Gutter Cleaning in Matawan, NJ
Cleared by Hand | Every Leader Flushed | The Whole Run Inspected | Free Estimates
If your gutters were cleaned and they still spill over the front edge in a hard rain, the leaves were never the problem. An empty gutter is the only time you can see what is holding it up and how it is sitting, so that is when we look.
One photo of the front of the house, and one of wherever it overflows.
Cleared by hand, every downspout flushed, then the hangers, the slope, the seams and the end caps checked while there is nothing in the way, with photographs of anything found.

A Borough of Mixed Ages
On These Streets, Your Neighbor's Answer Is Not Your Answer
Matawan is an old borough, incorporated in 1895, with 9,565 people in 2.27 square miles. The streets around Main Street carry houses from the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with later construction standing alongside them.
The practical consequence is that two houses side by side can have nothing in common above the wall. Different roof edges, different fascia, different hardware fitted at different times by different people. In a development where every house went up the same year, what one neighbor found tells you something about yours. Here it tells you very little, which is why the gutter gets looked at on your house while it is empty.
When Clean Is Not the Answer
Four Things an Empty Gutter Will Tell You
Each of these looks like a cleaning problem from the ground, and none of them is.
The hangers have let go
A section that dips in the middle or has pulled away from the fascia is not holding its line. Water collects at the dip and goes over the front edge there, and it will do that the day after a cleaning just as readily as the day before.
The slope has drifted
Gutters are hung with a slight fall toward the outlet. Years of loading and ice can flatten that fall or reverse it over a stretch, and then the trough holds water between rains. The weight works on the hangers, the seam below it sits wet, and in winter it freezes in place.
A seam has opened
Joints and inside corners are where a gutter leaks first. It shows as a drip in one fixed spot and a stain running straight down the wall below it, in dry weather as well as wet.
An end cap is gone or leaking
The easiest of the four to miss, because the water leaves at the very end of the run where nobody stands. The tell is on the ground: a washed-out patch or splashed mud at one corner of the house.
All four get noted and photographed while the gutter is empty. Resealing a seam, refastening a sagging section and replacing an end cap are minor repairs quoted on their own lines, so you can see which part of the number is cleaning and which part is repair.

Gutter Questions in Matawan
Matawan Gutter Questions
They were cleaned in the fall and they still overflow. What now?
Catch a photo of the spot mid-rain if you can. Overflow in one fixed place points at the hardware: a dip, a flat stretch, a seam. Overflow along a whole side in heavy rain is more often volume arriving faster than the outlet can take it.
Can you fix a sagging section?
Refastening a loose or sagging section and restoring its slope is a minor repair we quote on its own line. If the gutter is too far gone to hold a fastening, we will show you the photos and refer you to a gutter contractor rather than take money for something that will not last.
Is the stain on the siding under the gutter the same problem?
Usually not. Black streaks under a gutter line are a washing job, and a house wash takes them off or takes them a long way back depending on how much age is in the siding. A single stain running straight down from one point is more likely a seam or an end cap above it.
The house is over a hundred years old. Is that a problem?
It is a reason to look properly rather than a reason to worry. Old fascia and old hardware have their own habits, and the inspection is exactly what tells you whether yours are still doing their job.
Do you clean the outside of the gutters too?
That is gutter brightening and it is an add-on. Clearing the inside and cleaning the outside face are two different jobs, and plenty of people book only one of them.
