Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Riverside on Nuttall Road. 3150 sq ft. Completed by our Clarendon Hills team.
— Clarendon Hills crew
Riverside's tree canopy is dense enough that by late season the gutters on a house this size can be carrying a season's worth of debris — compacted leaf matter, seed pods, the fine silt that builds up underneath. This two-story house, around 3,150 square feet, had reached that point. The job covered both the main house and a detached garage, and we arrived at eleven in the morning with a straightforward scope in mind.
We worked through the gutters systematically, clearing the buildup from the house first and then moving to the garage. The downspouts on the main structure were clogged and needed to be flushed through before flow was restored. While clearing them, we found that the underground drain lines receiving the downspout discharge were also blocked — not something a gutter crew can resolve, but something the homeowner needed to know. We flagged it clearly: those underground pipes require a plumber to properly clear. We wrapped the cleaning by two in the afternoon, with the gutters themselves open and draining to grade, and left the homeowner with a straightforward account of what was done and what still needed attention.
Crew on this job
Timothy
Timothy may be our youngest technician, but don’t let that fool you. He’s experienced, professional, courteous, and already knows his way around the job like a seasoned pro. He’s also a promising DJ, so there’s a good chance he can fix the problem and recommend a solid playlist while he’s at it. Everyone loves Timothy because he’s easy to talk to, always upbeat, and genuinely enjoys meeting people. He also has a strange love for Wisconsin, which we still haven’t fully figured out - but nobody’s perfect.

Common questions from Riverside homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story home around 3,000 square feet in Riverside, IL, expect to pay in the $250–$350 range depending on debris load and downspout conditions. This job came in at $300, which included clearing heavily clogged downspouts and addressing underground drain blockages. Most Clarendon Hills-area gutter cleanings for similarly sized homes land right in that window.
A 2-story home of this size typically takes a crew two to three hours from setup to cleanup. When downspouts are badly clogged or underground drains are backed up, as they were here, add another thirty to sixty minutes to clear everything properly. We don't move on until water flows freely through every outlet.
We clear all debris from the gutters themselves, flush and unclog every downspout, and check that water is draining away from the foundation. On this job we also cleared underground drain clogs, which is an add-on we offer when standing water or slow drainage points to a blockage below grade. Everything gets tested with a water flush before we leave.
Our gutter cleaning service focuses on getting the system flowing correctly — debris removal, downspout clearing, and drain flushing — rather than structural repairs like resealing seams or replacing sections. If we spot damage while we're up there, we'll point it out so you can decide on next steps. For a quote, call our Clarendon Hills team at (708) 332-0096.
