Why cleaning gutters is so important
Gutters serve one very important purpose – to manage rainwater. As rain hits your roof, water is collected by gutters and redirected away from your home via downspouts to designated areas. Doing so reduces the risk of water and moisture accumulating at the base of your home and sipping into your crawlspace. Rainwater can also erode the soil around your foundation walls and get underneath your foundation causing settlement. It seems that water always find a way to get in the wrong places.
Clogged gutters prevent efficient rainwater management. It leads to water overflowing from the gutters rather than the downspouts and backflowing on fascia boards on to which gutters are attached. This can lead to wood decay of fascia boards and substrate, rotting of the sheathing underneath shingles, soffit and siding decay, sinking foundation and a host of other problems. In other words, neglected gutters can cause a lot of structural damages and expensive repairs.
Unless you have a high performance gutter-guard system in place, your gutters will naturally accumulate dirt, branches, leaves, moss, granules from shingles and other debris. The closer trees and shrubbery are from your roof, the more often you will need to clean your gutters. Left on their own, gutters will get clogged and develop their own eco system with plants and moss growing out of them!

Our gutter cleaning process
Our gutter cleaning process involves removing debris from inside your gutters and flushing your gutter system. The gutters will be cleaned using a backpack blower if the roof is walkable and by hand if our technicians cannot walk on your roof. We can only clean gutters that are at a maximum height of 24 feet. If your roof is walkable, 9/12 pitch or below (about 35° slope), and it has debris on it, it would be the perfect time to have Bluewhale Powerwash remove debris from your roof. We also offer roof cleaning services to remove organic growths and black streaks on roofs. We also offer another gutter service called gutter brightening to remove oxidation stains and dark lines (tiger striping) on gutter exterior walls.
