A clogged eavestrough doesn't just overflow — it sends water down your siding, pools it at your foundation, and in winter, sets up exactly the conditions that lead to ice damming. Our matched pros clear it out properly, check the downspouts, and flag anything that needs more than a clean-out.

When you need a cleaning

  • It's been more than 6 months since the last clean-out
  • Water is overflowing the trough during rain
  • You can see leaves, seeds, or moss sitting in the gutter from the ground
  • You have mature trees near the roofline
  • You're prepping the house for winter or for spring thaw

How our local pros handle a cleaning

  1. Safe setup. Ladder or roof access secured before any work starts.
  2. Full clean-out. Debris removed by hand and the trough wiped down, not just scooped.
  3. Downspout flush & check. Water run through to confirm free flow, with minor re-attachments handled on the spot.
Winnipeg's spring melt sends a lot of water through eavestrough in a short window. A fall clean-out that gets skipped often shows up as an overflow or ice-dam problem the following spring — see our cleaning frequency guide for a full schedule.

What it costs

Most single-storey homes run $100–$200 per clean-out; two-storey and larger homes with more linear footage run higher. Bundling a spring and fall visit is usually cheaper than booking one-off appointments.

Common questions

Yes — guards still need an occasional check and rinse, just far less often than open troughs. See our gutter guards page for details.

Standard cleaning includes flushing downspouts to confirm they're clear, not just clearing the trough.

Overflow during rain, visible debris from the ground, or water marks on your siding below the eavestrough are the clearest signs. If it's been six months or more, it's worth a look regardless.
