Premium Gutter Cleaning in Mulholland Drive

Mulholland Drive runs along the ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains between the San Fernando Valley and the Westside, and the homes along it are hillside builds by definition. They range from mid-century houses with flat or low-slope roofs to sprawling gated estates in Mulholland Estates and Beverly Park, both developed from the 1980s on, with tile roofs. Almost every lot is cut into a slope, with a pad on one side and a drop-off on the other, and the gutters have to move water down to a drain or the street rather than just away from the house.

The ridge takes wind from both sides. Santa Ana gusts come over from the Valley and marine wind pushes up from the ocean side, and both carry chaparral debris, eucalyptus bark, pine needles and oak leaves from the canyons below. The whole corridor is mapped as a very high fire hazard zone, and a gutter full of dry litter on a ridge home is exactly what an ember is looking for. In winter, an overflowing gutter or a disconnected downspout puts water onto a slope that is often steep and already stressed, and hillside erosion under a Mulholland home is expensive to fix.

For homes along Mulholland we recommend three visits a year where oaks or pines overhang the roof and two for a lot with lighter tree cover.
