A clogged gutter doesn’t fail on a normal day. It fails in the heavy downpour, water sheeting over the front edge at exactly the moment it’s supposed to be carrying it away from your foundation. Between falling leaves, seed pods, shingle grit, and the organic buildup that thrives in the moisture, troughs and downspouts pack in faster here than they would in a drier place. The trouble is that a clogged gutter backs up in exactly the heavy downpours this area gets, sending water spilling over the edge right when you need it draining.
We clean the whole gutter system, clearing the downspouts and not just the troughs, so water actually flows the way it should. While we are already up there, Holy City Hydroshine can handle a few things at once, from gutter whitening to guard installation, in the same visit.
If you would like your gutters cleared before the next big rain, we are ready to help. Call us at (843) 729-3095 to get started.
Our downspout-first process works across the common residential gutter profiles you will find on homes around here.
The standard aluminum K-style profile is the one you will see on most homes in the area, and it is squarely in our wheelhouse. Whether the debris is loose leaf litter or years of packed-in buildup, we get the full run flowing again.
We also clean the standard plastic gutter profiles found on plenty of homes. Plastic can crack under too much force, so we clean it with a gentle touch that clears the debris while treating the material with care.
Homeowners keep coming back to us for a few reasons that show up in the work itself.
Plenty of crews clear the trough, see it looking empty, and move on. We start at the downspout at the highest story and confirm the whole system actually drains before we go anywhere, dealing with the same kind of organic buildup we clear when we clean a roof up top. A gutter that looks clean but still will not drain is the exact complaint we are built to avoid.
Because we are already set up along your rooflines, we can fold in gutter whitening, gutter guards, or washing the house without a second trip out. That means one crew, one appointment, and one bill for the work up top.
We do more than empty the gutters. Brightening the exterior faces and installing guards means your gutters come away not just draining well but looking sharp and set up to stay cleaner going forward.
From your first call to the final invoice, here is how a gutter cleaning goes.
You call us or book online, and we scope the job by linear footage and the number of stories. You get a free estimate that lays out what is included, the troughs, the downspouts, and confirmation that everything drains freely, along with any add-ons like whitening or guards so you know the full picture before we begin.
Once the job is booked, you get a confirmation and reminders leading up to the appointment. Before we arrive, we confirm we will have access to all of your rooflines and downspout outlets.
We set a ladder at the highest-story downspout and clear the downspout first, since that is where clogs actually block drainage, then we work the troughs. Debris gets blown out with the pressure washer, or scooped and bagged by hand on request when it is packed in too tight to blow clear.
With the top story running clear, we move down to each lower level in turn, clearing the troughs and downspouts story by story so every section of the system carries water the way it should.
When the job is done, we walk it with you so you can see the finished result for yourself. The invoice only follows once you are satisfied with the work, because we stand behind every gutter we clean.
Gutter whitening, or brightening, removes the dark vertical streaks that run down the outside face of your gutters, the marks often called tiger striping. We offer it as an add-on while the crew is already up at the gutters for a cleaning, so it fits right into the same visit, much like spot-free exterior window cleaning while we are already up there. It is priced separately and quoted for you at the estimate, based on what your gutters actually need.
We also install gutter guards while we are already working your gutters. Guards keep most debris out and stretch the time between cleanings, so your gutters stay clearer for longer with less upkeep. Like our other add-ons, guard installation is priced separately and quoted at the estimate so you can decide what makes sense for your home.
Gutter cleaning is priced by the linear foot and by how many stories your home has, so a single-story ranch and a three-story home are not priced the same.
A couple of ways to save if you are having more than one thing done:
We back our gutter cleaning with a 90-day free-flow guarantee. If your gutters aren’t draining freely within 90 days, we come back and clear them. That covers the gutter cleaning itself — whitening and guards are separate.
A typical gutter cleaning takes one to two hours. The exact time depends on your home’s total linear footage, the number of stories, and how packed the gutters and downspouts are when we arrive.
No, you don’t need to be home. The crew works entirely from the exterior and your rooflines. If you are home, we walk the finished job with you before we invoice; if you are not, the work is completed and confirmed free-flowing the same way.
With how much leaf and organic debris Summerville homes take on through the year, clearing your gutters before the next heavy rain is one of the simpler ways to protect your home. Your estimate is free, with no obligation. Call us at (843) 729-3095 to get your free gutter cleaning quote.
