeowners usually want to know how often gutters should be cleaned, what happens if downspouts are blocked, and whether the service includes any kind of inspection. Here are answers to the most common questions we hear before scheduling a visit.

Questions homeowners in Dubuque often ask before booking

How often should gutters be cleaned in Dubuque?
Most homes in Dubuque need gutter cleaning twice a year, typically in late spring after tree flowers drop and again in fall after leaves come down. If you have large trees close to your roofline, you may need more frequent cleanings.
What happens if a downspout is completely blocked?
We use a plumber's snake or flush the downspout with water to clear blockages. If the clog is deep or hardened, we may need to detach the lower section to remove it. You will know it is clear when water runs freely out the bottom.
Why does water still overflow even when gutters look empty?
Sometimes debris builds up inside the downspout opening or where the gutter meets the corner, creating a dam you cannot see from the ground. We check those hidden spots and remove anything that blocks the path water needs to follow.
What do you do with the debris after cleaning?
We bag everything we pull out of your gutters and take it with us when we leave. You will not have piles of wet leaves or twigs left in your driveway or flower beds.
How long does a typical gutter cleaning take?
For an average single-family home in Dubuque, the work usually takes between one and two hours depending on how much debris is present and how many downspouts need to be flushed. Larger homes or buildings with multiple stories take longer.
