Gutter Cleaning in Charleston, SC

When you choose us for your gutter cleaning in Charleston, SC, you get access to our highly-rated local pros. Our professional gutter cleaning service follows the same basic steps as a DIY job, with a few key differences.

First, our professional gutter cleaners have much more experience, allowing them to complete the job more quickly and efficiently than you would be able to do yourself. Second, our handyman team has all the specialized tools and equipment to get the job done more thoroughly and faster. Some of the basic and specialized tools your handyman expert may use for the job include:

• Basic step ladder
• Extension ladder
• Ladder stabilizer
• Extension pole
• Scraper
• 5-gallon buckets
• Leaf blower
• A pressure washer with a gutter attachment

Sometimes, our customers will request that we clean the exterior of their troughs as well. If you have a problem with algae growth, we may be able to apply a cleaning solution to remove this growth. Depending on the state of your troughs and downspout, your handyman may also be able to help with any gutter repairs you need.

With all the tools in hand, your handyman will set off in a company vehicle and arrive at your property on time. Though every gutter cleaning service is slightly different, depending on how dirty your troughs are and the size of your home, you can expect your professional gutter cleaning service to follow these general steps:

1. Cleaning out downspouts: Your gutter downspouts can get clogged, too. To clear these out, your handyman will remove them from the side of your home and dislodge the debris.
2. Removal of large debris: Depending on your roof system, your handyman will either walk on the roof to clean out your troughs or use an extension ladder. From the roof, they’ll be able to use a leaf blower to remove all of the loose leafy debris. If they’re unable to walk on the roof, they’ll use a scraper on an extension pole to dislodge the debris. This debris will be placed into a bucket hanging off the side of the ladder and later transferred into a garbage bag.
3. Removal of small debris: With large debris removed by a leaf blower or scraper, your handyman may clean out your troughs more thoroughly with a power washer with a gutter cleaning nozzle, or a regular garden hose. This will remove packed dirt and any remaining small debris.
4. Exterior cleaning: At the customer’s request, the outside of your troughs may be cleaned to improve their curb appeal. If you’ve requested our gutter repair service as well, we’ll move on to the repair process after this step is complete.
5. Test and cleanup: Before leaving, your handyman expert will run water through your troughs and downspout to ensure that everything is flowing smoothly and there are no areas of damage that are affecting the system’s functionality. They’ll also take the time to thoroughly clean up after themselves, ensuring that your yard is just as clean as they found it.

By leaving this dirty job to us, you can spend more time doing the things you love. Don’t let your desire for clean gutters get in the way of your child’s weekend baseball game!

Clogged troughs and downspouts are very common in Charleston. The warm, humid environment encourages plant life of all types to grow, and most properties in the city are surrounded by greenery. It doesn’t take much wind and rain to dislodge leaves from all this lush vegetation. While some land on the ground, plenty also lands on your roof. During even light rain, water carries these leaves down the side of your roof and into your troughs.

If these leaves are allowed to sit in your troughs, they’ll begin to decompose, becoming sticky and eventually sludgy. Additional debris that falls into your troughs gets caught in the deteriorating debris. Over time, a big clog will form and prevent water from flowing freely through your troughs and into your downspouts. The only way to prevent a big clog from forming is to ensure that you are regularly cleaning your troughs out—or booking our service for gutter cleaning in Charleston, SC.
