How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters in Calgary?

Twice a year — spring and fall — covers most Calgary homes. Here's the reasoning and when to break that rule.

Why Spring and Fall

Fall cleaning clears leaves before winter, when clogged gutters contribute to ice dams. Spring cleaning clears whatever built up over winter and catches anything missed in fall.

When You Need More Frequent Cleaning

• Heavy tree cover directly over your roofline.
• A particularly windy or debris-heavy season.
• Previous overflow issues or visible sagging.

Signs You're Overdue

Visible plant growth in the gutter, water overflowing during rain instead of draining through downspouts, or sagging sections are all signs you've waited too long.

Bundle for Efficiency

Many homeowners bundle gutter cleaning with their seasonal window cleaning visit — see our bundling guide.
