Manual gutter clearing
We clean gutters by hand, placing debris directly into bags rather than blowing it onto lawns or decks. We clear packed leaves, pine needles, twigs, and roofing sand to ensure a completely clean channel.

Gutter Cleaning Martha's Vineyard
Protect your home from water damage. We provide safe, thorough gutter cleaning and downspout flushing to ensure rainwater flows away from your siding and foundation.
Gutter cleaning on Martha's Vineyard removes leaves, pine needles, and debris from gutters and downspouts twice a year - once in late spring after oak pollen drops and once in late fall after leaves finish dropping. Infinity Landscaping flushes downspouts, checks for separation and pitch issues, and offers gutter guard installation for properties under heavy tree cover.

What this page covers
Downspout flushing & checks
Clogs often form in downspout elbows. We check all downspouts for blockages and flush them with high-pressure water to verify that rainwater drains away from your home's foundation.
Gutter joint & hanger audits
While cleaning, we inspect the gutter's structure. We check for loose hangers, sagging sections, leaking seams, and clogged gutter guards, providing a photo report of any areas needing repair.
Safe ladder & roof practices
We prioritize safety and property protection. Our team uses ladder stand-offs to prevent gutters from scratching or crushing, and follows safe fall-protection practices on steep shingle roofs.

Preventing water damage on Island homes
With the heavy rain and coastal winds common on Martha's Vineyard, gutters carry a significant volume of water. When gutters become clogged with oak tassels in spring or maple leaves in autumn, water overflows the sides.
This overflow drains directly down your siding and trim, causing wood rot, peeling paint, and mold. It also pools at the foundation, leading to basement dampness and soil erosion in adjacent garden beds. Regular gutter cleaning is a simple, cost-effective way to protect your home's structure and keep your landscaping borders intact.

Frequently asked questions
We recommend cleaning gutters twice a year: once in spring (May/June) to clear oak tassels and pine pollen, and once in late fall (November) after all leaves have dropped. Properties surrounded by dense pine canopy may need a third mid-summer check.
