Prevent Damage
Clogged eaves can overflow and lead to mold growth, fascia rot, and gardens being destroyed. Surfaces below can get slippery from organic growth developing over time.
Protect Your Home
Clogged downspouts can lead to water flooding your basement as it flows over the edges. Water will often take the path of least resistance and find a crack in your foundation.
Avoid Pests & Insects
Stagnant debris in your eavestrough system is a breeding ground for insects which often results in animals coming to feed on them. Now suddenly there are squirrels or racoons in your attic.

Eavestrough Cleaning Information
At Bear Property Cleaning, we provide professional eavestrough cleaning services throughout Southwestern Ontario for homeowners, businesses, property managers, condominium corporations, and multi-unit properties. Your eavestrough system plays an important role in directing rainwater away from your roof, siding, foundation, and landscaping.

​
Whether you're searching for gutter cleaning near me, eavestrough cleaning, downspout cleaning, gutter maintenance, clogged gutter cleaning, commercial gutter cleaning, or professional gutter cleaners, our experienced technicians have the equipment and training to get the job done properly.
​
Why Regular Eavestrough Cleaning Is Important
Clogged eavestrough aren't just unsightly. When water can't properly travel through the eavestrough system, it can overflow over the front or back of the eavestrough and potentially contribute to problems around your roofline, fascia, siding, foundation, and landscaping. Ontario properties are especially susceptible to eavestrough buildup from mature trees, spring blossoms, seeds, leaves, pine needles, roof debris, and changing seasonal conditions. Regular eavestrough maintenance helps keep water moving through the system and away from your property as intended.
​
Our Eaves Cleaning Process
Our service goes beyond simply removing a handful of leaves from the top of your eavestroughs.
Our technicians thoroughly remove accumulated leaves, sticks, dirt, roof granules, organic debris, and other obstructions from the eavestrough system. We also check and flush the downspouts when appropriate to help ensure water can properly travel through the system. Once the cleaning is complete, we inspect the accessible portions of the system for obvious problem areas and make sure the property is left clean and tidy.
​

Our professional eavestrough cleaning service can include:
• Eavestroughs and eavestroughs

From a single-storey bungalow to a large two-storey home, townhouse complex, apartment building, or commercial property, our team has the equipment to tackle eavestrough systems of many different sizes.
​
Do You Clean Gutters With Gutter Guards?
Yes. Many gutter guard systems still require periodic maintenance. Although gutter guards are designed to prevent larger debris from entering the eavestrough, leaves, pine needles, dirt, seeds, and other material can accumulate on top of the guards and interfere with water flow. Depending on the type and condition of the gutter guard system, we can remove accessible surface debris and help restore proper water flow without unnecessarily removing the entire system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Have My Eaves Cleaned?
For most homes in Ontario, we recommend having eavestroughs professionally cleaned at least once or twice per year. Properties surrounded by mature trees, especially pine, maple, or other trees that produce significant leaves and debris, may require more frequent cleaning. Spring and late fall are popular times for gutter cleaning. The ideal schedule ultimately depends on your property, surrounding trees, roof design, and how quickly debris accumulates.
​
Why Is Regular Eavestrough Cleaning Important?
Your eavestrough system is designed to collect rainwater from your roof and direct it safely away from your home. When eavestroughs or downspouts become clogged, water can overflow and end up where it doesn't belong. Keeping eavestroughs clear helps maintain proper drainage and can reduce the risk of overflowing water affecting your fascia, siding, foundation, landscaping, and other areas surrounding your home.
​
What Do You Remove From My Eavestrough?
We remove leaves, sticks, pine needles, roof granules, dirt, seeds, organic buildup, and other debris that has accumulated inside the eavestrough system. Some eavestroughs contain surprisingly heavy buildup, especially when they haven't been cleaned for several years. Our technicians thoroughly clear accessible debris rather than simply removing what can be seen from the ground.
​
Do You Clean and Flush the Downspouts?
Yes. Clearing the eavestrough itself is only part of the job. Water also needs to be able to travel through the downspouts. We check and flush downspouts when appropriate to help ensure water can properly move through the eavestrough system. If we discover a significant blockage or another issue preventing proper drainage, we'll let you know.
​
How Do I Know If My Eaves Are Clogged?
One of the most obvious signs is water overflowing from the eavestroughs during heavy rainfall. You may also notice plants or weeds growing from the eavestroughs, visible debris above the eavestrough line, water spilling behind the eavestrough, or sections that don't appear to drain properly. However, clogged eavestroughs aren't always obvious from the ground. Regular inspection and cleaning can identify buildup before it develops into a larger problem.
​
Can Clogged Eavestrough Damage My Home?
Clogged eavestroughs can contribute to water overflowing or draining into areas where it wasn't intended to go. Over time, this may contribute to problems around fascia, soffits, siding, foundations, landscaping, and other areas of the property. Regular eavestrough cleaning is relatively simple preventative maintenance compared with dealing with water-related problems after they develop.
​
Do You Clean Gutters With Gutter Guards?
Yes. Gutter guards can significantly reduce the amount of large debris entering the eavestrough, but they don't necessarily eliminate maintenance completely. Leaves, pine needles, seeds, dirt, and other debris can accumulate on top of certain gutter guard systems and interfere with water flow. Depending on the type and condition of your guards, we can remove accessible surface debris and clean the system appropriately.
​
Do You Remove the Gutter Guards to Clean Underneath Them?
This depends on the type of eavestrough guard installed and the service required. Some systems can be safely accessed or temporarily removed, while others are permanently fastened or integrated into the eavestrough or roofing system. We assess the gutter guards before attempting removal so we don't unnecessarily damage them.
​
Can You Clean Eaves on Two-Storey and Three-Storey Homes?
Yes. Our professional equipment allows us to service eavestrough on many single-storey and multi-storey properties. Height, roof pitch, accessibility, ground conditions, and surrounding obstacles are considered before beginning. Our technicians determine the safest and most appropriate method for each property.
​
Do I Need to Be Home During Eavestrough Cleaning?
No. You generally don't need to be home while we clean your eavestrough. As long as our technicians have access to the areas being serviced and any gates are unlocked, we can complete most eavestrough cleaning appointments while you're away.
​
Do You Need Access to My Water?
We may require access to an exterior water source when flushing eavestroughs or downspouts.
If water access is required for your particular service, please make sure an exterior faucet is available and turned on when our technicians arrive.
​
Can You Clean Eaves in the Rain?
Light weather may not always prevent us from working, but heavy rain, thunderstorms, strong winds, icy conditions, or other unsafe weather can require the service to be rescheduled. Working safely is more important than forcing a eavestrough cleaning appointment to happen under unsuitable conditions.
​
When Is the Best Time to Clean Eaves in Ontario?
Late spring and late fall are two of the most common times for eavestrough cleaning in Southwestern Ontario. Spring cleaning can remove debris accumulated over the winter and early growing season, while fall cleaning removes leaves and other material before winter arrives. Homes surrounded by significant tree coverage may benefit from additional cleanings throughout the year. For many Ontario homes, yes. Having eavestroughs cleared after the majority of surrounding leaves have fallen can help ensure the system isn't entering winter packed with debris. Because freezing temperatures, snow, and ice are part of Southwestern Ontario winters, starting the season with a clear gutter and downspout system is a sensible part of exterior home maintenance.
​
Do You Offer Gutter Guard Installation?
Yes. In addition to gutter cleaning, Bear Property Cleaning offers professional gutter guard installation for homeowners who want to reduce the amount of leaves and larger debris entering their gutter system.
Gutter guards can significantly reduce routine debris accumulation, although periodic inspection and maintenance may still be recommended depending on the property and surrounding trees.
​
Can I Have My Eaves, House and Windows Cleaned at the Same Time?
Yes. Eaves cleaning can easily be combined with other exterior cleaning services. Bear Property Cleaning also provides house washing, window cleaning, roof cleaning, pressure washing, deck and fence cleaning, and other exterior maintenance services throughout Southwestern Ontario. Combining services can be a convenient way to take care of multiple areas of your property during the same visit.
