Gutter clogs are a serious concern for any homeowner. Gutters are known to catch anything from falling leaves to dust to lawn debris, which can cause serious problems for your drainage system. If enough debris builds up in one place, it can clog the gutter so that water spills over instead of making it to the downspout, or in particularly bad cases, the weight of the clog can become so heavy that the system can’t support it anymore. In cases like this, your gutter can fully detach from the side of your house, making it functionally useless.
Gutters are built specifically to take and successfully channel a deluge of water, so people might think that gutter pressure washing is an obvious solution when they’re looking to get rid of clogs. However, pressure washing shoots water at your gutters with far more speed and power than even the harshest rainstorms. In some cases, it can damage your gutters or the system holding them onto your house.
Thankfully, when it comes to cleaning gutters, you don’t have to choose between risking damage via gutter pressure washing or getting up on the ladder yourself to painstakingly pick out leaf gunk one clump at a time. We at Lily’s SoftWash use a special cleaning method called soft washing, which can gently clean your gutters without any of the harsh treatment of pressure washing, all while making sure that the underlying causes of mildew, mold, and algae are addressed and taken care of, which means our cleaning can last you four to six times longer than if you’d used gutter pressure washing.
