A clogged gutter doesn't announce itself. The water backs up, works under the shingles or down the fascia, and by the time anyone notices there's a problem, the repair is significant. For seniors living independently, climbing a ladder to clean gutters isn't a safe option — and it's easy to put off until after the damage starts.

Guardian Senior Service clears gutters of leaves, debris and sediment buildup so water flows freely through downspouts and away from the foundation. We check that downspouts aren't blocked and that water is being directed away from the home.

What's included:

• All gutters cleared of leaves, twigs and debris
• Downspouts flushed and confirmed flowing
• Visible gutter condition noted in our same-day update to family

One visit before fall and one after the leaves are down keeps most homes in good shape year-round.
