A home with a 1,500-square-foot roof sheds 1,000 gallons of water for every inch of falling rain. To prevent water from penetrating your home or damaging the foundation, it is essential that this water is gathered and channeled away from your home. Gutters and leaders serve just that purpose.
However, even a handful of debris prevents your gutters from working!
Gutters that are neglected will carry heavy debris which has accumulated over time, in addition to standing water. That debris and water can weigh as much as 370 pounds, and can damage the angle of the gutter (known as the gutter’s ‘pitch’). If that pitch is lost due to excess weight, standing water can back up into the home or overflow into the home’s foundation, possibly flooding your basement.
Delaying cleaning of the gutters could cause problems with your properties foundation, soffits, fascia and a variety of other problems. Call NEG Building Services, Inc. and ask about our gutter cleaning services or take advantage of our gutter maintenance contracts today.
The primary function of gutter cleaning, as you might expect, is to get leaves and other debris out of your gutters. However, proper gutter cleaning involves a lot more than throwing leaves out of your gutter. Gutters should also be inspected for structural integrity including the seams between individual gutter panels, the joints between gutters and down spouts, and that your gutters are securely attached to your home or business. Any defect can significantly impair your guttering system from safely diverting water away from your home or business.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are thinking of having your windows cleaned make sure you get the gutters cleaned first. Over flowing gutters can make windows that were just cleaned dirty again. Check out our (WINDOW CLEANING) business unit.
We also provide other gutter services such as minor gutter repairs, installation of French drains and other water diverting devices, gutter whitening and installation of rain barrels to catch rain water from your gutter system to use to water plants and landscaping, saving one of our vital natural resources and you money on your water bill.

There are over 70 gutter protection systems to choose from. Contractors, business owners and homeowners have seen the gamut of styles and designs. Some systems install under the shingle, some screw to the gutter and other systems need to be caulked in place. Some systems require special tools and make installation an all-day project.
With so many systems available, it can be overwhelming to choose. As a contractor, cost and ease of installation plays a big role in deciding which gutter protection system we are going to offer to our customers.
Rain Flow Gutter Protection is a system that fills the entire gutter opening so that nothing but water can get in. When Rain Flow is installed, rainwater passes easily through the material and quickly flows to the downspouts. Leaves, spinners, pine needles, twigs and other debris stay on top but don’t impede the flow of water. Because air flows both under and over the debris, it dries quickly and blows away on the next breezy day.
Installation is easy and fast. Only heavy-duty scissors are required. You won’t need screws, nails, brackets or caulk. Shingles are never touched, so roof warranties are not voided. Birds, hornets or bees can’t get in and build a nest, which happens with many of the metal covers. No color matching is necessary, which helps greatly with inventory control. Because of its low cost and easy installation, you can walk away with a nice profit from every job.
Rain Flow installs quickly in existing 5” and 6” K gutters without tools. No screws, brackets or caulk. 3 ft. lengths can be cut with a utility knife for miter joints and end caps.
You don’t lift the shingles to install Rain Flow.
Rain Flow’s material is not affected by changing weather. From hot summer sun to winter snow and freezing ice, Rain Flow protects gutters from clogging year-round.
Rain Flow can’t be seen from ground level. Unlike metal covers or screens. Rain Flow does not require color matching to shingles gutters or trim and doesn’t change the appearance of the home or business. Rain Flow works with any roof from flat to 16/12 pitch.
Rain Flow washes clean with every rainfall. It is tough, nonabsorbent and dries quickly. Shingle grit and other small debris pass through easily.
