What’s Included in Our Gutter Cleaning Service
We clean gutters and downspouts on single-story and two-story homes, with careful attention to the issues our Pacific Northwest climate creates:
- Complete debris removal — Leaves, needles, moss, and sediment scooped from gutters and flushed from downspouts.
- Downspout flushing and unclogging — Water tested through every downspout to ensure proper drainage away from your foundation.
- Minor gutter repairs — Loose hangers re-secured, small leaks sealed, sagging sections re-pitched for proper flow.
- Fascia inspection — We check for rot behind gutters where overflow has caused hidden damage.
- Moss and algae treatment — Common in our damp climate. We clear growth that blocks water flow.
- Gutter guard consultation — Honest advice on whether guards make sense for your home and tree coverage. Need roofline or exterior help? See our deck repair service.
Why Gutter Cleaning Matters in Tacoma
Our region’s combination of heavy tree coverage and months of rain makes gutter maintenance critical:
- Foundation protection — Overflowing gutters dump water at your foundation, causing cracks, settling, and basement moisture.
- Roof protection — Clogged gutters cause water to back up under shingles, leading to rot and leaks.
- Siding and fascia preservation — Constant overflow rots fascia boards and stains siding.
- Landscape protection — Uncontrolled runoff erodes soil and drowns plantings.
- Ice dam prevention — Clean gutters reduce winter ice buildup that damages roofs.
Our Gutter Cleaning Process
1. Assessment. We inspect your gutter system, note problem areas, and provide upfront pricing.
2. Debris removal. All leaves, needles, moss, and sediment removed by hand — not just blown around.
3. Flushing. Gutters and downspouts flushed with water to verify flow and reveal hidden clogs.
4. Minor repairs. Loose hangers tightened, small leaks sealed, pitch corrected where needed.
5. Cleanup. All debris bagged and removed. We rinse walkways and leave your property tidy.

Gutter Cleaning FAQs
How often should gutters be cleaned in Tacoma?
At least twice a year — late fall after leaves drop, and spring. Homes under heavy tree cover may need quarterly cleaning. Call +1 (253) 298-9025 to set up a schedule.
How much does gutter cleaning cost?
It depends on home size, stories, and gutter condition. We provide upfront quotes. Most single-family homes are very affordable.
Do you repair gutters, or just clean them?
Both. We re-secure loose hangers, seal small leaks, and correct pitch issues during cleaning. For major damage, we’ll advise on next steps.
Can you install gutter guards?
We provide honest consultation on whether guards suit your home. In our experience, they help but don’t eliminate maintenance entirely.
What happens if my gutters are already overflowing?
We clean them thoroughly and inspect for damage caused by the overflow — including fascia rot and foundation issues — so you can address problems early.
