Joints
On older runs the seams are the first places to open. We look at each one while the gutter is empty.

From Harvard Park and Lincoln Park to Westchester, Twin Lakes and Springfield Lakeshore, the city is a patchwork of eras and roof types. A cleaning visit has to fit each one. Our gutter cleaners in Springfield clear each run by hand and with blowers, working toward the downspout.
Then we flush every downspout with water. Water tells us what a gloved hand cannot: whether a downspout is open, whether a seam is leaking, whether the run drains where it should. We do not leave until the system is draining.
The city averages about 22 inches of snow a year. Once the last of it is gone, a spring visit clears what winter left, along with seeds and early debris.
Time it for after the main drop and before the first snow, so the channel is open when the freeze arrives.
A roof under heavy tree cover can use a third cleaning. Tell us which side of the house stays shaded and we will plan around it.

Experience the professional gutter cleaning services that Springfield, Illinois heritage homeowners count on from The Gutter Guys, serving the capital city’s established neighborhoods where mature oaks, elms, and maples create one of the heaviest seasonal debris loads in central Illinois. Our team cleans every gutter section with care, removing leaves, seedpods, shingle grit, and organic debris that packs channels under dense historic canopy. We flush every section and verify all downspouts are clear from top to bottom, noting hanger loosening, seam failures, or pitch problems along the way. Springfield winters bring ice storms that are hard on gutters and hangers, and fall leaf drop from large trees can fill a clean system in days. The Gutter Guys time service around those events, prioritizing a thorough late-fall cleaning before ice season and a spring visit after the last debris wave settles in. We work carefully on historic properties, protecting original trim and masonry throughout every visit, and leave your gutters functioning correctly through every Illinois season.
A cleaning is also a chance to catch small problems on a worn system.
On older runs the seams are the first places to open. We look at each one while the gutter is empty.
A loose end cap leaks onto the wall below, and it is easy to spot when the channel is clean.
We flush every one. About 38 inches of rain a year is a lot of water to send through a clogged pipe.
We confirm the system drains before we leave, not just at the top, but all the way to where the water exits.
The lower roof collects what the upper roof sheds, so a split-level or two-story home can fill from two directions. We work every level in one visit so nothing is left half done.
A few quick notes before the crew arrives.

They cleaned my gutters and installed leaf guards, I waited for a good rain and checked the flow and everything looks great. Highly recommended.
Experience was exceptional. Nathan explained the whole process, from the initial estimate through the installation. He didn’t try to sell a bunch of extras or talk over my head. He used concise layman’s terminology. The installation (even with rain delays). Went well. Truly an excellent experience that didn’t cost the church its foundation. Thank you for your work
The Gutter Guys did a great job installing my new gutters. Nathan is a great guy, personable and professional. The price was very competitive, and the job was done on schedule. The Guys are detail oriented, excellent fit and finish. My house looks great! Highly recommended!
Yes, and they are routine for us. The lower roof on a split-level catches what the upper one sheds, so we work every level during the same visit.
We tell you what we see in plain terms: a leaking joint, a loose end cap, a low spot. Some of it we can fix on the spot. If the run is past saving, we say so and talk through replacement.
Under heavy tree cover. Most Springfield homes do well with spring and fall visits, but a roof shaded by dense limbs can fill again before the next scheduled visit. If one side of your house keeps overflowing, ask about adding a third.
