Project Overview

We had the opportunity to take on a comprehensive gutter cleaning and installation of guards project in the quaint Sun Bay South neighborhood of Tampa, Florida (33611) in Hillsborough County. Our client, Katie Armstrong, was dealing with clogged gutters and damaged gutter guards that had been gnawed through by squirrels. The condition of her gutters was leading to both functional and aesthetic problems for her home. We worked diligently to deliver a complete transformation of her gutter system, from a problematic, clogged setup to a clean, well-protected system which not only performs better but enhances curb appeal as well.

Project Description

Primarily, the project entailed gutter cleaning and the installation of Diamond Back Stainless Steel Micro Mesh gutter guards, along with a few necessary ancillary services. The most distinctive aspect of the client’s request was that the guards needed to be squirrel-proof, thus our choice of stainless steel guards. With their robust and durable nature, the desired outcome was to facilitate efficient rainwater drainage while preventing the recurrence of the squirrel problem that had prompted the initial request.

Materials and Tools Used

In executing the project, we used a blower and hand-tools for gutter cleaning, along with the installation of the robust Diamond Back Stainless Steel Micro Mesh gutter guards. Notably, we designed these guards to be sturdy and long-lasting. Furthermore, we utilized a hydrojetter for the challenging task of unclogging and flushing out the downspouts that fed into the underground drains connected to the gutter system.

Challenges and Solutions

The project was not without its challenges. For instance, a significant portion of the downspouts was severely packed with debris, necessitating the removal and jetting through of the system. In some cases, we discovered that sections of the drains were heavily infested with thick roots, leading to the recommendation for replacement by a professional drain company. Throughout the process, we maintained strict adherence to safety protocols and worked diligently to ensure the most effective solutions were implemented to guarantee client satisfaction.

Step-by-Step Process

The project began with a comprehensive onsite assessment, followed by the removal of debris from the roof using a blower and hand-cleaning the gutters and downspouts. We further checked the gutters for proper pitch, adjusting the gutter hangers as needed to ensure perfect drainage.Then, we proceeded with the installation of the Diamond Back Stainless Steel Micro Mesh gutter guards. After that, we tackled the task of unclogging and flushing out each downspout inlet using a hydrojetter.
