Our crews maintain more than 400 Rainwise-certified gutter systems every season, so we know which maintenance tasks keep rebate paperwork valid and fascia protected. Use this guide to match professional-grade habits on your own home.
Every quarter
- Clear debris from gutters and downspouts—focus on corners and valley connections.
- Flush each downspout with a hose and verify water flows to approved drainage or cisterns.
- Inspect hangers, brackets, and seams for movement or leaks.

Check off each task as you work through the seasons so nothing gets missed.
Spring tasks
After heavy storms, check that Rainwise-connected cisterns are draining through overflow piping. Clean mesh guards with a soft brush and reapply sealant where gutters meet fascia.
Summer tasks
Trim vegetation away from rooflines and confirm leaf screens are still seated. Schedule compliance tune-ups if you have an inspection coming up.
Fall tasks
Remove leaves weekly, ensure downspout elbows are pointed toward infiltration areas, and inspect Seattle basins for clogging.
Winter tasks
Check for ice dams, install heat tape if recommended, and confirm overflow routes remain clear. Book a midwinter cleaning if your property sits under tall evergreens.
Document each maintenance visit. Rainwise rebates require proof that gutters and cisterns are serviced regularly.
