Old Farm sits south of 75th Street with tree-lined streets and homes built mostly in the late 1970s and 1980s. Those mature oaks and maples drop heavy leaf loads every fall that pack into gutters and downspouts. We bring ladders and debris removal tools sized for the standard 5-inch gutters found on most ranches and two-stories here, clearing them before the first hard freeze sets in.
Spring rains hit the flat lots along Old Farm Road and Wehrli Road hard, so we check for sagging sections and make sure downspouts empty away from foundations. Narrow driveways and low branches on many properties mean we work carefully around landscaping and parked cars. Same-day service is common when storms are forecast.

Gutter Cleaning in Old Farm — Local Notes
- •Heavy leaf drop from established oaks and maples fills gutters faster than newer subdivisions.
- •Many homes still have original 5-inch gutters that overflow during April and May downpours unless cleaned twice a year.
- •Narrow driveways and low tree limbs limit ladder placement on several blocks, requiring careful setup.
- •Freeze-thaw cycles common in the IL area turn uncleared debris into ice dams along roof edges.
