It runs freely
The outlet and elbows are clear, and the run drains the way it should.
A gutter cleaning visit from first leaf to last flush
The crew clears the channel by hand and with blowers, flushes each downspout with water and watches that it drains. Joints and end caps get a look on older runs. Nothing is finished until the system is confirmed draining.
Two-story homes are common work for the crew, in Collinsville and Edwardsville as anywhere else, and it brings the ladders the roofline calls for. You stay on the ground.
Rivers are a different problem
Gutters handle roof water, not river water.
Granite City sits behind levees along the Mississippi and the Chain of Rocks Canal and did not flood in 1993. Alton, by contrast, had its worst flood of the last century that year, cutting its water supply for over three weeks.
No gutter holds back a river. What a clean gutter does is keep roof water from piling up against a foundation in ground that may already be wet, which is the part of the problem a homeowner controls.
Gutter Cleaning in Madison County
Experience thorough gutter cleaning services from The Gutter Guys, serving Madison County and the Metro East Illinois communities where Mississippi River valley storms can drop several inches of rain in an afternoon and leave gutters overwhelmed if not properly maintained beforehand. Our team works through each gutter section carefully, clearing leaves, storm debris, seedpods, and the sediment that accumulates in low spots after heavy events. We flush every section and verify all downspouts drain completely at ground level before moving on. We note hanger failures, seam separations, or pitch problems we observe and communicate them clearly to you. Madison County’s storm season runs from spring through early fall, and even winter brings ice events that stress gutter hangers and seams. The Gutter Guys understand these regional weather patterns and build service schedules around them, keeping your gutters functional before and after the hardest storms rather than only responding after visible damage has occurred. Professional equipment, clear communication, and respect for your property on every visit.

What a thorough cleaning leaves behind
The job is done when these are true.
- The channel is clear end to end, not just at the downspout

What flushing a downspout tells us
The water test answers questions a glance at the gutter cannot.
It backs up at an elbow
A packed bend is the usual cause, and it clears with the flush.
It runs but pools at the wall
The downspout works but ends in the wrong spot, a point worth raising before the next storm.

What homeowners say
Well priced, reliable, responsible with property, and a job well done. We get a lot of acorns in one upper gutter. Gutter guys took care of everything and all gutters are completely clear and fully efficient. Second time we have had Nathan come out for service/cleaning. Thank you so much and see you again in the future!
I had one seriously clogged gutter that I could not clear myself. I called the Gutter Guys, and they had Devon come out at a time convenient for me. He cleared and adjusted to prevent further issues. Devon is very pleasant person to talk to, he explains everything well.
Pete from The Gutter Guys did an awesome job on my Gutter cleaning. He explained everything before hand and took pictures of the gutters after cleaning. Very happy with the job. I will definitely be using them for all future cleanings. I also would like to add that he was very friendly and polite which is another bonus.
