Back in 2021, a customer in Old Towne Orange told us their gutters were so full, they had vines growing out the top. Vines. Like a hanging plant basket, but totally unplanned. That’s not rare around here. Between the big trees, older homes, and surprise downpours, clogged gutters are almost a seasonal tradition in Orange.
Why Gutter Cleaning in Orange Shouldn’t Wait
Most folks don’t think about their gutters until they’re overflowing. And by then, water’s already creeping behind stucco or warping the edges of the roofline. That’s when the real problems show up. Moldy walls. Cracked fascia. Even flooding on the walkways after a storm. All stuff that could’ve been avoided with a quick cleaning.
Homes near Santiago Creek Trail and Chapman University especially deal with heavier leaf loads from all the tree cover. Those pretty canopies? Yeah, they’re clogging your gutters more than you think.
What We Do When We Show Up
We don’t overcomplicate things. We show up, check the gutter system, and clean it by hand. We flush it with water, clear the downspouts, and make sure everything’s flowing the way it should. We’ll also let you know if we see rusted-out sections or gutters starting to pull away from the roofline.
- Hands-on removal of leaves, dirt, and buildup
- Downspout testing and clearing
- Water flushing for flow checks
- Quick look for gutter wear or separation
We don’t leave a mess behind either. We bag everything and take it with us. We’ve seen too many “cleanings” where people blow everything onto the lawn and bounce. That’s not how we do it.
Local Homes Have Their Own Issues
Orange has some of the oldest homes in the county, and with that comes charm and challenges. Homes near Pitcher Park and the Plaza often have tighter gutter angles and older hardware that’s more prone to clogging. Some of the newer places in the hills, like near Serrano Heights, have those high gutters that you can’t see from the ground, so people don’t even realize they’re full until there’s water damage.
Even some businesses off Glassell call us before the holidays so their storefronts don’t get stained from water overflow. Makes a difference when you’ve got customers coming in.
When’s the Right Time to Get Gutters Cleaned?
Fall’s the big one. Especially after Santa Ana winds tear through and dump leaves and dirt into every open gutter in the county. But spring’s also smart, since a lot of buildup happens in winter and goes unnoticed. We had a customer in El Modena wait three years between cleanings. Their gutters were packed solid like a bird’s nest. Took us twice as long to clear it out, but we got it done.
If you’re seeing weeds in your gutters or hearing water splash when it rains, don’t wait. That’s your house trying to tell you something.
