Premium Gutter Cleaning Services in Deer Lake Highlands

Deer Lake Highlands is a small unincorporated community of custom homes on a plateau in the Santa Susana Mountains directly north of Chatsworth, above Twin Lakes and Browns Canyon. The houses are custom builds from several different decades on large lots, many of them two-story with long rooflines, a mix of concrete tile and composition shingle roofs, and gutter runs that are longer than anything on a tract house.

Elevation is the issue. These lots sit well above the San Fernando Valley floor and take the Santa Ana winds without anything to slow them down, so the gutters fill with dry oak leaves, pine needles and seed pods, plus a steady dusting of grit from the surrounding chaparral. The area is remote and surrounded by brush, which puts it squarely in a very high fire hazard zone, and a gutter full of dry litter is the last thing you want at the roof edge in October. When the rain finally comes, the slopes around each home mean a clogged downspout sends water downhill fast, eroding the grade and finding its way toward foundations and retaining walls.

For Deer Lake Highlands we recommend three visits a year under oaks or pines, late spring, late summer and late fall, and two visits for a lot with lighter tree cover.
