Service
Gutter Cleaning in Columbia, Rocheport and Jefferson City
A gutter only has one job, which is moving water away from the house. Kellan clears the troughs and downspouts by hand, flushes them, and checks that the water actually goes where it should.

What this service actually involves
Mid Missouri oak and maple do not drop all at once. That is why a single autumn clean often is not enough, and why gutters that looked fine in November are packed solid by spring. Once debris compacts it holds water against the trough, the fixings soften, and the overflow lands at the base of your foundation instead of at the end of the downspout.
Hand clearing means the packed material at the low end and the corners comes out rather than being pushed toward the outlet. Everything gets bagged and taken away, and the flush at the end proves the run is clear instead of assuming it.
What is included
- Troughs cleared by hand along every accessible run
- Downspouts and outlets cleared and flushed with water
- Flow checked at the discharge point, not just at the roof
- Debris bagged and removed from the property
- Roof edge, fixings and seams looked over while up there
- A plain summary of anything that needs a roofer, not a sales pitch
Why it matters
The reasons this work is worth doing on time rather than eventually.
Water damage starts quietly
Overflow at the foundation, soft fascia and stained siding usually trace back to a gutter that stopped draining a season ago.
Standing water breeds and freezes
A blocked trough holds water through summer and through the first hard freeze, which is when fixings pull loose.
You find out what is up there
You get told what the roof edge looks like, in plain language, whether or not anything needs doing.
How the process works
- You call with the basicsSingle or two storey, roughly how much guttering, and how long since the last clean.
- A price for the runQuoted on the length and access, not on how bad it turns out to be once he is up there.
- Clear, flush and checkHand clearing first, then water through every downspout to prove the run drains.
- A straight reportWhat was in there, what the roof edge looks like, and anything worth watching.
How to prepare
None of this is essential, but it makes the visit quicker and the result better.
- Move cars and bins away from the walls so ladders can be footed level
- Unlock side gates and clear access down both sides of the house
- Trim back anything growing tight against the gutter line if you can
- Say where downspouts discharge, especially any that run underground
- Mention previous leaks or overflow spots so those runs get extra attention
