That’s why here at Gutter Empire, we’re committed to bringing you affordable, thorough gutter cleaning in Portland, so you never have to worry about the health of your home.

check whether your gutter is clogged.

So how do you know if your gutters are clogged? A quick, simple visual inspection can tell you a lot about the state of your gutters. If you see gutters that are sagging in the middle or seem to be growing their own miniature garden, those are both signs that your gutters have become packed with organic material. You might also notice birds, small animals like mice and opossums, and insect pests like mosquitos, hornets, and wasps. All of these creatures find the wet, mildew-filled environment of a clogged gutter to be an attractive place to make a nest.
