When to clean gutters in Columbus, Ohio, based on local rainfall, plus 11 local gutter companies whose websites we checked.

When to clean gutters in Columbus

Columbus gets about 41.6 inches of rain and snow a year, with the most in July and the least in February. Snowfall averages about 28.2 inches a year, so check gutters and downspouts after winter storms, when ice and fallen branches can block them. Leaves, seeds and twigs collect in gutters all year, and heavy rain is when a blocked gutter overflows, so the safest plan is a regular schedule:

  • Late autumn, after most leaves have fallen, to clear the biggest load before winter.
  • Spring, to clear seeds, flowers and anything winter brought down.
  • After big storms, check that downspouts drain freely.

Gutter repair, installation and gutter guards in Columbus

Cleaning is not the only job people search for in Columbus: repairs, new or seamless gutters and leaf guards come up often. If water drips behind the gutter, joints leak or sections sag, ask for a repair quote before the next heavy rain. When gutters are rusted through or pulling away along most of the house, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. Thinking about guards? Our gutter guards guide explains the main types and their trade-offs. Several of the companies below list repairs, installation or guards on their websites; ask each one exactly what they do.
