Gutter cleaning plans
Summary: Celtic Rainwater Systems cleans gutters, inspects them and makes small repairs on each visit, and sells an auto-scheduled seasonal maintenance plan where the customer picks the visit frequency. It does not publish prices[1][2].
Why does the company push regular cleaning?
The cleaning page compares gutters to a car: they “need regular cleaning to ensure optimal function”[1]. Its point is that clogged downspouts and full gutters let roof water spill over the front of the system, and “often times these issues are not noticed until there is a problem”. Overflow puts water against the foundation, into window wells and behind the fascia, which is where a cleaning problem becomes a drainage or rot problem.
How does the seasonal maintenance plan work?
Customers sign up through a form on the cleaning page and choose the frequency of visits; the company then handles the scheduling[1]. It describes this as an “auto-scheduled maintenance plan” so that gutters “are cleaned when they need to be, not when problems arise”. The home page calls it an “auto scheduled yearly maintenance plan”[2]. The company does not publish plan prices or the visit options on the form’s public page. It describes its team as “fully insured” and says the process “includes a complete clean up of the grounds”[1].
What happens during a visit?
The home page says the crew “will inspect all gutter systems during your gutter cleaning, and make small repairs as needed to improve the existing system”[2]. That combination, cleaning plus inspection, is the main difference from a one-off cleaning by a general handyman, which the company contrasts with its own service. A useful check during any cleaning is to run water through each downspout to confirm it flows freely, because a clog in a downspout elbow or a buried line can make a clean gutter overflow anyway.
When should gutters be cleaned in Indianapolis?
Most homeowners in central Indiana time cleaning around leaf fall in late autumn and again in spring after seeds and blossoms drop. The rainfall record supports a spring check: May and June are the wettest months at Indianapolis International Airport, averaging about 4.8 inches each over 1996 to 2025[3]. A late-autumn cleaning also clears the gutters before freezing weather, when packed leaves hold water that can freeze and add weight. Houses under pine, maple or oak trees may need more visits; the company’s plan lets customers set the frequency[1].
Can I clean gutters myself?
Many people do, but ladder falls are a real risk. The company pitches its service to people who are “tired of getting on a ladder”[2]. If you do it yourself, the ladder safety page sets out the federal workplace safety guidance on ladder setup, which applies just as well at home.
