Neglecting this task can lead to clogs inside the rain gutter, causing overflow.

About Rain Gutter Cleaning

Rain gutter cleaning is surprisingly important; if left clogged for many years, the weight of the stagnant rainwater can cause deformation or damage to the rain gutter or support brackets.
Additionally, overflowing rainwater can cause not only noise but also the growth of moss on the exterior walls.

We recommend cleaning every 1 to 3 years.
If soil becomes clogged and plants start to grow, roots may take hold inside the rain gutter, making cleaning difficult or necessitating replacement.

Cost Estimates for Rain Gutter Repair and Cleaning

We will also introduce the typical costs associated with general rain gutter repair and cleaning.

When it comes to repairing or maintaining rain gutters, the specific costs can vary depending on the type of repair needed, but here is a summary of the market prices!

In cases of missing or damaged rain gutters, we can either repair them partially or replace them with new ones. If the rain gutter is tilted outward, we will remove the support brackets and replace them along with the new rain gutter.

When a joint is detached, it is common to clean the application surface of the rain gutter, apply adhesive, and fit a new joint. If there are multiple areas of tilt or if the support brackets of the rain gutter are also missing, partial repairs may not be sufficient, and a complete replacement repair of the rain gutter will be necessary.

When is the best time for rain gutter repair and cleaning?

The lifespan of rain gutters is about 15 to 20 years, and it is common to consider maintenance around the same time as exterior walls and roof painting. However, if you notice any of the following issues, it may be time for rain gutter repair or cleaning.
If rain gutters are left clogged, the weight of accumulated water and mud can cause them to warp.
Rain gutter cleaning should be done every 1 to 3 years, so make sure to schedule regular cleanings.

● Damage or missing sections of the rain gutter
● Too steep of an angle
● Brackets are detached or broken
● Joints are missing
● Rainwater is overflowing, causing leaks
● Plants are growing from the rain gutter

Improper installation or malfunction of the rain gutters can lead to leaks, which may escalate into disputes with neighbors. In such cases, prompt leak repairs are necessary.

Additionally, since rain gutters are simply attached to the building, they can be blown away by strong winds or heavy rain. Especially during periods of consecutive typhoons, quick action is required, so be sure to check your rain gutters after a typhoon passes.

Is scaffolding necessary for rain gutter repair or cleaning?

Whether scaffolding is needed for rain gutter repair or cleaning depends on the location of the work being done.

For rain gutters on the first floor, work is generally done using a ladder, so scaffolding is not required. For rain gutters on the second floor or higher, or if it is unsafe to work on the first-floor rain gutters with a ladder, scaffolding will be set up. There are exceptional cases where work can be done on the second floor or higher without scaffolding.

The cost of scaffolding for rain gutter work is often included in the estimate provided by the contractor, but it’s a good idea to confirm this just to be safe.

Can fire insurance be applied to rain gutter repair or cleaning?

It is possible to apply fire insurance to rain gutter work. If you have fire insurance and the damage is recognized as a natural disaster covered by the policy, you can use the insurance money to cover repair costs.

For example, typical cases include damage from strong winds or heavy rain due to typhoons, tornadoes, heavy snowfall or avalanches, and water, wind, or snow disasters such as hail. Costs for scaffolding during leak repair work may also be covered by insurance. Please check the official website or brochure of your insurance company for details on the coverage.

Basic eligibility conditions for applying for fire insurance for rain gutter repair work

・The cost of rain gutter repair work is over 200,000 yen or over 100,000 yen (this varies depending on the insurance company and contract).
・Claims and applications must be made within three years of damage due to natural disasters such as wind and snow.
・The condition for strong winds is generally damage caused by winds with a maximum instantaneous wind speed of 20 m/s or more.

Even if the repair or renovation work has already been completed, applications can still be made within three years.

Process for Fire Insurance Claims

This is the process for applying for claims under fire insurance for damage or distortion of rain gutters due to natural disasters. Request a cost estimate for rain gutter repair work from a reliable renovation company or contractor. If you are unsure whether the damage is due to a natural disaster, it is advisable to have an inspection done.

Partial repairs of rain gutters may not be covered by fire insurance if they can be done at a low cost. If the damage is due to a natural disaster and the estimated repair cost is 200,000 yen or more, you can claim fire insurance.

However, with the increasing prevalence of all-risk type fire insurance in recent years, you may also receive compensation equivalent to the actual loss amount.

Documents Required for Application

The estimate should be prepared by the repair contractor. For photos taken in dangerous places such as the second floor, it is advisable to ask the repair contractor to handle it. Gather the necessary documents and submit them to the insurance company to proceed with the application and claim.
For more details, you can ask the repair contractor, who should be able to guide you through the application process, so please feel free to contact us.
