While doing an estimate in NW Portland today for a roof & gutter cleaning on this home that's going on the market, I came across a moss filled gutter section.  Although it doesn't surprise me, It just gos to show that even if trees are not contributing the regular debris build up that normally causes the clogs, the NW weather and roof run off creates its own.  Many people that don't have trees around there property often will not think about gutter cleaning, until an over flow occurs.  Judging by the moss accumulation I would guess the gutters haven't been touched in several years or more.

If your gutters are slightly off pitch then there holding water making a prime environment for moss to grow inside them.  If you haven't had your gutters looked at in a few years and your not comfortable looking your self, then please don't hesitate to call.  We can check your entire gutter system for your home, just in case you have something like this hiding up there.

These are some stuffed gutters!  This mornings project in Hillsboro, I came across this small section that has been over stuffed.  We should certainly clean them more often than the yearly visit we have to this home.  What could happen is all this debris that stays wet resting at the roof edge causes the water to wick up behind the gutter fascia board potentially causing rot or premature corrosion on the roof edge.  Not to mention the weight this section of gutter is holding can pull the gutters down. I suggested a 6 month partial gutter cleaning to ensure the proper functioning of the gutter system.

Another issue is the roof moss on this back hard to see side of the house.  This seems to be the only area at the home that collects moss growth like this.  We remedied it with a spray on moss inhibitor which should cause the moss to slowly die and hopefully go away.  An annual treatment of this area would be good preventative maintenance.
