Never Clean Your Rain Gutters Again!

Rain Gutter Cleaning and Rain Flow Installation

Rain gutters have a tendency to collect dirt and debris from the roof and from birds seeding to make a nest. Over time, the weight of the debris can weigh them down heavily and water will not flow to the downspout properly causing damage to the gutter and an unsightly mess. To protect your investment, we suggest a bi-annual cleaning of your gutters to remove all debris. We will clean them out and make them look as if they have just been installed. Elite Window Washing can also intall Rain Flow to your raing gutters so that you would not have to have them cleaned but only one time. SEE BELOW. This service can be added to your window cleaning service.

Rain Flow Total Gutter Protection is a system that fills the entire gutter opening so that nothing but water can get in. When Rain Flow is installed, rainwater passes easily through the material and quickly flows to the downspouts. Leaves, spinners, pine needles, twigs and other debris stay on top but don’t impede the flow of water. Because air flows both under and over the debris, it dries quickly and blows away on the next breezy day.

Quick and easy to install.
Rain Flow installs quickly in existing 5” and 6” K gutters without tools. No screws, brackets or caulk. 3 ft. lengths can be cut with a utility knife for miter joints and end caps.

No damaged shingles or tiles!

Permanent all-weather protection!
Rain Flow’s™ patented material is not affected by changing weather. From hot summer sun to winter snow and freezing ice, Rain Flow™ protects gutters from clogging year-round.

Invisible from the ground.
Rain Flow can't be seen from ground level. Unlike metal covers or screens.
Rain Flow does not require color matching to shingles, gutters or trim and doesn't change the appearance of the home.
Rain Flow™ works with any roof from flat to 12/12 pitch.

Self-cleaning
Rain Flow washes clean with every rainfall. It is tough, nonabsorbent and dries quickly. Shingle grit and other small debris pass through easily.

 

 

Homeowners Tips - Maintaining Roofs & Gutters

Annual inspections and preventative maintenance of roofs and rain gutters can help identify problems that need to be fixed and can extend the life of your roof and rain gutters. Below are some tips that Elite Window Washing gives that should help you avoid some common problems.

Got Trees?
Trees lose their leaves. This debris, as well as other types of debris, can cause a roof to deteriorate by:

• Promoting moisture. This encourages the growth of algae, fungus or moss.
• Preventing the water from draining properly. This causes water to backup under the shingles thereby causing a leak.
• Damming rain gutters and drains. This also causes water to back up under the shingles. Trees that are near the home or that have branches that overhang the roof can cause damage by rubbing against the shingles and rain gutters.

To prevent these problems:

• Remove debris from your roof
• Clean out rain gutters, downspouts and drains
• Cut tree branches away from the rain gutters and drains

Roof
There are many visual clues on a roof that can help point to problem areas. Check the roof for:

• Missing, damaged, or improperly aligned shingles. Repair or replace these shingles.
• Exposed or raised nails. As a general rule no nail heads should be showing on any roof unless they are caulked or sealed.
• Dried out, cracked or missing caulk or roofing cement. Remove old material and replace with new caulk or roofing cement.
• Damaged or water-stained facia. Determine what is causing the staining. Repair or replace the facia. Installing edge metal at the bottom of the roof may solve the problem.
• Missing, improperly installed or damaged flashing. Flashing should be around all penetrations and low spots on the roof. Flashing helps direct water away from roof penetrations and low spots. Penetrations can include vents, fireplaces, skylights, antennas, satellite dishes, heater pipes, air conditioning ducts, dormers, turbines, cable or tie-off hooks, etc. If the flashing is damaged or missing, have the flashing repaired or replaced.
• Overall shingle (roofing material) deterioration. It may be time to replace your roof. Consult a licensed, bonded and insured roofing contractor.

Roofs can be dangerous. If you are planning on doing the inspections and/or maintenance yourself, make sure you stay safe by having the proper equipment and by watching your step. In addition to the proper equipment make sure you have:

• a sturdy ladder that is tall enough to access your roof safely
• shoes with good traction
• a work partner/spotter
