Gutter Brightening Service
We remove black stripes on gutters
Do you have black vertical stripes on the exterior walls of your gutters that just won’t come off when you hose them down? You are not alone. Many homeowners in the Charlotte area deal with this issue. Also called tiger stripes, those dark stripes are caused by dirt, organic and inorganic debris as well as mineral deposits from the roof covering that mix with rainwater and overflow over the lip and front of the gutters, usually as a result of clogged gutters, excess moisture in the air and even the morning dew!
Tiger stripes usually start at the top lip of the gutter and run down vertically across the entire height of the gutter surface, sometimes continuing onto the soffit and siding. This type of staining is most visible on light color gutters. What starts as faint black lines turns into darker stripes that are difficult to remove and make your gutters looks dirty and unattractive.
As run offs from your gutters combine with oxidation that results from the sun baking their exterior coating, those stripes become increasingly difficult to remove. If you live near Charlotte and have black stripes on your gutters, call the professionals at Bluewhale Powerwash to take care of it for you.

What is gutter brightening?
While gutter brightening is more of an aesthetic improvement than a functional one, stripes on gutters are often a tell-tale sign that gutters are or were clogged at some point in time, which is a more serious issue that would necessitate a gutter cleaning service. Gutter brightening is the process of removing back stripes from gutters and downspouts hence restoring the original appearance of gutters. This service does wonder to the curb appeal of a home! Using professional-grade cleaning solutions, Bluewhale Powerwash is able to remove oxidation stains on gutters. Brightening gutters does not mean lighting up the original color of your gutters, whether they were originally white, brown, tan or any other color. Rather it means that Bluewhale Powerwash treats gutters to remove discoloration on top of the gutter walls hence restoring the original appearance of your gutters. Brightening your gutters is a lot more economical than having to paint your gutters, or even worst, replace them.
