Gutter Cleaning and Brightening in Lee's Summit, MO
Interior debris cleared so water flows, plus exterior brightening that removes the black oxidation stripes on the gutter face.
Gutters have two separate problems, and most companies only solve one. The inside fills with shingle grit, leaves, seed pods, and nesting material until water overflows the back edge and runs down the fascia. The outside develops black vertical streaks — tiger striping — from oxidized aluminum and road film that no amount of rain will wash away. Rescue Wash handles both.
Interior cleaning means the troughs get cleared of debris, the downspouts get flushed until they run free, and the system gets a flow test so we can tell you if there is a slope problem, a loose hanger, or a separated seam. Debris is bagged and removed from the property rather than raked into your landscaping beds.
Exterior brightening is a specialized chemical process, not a pressure job. Tiger stripes are a bonded oxidation layer on the aluminum finish, and pressure will not touch them. We apply a purpose-made gutter brightener, let it dwell, agitate the surface with a soft brush, and rinse. White gutters go back to actually reading as white, which is usually the difference between a roofline that looks maintained and one that does not.
Clogged gutters are not a cosmetic issue in this climate. Overflow saturates the soil at the foundation, rots fascia board and soffit, freezes into ice dams along the eave in winter, and gives carpenter ants and wasps a permanent wet place to live. The repair costs vastly exceed the cost of clearing the system on a regular schedule.
Most Lee's Summit properties need gutters cleared twice a year — late spring after the seed drop and late fall after the leaves are down — and brightening far less often. Call (816) 797-5900 or request a free estimate and tell us the roofline and whether the home is one or two stories.
