Las Vegas Gutter Cleaning: Why Monsoon Bursts Expose Clogged Downspouts Fast
Local Handyman Las Vegas
February 5 , 2025
In Las Vegas, gutters don’t “drip problem” like wetter cities — they fail all at once during a monsoon dump when downspouts are packed. We clear the flow path and make sure water exits away from the house, not down the stucco.
Most gutter issues here show up after one of those quick summer storms: water sheets over the edge, pounds the fascia, and splashes mud up the wall. With loamy alluvial soil and caliche layers underfoot, heavy rain can run off hard and pool along the foundation line if gutters overflow or dump too close to the slab. Then the heat + UV cooks sealants and warps cheap plastic components, so little leaks at end caps or corners become steady drips when the gutter finally carries volume. Common homeowner signs are water staining on stucco, “tiger striping,” wet spots at the garage edge, and planter beds getting cratered under a downspout. The solid fix is straightforward: hand-clean, flush downspouts, check pitch, tighten hangers, seal corners, and confirm discharge runs away from the foundation (especially before monsoon season).
| Common Las Vegas Gutter Work | What it usually includes | Typical range |

| Minor leak sealing | Reseal end caps/corners, tighten | $150–$350 |
| Hanger re-secure / slope tune | Refasten, correct pitch sections | $200–$500 |
| Gutter guard check/clean | Clear guards + flush trough | $175–$400 |

We see a lot of Vegas gutters that “look fine” until the first real cloudburst—then the overflow leaves stains and splash-back mess. If the trough and downspouts are actually flowing, the whole system suddenly acts boring again (which is the goal, honestly).
