Absolutely. In our area, clogged gutters are a primary cause of roof leaks. When gutters are blocked, water backs up under the roof shingles and soaks into the decking, leading to leaks inside your home after rain. Our thorough gutter cleaning ensures proper water drainage away from your roof and foundation, which is a key preventative measure against leaks.

The dark streaks on roofs in Lebanon are often Gloeocapsa magma algae, which feeds on limestone in the shingles. We use a specialized, low-pressure soft wash system that safely kills the algae at the root without damaging your shingles. This method is far more effective and safer than high-pressure washing, which can strip away the protective granules on your roof.

We recommend most Lebanon homes schedule gutter cleaning at least twice a year—typically in late spring and late fall. This clears out spring pollen and seeds before summer and removes fallen leaves before winter rains and potential ice dams. Homes surrounded by many trees may need service three times a year to prevent clogs and the water damage they cause.
