Care & Maintenance

A little attention just a couple of times a year will keep things looking and working great. We do offer a maintenance program, or for the do-it-yourselfer:

Maintain that like-new performance,

  • Clean all leaves, sticks, barbie dolls, tennis balls, and other debris out of the gutters.
  • Flush downspouts of trapped debris and ensure there are no clogs.
  • Make sure all downspouts are properly attached to the walls.
  • Check for any damage to the guttering and downspouts.

If you find damage to your guttering system, have it repaired immediately to avoid further damage by future storms!

The addition of leaf guards may reduce your maintenance schedule to once per year or less, but cannot replace the benefits of an occasional inspection and servicing. Even leaf guards can't prevent biological matter from building up on the bottom of your gutters and decreasing capacity and performance over time. For systems protected by screened leaf guards, spraying out the sediment with a spray nozzle usually does the trick. This allows you to skip the tedious process of removing every piece and re-installing them. To save you the dangers and hassles, we also provide this periodic service at an additional charge.

To keep the factory finish beautiful, the manufacturer recommends the following cleaning methods:

"Instructions...

The following simple cleaning procedures should be performed at least once a year or more often if necessary.

General Cleaning...

For surface soil and stains, such as those resulting from industrial fallout, tree sap, insecticides, or chimney fumes, use ordinary nonabrasive household detergent.

The solution should be applied to the soiled surface by means of a soft rag, sponge or soft bristle brush with a gentle rubbing action. Do not rub vigorously so as to create glossy areas over the satin finish. Soft bristle brushes equipped with long extension handles may be used to reach some of the higher areas.

It is important that immediately following all washing operations, the entire surface be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water from a garden hose.

Stubborn stains...

If stubborn stains are encountered, use a heavy-duty cleaner such as "Fantastik." Heavy soil deposits may not be removable in one application and may require repeated cleaning over some length of time. Do not use cleaners containing abrasive particles, ammonia, solvents, or paint removers for cleaning. These materials may soften or remove the finish.

Climatic Problems...

Climates vary considerably from one locality to the next. In some areas, mildew may be a problem. It appears as black spots on the surface dirt and is usually detected first on the undersides of the rain gutter. For removal, prepare the solution below and apply as outlined above.

1/3 cup detergent (Tide for example)

2/3 cup Tri sodium Phosphate (Soilax for example)

1 quart 5% Sodium Hypo chlorate solution (Clorox for example)

3 quarts water

Caution: Greater concentrations may cause damage to the finish."
