Over the years, I have been asked the questioned; “what is the best time of the year to get my rain gutters cleaned?” Without hesitation, my answer has remained the same for over two decades now. October would be in my opinion the best time of the year to have your roof and rain gutters cleaned for the simple fact that traditionally October brings our first rains to Santa Cruz and the rest of the State. As a professional gutter cleaner, I consider October of each year to be the official start of gutter cleaning season. Apart from the first annual rains bringing a clear reminder that gutters require cleaning there is yet another, even more important reason to consider October as the best time. On average, October is still dry enough to clean both your roof and rain gutters efficiently and with the least amount of mess. When roof and gutter debris is dry, it responds very well to blowers and is easily removed from both your roof and gutters as well as your property. Once the rain falls that same debris becomes saturated, muddy and much more difficult to extract. Not only does the gutter cleaning process become more difficult, but your property becomes more vulnerable as sludge is being moved from roof and gutter systems. While dry debris is often hand scooped and bagged during the cleaning process, soaked and saturated debris leaves only one option and that is the hand scooping method. I recommend that home owners have their gutters cleaned at least once each year. If you are fortunate enough to get it done in October, then you will most likely experience the dry debris scenario as described above.
