Gutter Cleaning: The Nightmare of Gutter Canal

Clearing Out Years of Build-Up and Restoring Flow

At RMA Window Cleaning, we recently completed a challenging gutter clean in Huddersfield for a local homeowner. After the heavy downpours we’ve experienced recently, our customer couldn't help but notice water gushing over the sides of their gutters and cascading down the walls of their home—an all too common issue when gutters get blocked.

On arrival, it was easy to see why. Their gutters looked more like miniature canals, overflowing with a soggy mess of rotting leaves, bird droppings, and even the beginnings of plant life sprouting up!

Years of neglect had turned what should be a smooth-flowing channel into a natural habitat for everything but water. Without swift intervention, blocked gutters like these can cause damage to the brickwork and even lead to leaks inside the home. Fortunately, at RMA, we aren’t shy of getting our hands dirty!

How We Tackled the Job

Armed with our long-reach vacuum system, we got straight to work, sucking up the worst of the gunk from the safety of the ground. For the really stubborn areas where the debris had compacted, our team climbed up with ladders and gave it some good old-fashioned elbow grease. There’s no shortcut for some jobs, and this was one of them!

After a thorough clean, we tested the flow to make sure no hidden blockages remained. Once completed, the gutters were clear, and water could flow freely again, just in time to prevent any further overflow damage.

Why Regular Gutter Maintenance Matters

This job was a prime example of why regular gutter maintenance is essential. Over time, even small amounts of debris can build up, leading to serious issues like water damage, mold growth, and weakened foundations. With professional cleaning, you can avoid costly repairs and keep your home safe from water-related problems.
