Gutter Cleaning in Kinnelon, NJ

Kinnelon covers about 19 square miles of wooded hills in northern Morris County. Large areas of the borough are parkland and reservoir land, including Silas Condict County Park, Splitrock Reservoir and part of the Pyramid Mountain Natural Historical Area. Most homes sit on larger lots under mature trees, from the gated Smoke Rise community to the three lakes of Fayson Lakes.

That tree cover is a big reason gutters in Kinnelon fill up quickly. Leaves, pine needles, seeds and twigs collect in the gutters through the fall, and once the downspouts clog, rainwater spills over the edge and runs down the siding and toward the foundation. Our gutter cleaning clears that debris so water can drain away from the house the way it was designed to.

Elevation in Kinnelon ranges from about 240 feet to more than 1,100 feet, so many homes sit on slopes or ridges with trees on several sides. Wind carries leaves onto roofs even when the nearest tree is not directly over the house, and debris that settles on a roof washes into the gutters with the next rain.

Homes near the lakes and in the more wooded sections of the borough often need their gutters cleaned more than once a year. A cleaning in late fall, after most of the leaves have dropped, clears the heaviest load before winter. Clear gutters also help reduce the chance of ice building up along the roof edge when temperatures drop.
