ROOF AND GUTTER WORK IN
SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco's mature urban tree canopy — cypress, eucalyptus, liquidambar — drops debris year-round. Properties throughout the Richmond, Sunset, Mission, and Noe Valley accumulate significant organic material on roofs and in gutters between services. The city's wet season runs November through March, and clogged gutters going into that window mean overflowing water that bypasses the drainage system entirely — directing rainfall against fascia, soffits, and foundations rather than away from the structure.

> Flat roofs and drains

San Francisco has an unusually high proportion of flat and low-slope roofs. Flat roofs drain through internal drains and scuppers rather than gutters — and those drains collect debris just as gutters do. Blocked roof drains create standing water on the membrane, which accelerates deterioration and eventually finds its way inside. We clear roof drains and scuppers as part of the service on flat roof properties.

> What gets cleared

Organic debris — leaves, twigs, seed pods, and compacted sediment — from gutters and gutter guards. Moss growth on roof surfaces and in valley areas. Downspout blockages flushed with water. Roof debris removed from valleys, hip intersections, and flat membrane surfaces. The drainage system leaves working the way it should.

ROOF AND GUTTER
PROCESS.

01

Roof Assessment

Inspect roof surface, gutters, downspouts, valleys, and drains before starting. Note condition of roofing material, moss growth, and any pre-existing damage.

02

Roof Debris Removal

Clear organic debris from roof surface, valleys, ridges, and hip transitions. Remove moss and compacted organic material from flat roof membrane where applicable.

03

Gutter Clearout

Remove all debris — leaves, sediment, compacted material — from gutter troughs. Clear guards and screens where installed.

04

Downspout Flush

Flush downspouts from the top to clear blockages and confirm water flow is unobstructed from gutter to exit point at grade.

05

Final Check

Walk the property, confirm all drainage paths are clear. Note any structural issues — gutter hangers, soffit gaps, flashing problems — visible during service.

Gutters cleared and drainage restored. Call or text for a free San Francisco estimate.

ROOF & GUTTER
QUESTIONS

Straight answers for San Francisco homeowners. Don't see yours? Call or text (408) 598-1857.

How often should San Francisco roofs have debris removed?

Once or twice a year for most properties. The city's mature street trees drop debris year-round. The wet season (November through March) is the highest-risk window for debris-clogged gutters causing overflow and water intrusion.

What happens if gutters stay clogged in San Francisco?

Clogged gutters overflow during rain, directing water against fascia, soffit, and foundation. In San Francisco's older housing stock with wood framing, water intrusion from overflowing gutters can cause significant rot and structural damage over a single wet season.

Do you clean flat roofs as well as pitched roofs in San Francisco?

Yes. San Francisco has a high proportion of flat and low-slope roofs — particularly in the Mission, Castro, and Richmond districts. Flat roofs drain through internal drains and scuppers rather than gutters. We clear roof drains and remove debris from membrane surfaces as part of the service.

Can debris on the roof cause damage beyond gutter blockage?

Yes. Wet organic debris sitting on a roof surface retains moisture against the roofing material. On flat roofs with membrane, this accelerates degradation. On pitched roofs, it traps moisture that promotes algae and moss growth and can work under the shingle layer.

Are you licensed and insured for roof and gutter work in San Francisco?

Yes. Bull Run Exterior Wash LLC is fully licensed and carries general liability insurance on every job.
