Removes debris (leaves, twigs, sediment) from inside the gutter trough and downspouts. Prevents water overflow, foundation damage, and roof rot. This is a separate service from exterior brightening — we use a wet/dry vacuum, scoops, and a final flush.
Frequency: Twice per year — fall after leaf drop and spring after pollen season.
Removes the black or dark streaks (called "tiger stripes") that run vertically down the exterior face of gutters. These are caused by oxidized asphalt from the roof washing down and bonding to the aluminum or vinyl surface. Standard pressure washing cannot remove them — they require a chemical dissolving agent applied by hand or soft wash.
Frequency: Every 2–3 years, or whenever tiger stripes become visible from the ground.
Restores faded, chalky, or discolored white gutters to a bright, clean appearance. Oxidation naturally causes white gutters to turn chalky or cream-colored over years of sun exposure. A specialized cleaning compound removes the oxidized layer, revealing the original white finish.
Frequency: Every 3–5 years depending on sun exposure and gutter color.
01
Assess severity and type of gutter staining — tiger stripes, oxidation, or mineral deposits.
02
A concentrated brightening compound is applied to the gutter face with a soft brush or low-pressure sprayer.
03
The compound is gently agitated to break the electrostatic bond between the stain and the gutter surface.
04
Thoroughly rinsed to reveal a clean, bright gutter face. No pressure washing needed on the gutter itself.
