Tokyo | Setagaya-ku: We performed rain gutter cleaning! Complete service for 5000 yen!!

Setagaya-ku, Tokyo – This is the before and after of the rain gutter cleaning.
Thank you very much for choosing Kakeru Koumuten Co., Ltd.

We received a consultation regarding rain overflowing from the rain gutter when it rains, so we came to clean it!

After the cleaning, we conducted a water flow test and successfully completed the job!
The cost was 5,000 yen!

A collector is a component installed in the roof’s rain gutter (eaves gutter) that collects rainwater and directs it to the drainage system!

After the cleaning, we also conducted a water flow test and confirmed that the water flows properly.
Neglecting this task can lead to blockages inside the rain gutter even after cleaning, causing overflow.

The customer was able to confirm the results through photos and seemed very satisfied!
Thank you!

Cleaning the rain gutters is surprisingly important, as leaving them clogged for years can cause deformation or damage to the rain gutters or brackets due to the weight of stagnant rainwater.
Additionally, overflowing rainwater can lead to not only noise but also the growth of moss on the exterior walls.

We recommend cleaning every 1 to 3 years.
If plants grow in the accumulated soil, they can take root inside the rain gutter, making cleaning difficult or necessitating replacement.

Cost Estimates for Rain Gutter Repair and Cleaning

We will also introduce the general cost estimates for rain gutter repair and cleaning.

While the costs for rain gutter repair and maintenance can vary depending on the specifics of the repair, we will summarize the general estimates!

In cases of missing or damaged rain gutters, we will 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 with new rain gutters and support brackets.

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

When is the Right Time for Rain Gutter Repair and Cleaning?

The lifespan of rain gutters is considered to be about 15 to 20 years, and it is common to consider maintenance around the same time as the painting of exterior walls and roofs. 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 for regular maintenance.

● Damage or missing sections of the rain gutter
● The angle of tilt is too steep
● 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 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 only attached to the building, they can be blown away by strong winds or heavy rain. During periods when typhoons are frequent, quick action is especially important, so be sure to check your rain gutters after a typhoon.

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 from a ladder on the first floor, scaffolding will be set up. There are exceptional cases where work can be done on the second floor without scaffolding.

The cost of scaffolding for rain gutter work is often included in the estimate provided by the contractor, but it is advisable to confirm this if you are unsure.

Can Fire Insurance Cover Rain Gutter Repair or Cleaning?

It is possible that rain gutter work can be covered by fire insurance. If you have fire insurance, you may be able to cover repair costs with insurance money if the damage is recognized as a natural disaster covered by the policy.

For example, typical cases include damage from strong winds or heavy rain caused by typhoons, tornadoes, heavy snow or avalanches, and water, wind, or snow disasters. Costs for scaffolding during rain leak repair work may also be covered by insurance. Please check the official website or brochures of your insurance company for the scope of coverage.

Basic Eligibility Conditions for Fire Insurance Claims for Rain Gutter Repair Work

・Repair costs for rain gutters must be 200,000 yen or more, or 100,000 yen or more (varies by insurance company and contract)
・Claims and requests must be made within 3 years of damage due to natural disasters such as wind or 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, you can apply within three years.

Process for Fire Insurance Claims

This is the process for applying for claims under fire insurance for damages or distortions to rain gutters caused by natural disasters. Request a reliable renovation company or contractor to create an estimate for the repair costs of the rain gutters. If you are unsure whether the damage is due to a natural disaster, it is advisable to have an inspection done.

Partial repairs to 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 costs are 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.

Documents Required for Application

The estimate should be prepared by the repair contractor. For photos taken in dangerous locations such as the second floor, it is advisable to request 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, and they should be able to explain the application process, so please feel free to contact us.
