Keep Water Flowing Away From Your Foundation

Gutter cleaning services for residential and light commercial properties in Lafayette, Louisiana.

You notice water spilling over the edge of your gutters during a rainstorm, and by the time you remember to deal with it, the downspouts are clogged and water is pooling near the foundation. In Lafayette, the combination of oak leaves, pine needles, and seasonal debris fills gutters quickly, and once they are blocked, water has nowhere to go except over the sides or back toward the house. That overflow can lead to staining on siding, erosion around the foundation, and damage to the gutter system itself.

Gutter cleaning removes the debris that prevents water from flowing properly and clears downspouts so the entire system functions as intended. Freedom Exterior Services works carefully to avoid damaging the gutters, fascia, or surrounding areas, and the crew hauls away what is removed rather than leaving it in your landscaping. The service is suitable for residential homes and light commercial properties, and it includes checking for obvious issues like loose hangers or separated seams that could cause problems later.

If your gutters in Lafayette are overflowing or you cannot remember the last time they were cleaned, Freedom Exterior Services can schedule a visit to clear them and make sure water is draining away from your home.

What Gets Cleared and How the System Works After

The process begins with removing leaves, twigs, and compacted debris from the gutters by hand or with a blower. In Lafayette, that often includes clearing oak leaves that have matted together and formed blockages near the downspouts. Once the gutters are clear, the crew flushes the downspouts to make sure water can flow all the way to the ground without backing up.

After the cleaning is complete, water will flow freely through the gutters and out the downspouts during the next rain. You will not see overflow at the corners or water spilling over the front edge. The system will function the way it was designed, directing water away from the foundation and preventing the pooling that leads to erosion or basement moisture.

The service includes bagging and removing all debris from the property. It does not include gutter repair, replacement, or installation of gutter guards. If the gutters are sagging, pulling away from the fascia, or have holes, those issues will be pointed out but require separate work. Gutter cleaning restores flow but does not fix structural damage or prevent future clogs without additional products or maintenance.

What People Ask Before Scheduling a Clean

Homeowners and property managers in Lafayette typically want to know how often gutters should be cleaned, what happens if they are damaged, and whether the service includes downspouts. These are the most common questions Freedom Exterior Services receives.

How often should I have my gutters cleaned?
You should have your gutters cleaned at least twice a year, typically in late spring and late fall. Properties with overhanging trees may need cleaning more often to prevent blockages.
What happens if you find damage during the cleaning?
Freedom Exterior Services will point out any damage such as loose hangers, separated seams, or holes. The crew does not perform repairs during the cleaning, but they can provide recommendations for what needs attention.
Do you clear the downspouts as part of the service?
Yes, the service includes clearing downspouts to make sure water can flow all the way through the system. If a downspout is clogged, the crew will flush it or use a tool to remove the blockage.
Will you remove the debris or leave it for me to dispose of?
Freedom Exterior Services bags and removes all debris from the property as part of the service. You will not need to handle disposal or clean up after the work is finished.
Can you clean gutters on a two-story home?
Yes, the crew is equipped to clean gutters on multi-story homes and uses ladders and safety equipment to access all sections. The process is the same regardless of height.
