Gutter Brightening for a Complete Gutter Cleaning Service in Ann Arbor

Rainwater running over the sides of gutters can also cause bothersome “tiger stripes,” or dark, unsightly stains on the outside of gutter walls. This discoloration is also often caused by dirt, soot, mud, granules from roofing shingles, and acid rain residue that cling to a home’s exterior through an electrostatic charge.

Soft wash cleaning of the outside of the home’s gutters with a brush, or gutter brightening, will remove these ugly stains. We apply the brush with specialty solvents and detergents that gently but thoroughly dissolve all that grit and grime, no matter how thick.

The low pressure used for this soft gutter cleaning service won’t chip or peel exterior paint or cause those gutters to come loose from their connectors. Our professionals will preserve the home’s appearance and enhance its curb appeal while protecting the house from damage caused by unsightly residue!

Cleaning the undersides of a home’s gutters and their connected downspouts with a garden hose is typically ineffective, and the detergents and solvents you purchase at a home improvement store can also be too weak to remove the debris that gets lodged underneath gutters and along downspouts. Pressure washing services can also be too powerful for cleaning the undersides of gutters or areas behind downspouts.

Pressure washing is especially dangerous for older houses with gutters that have loose or rusted connectors and seams, or rust damage along the underside of the gutters or outside of the downspouts. Using too much pressure during a power washing can loosen those connectors and cause the gutters to pull away from the home, or cause cracked areas and rusted holes to become even larger.

Soft wash systems gently but thoroughly dissolve and then wash away damaging mud and silt, soot from vehicle traffic or an outdoor barbecue or fireplace, and other debris that damage the undersides of your home’s gutters and cling to it downspouts throughout the years. Our soft wash services are very effective at removing this buildup without loosening those gutters or their connectors, or causing downspouts to pull away from the home!
