Step-by-Step Guide to Gutter Cleanouts with Softwash
At Legacy Softwash, we provide professional gutter cleanout services to keep your gutters flowing freely and prevent costly water damage. Our thorough process ensures that all debris, dirt, and buildup are removed safely and efficiently. Here’s how we get the job done:
​
Step 1: Initial Inspection and Assessment
We begin by inspecting your gutter system to assess the level of debris buildup and identify any problem areas, such as clogs or damage. This step helps us determine the best cleaning approach and ensures that we address all potential issues.
​
Step 2: Safety Precautions and Setup
Safety is our top priority. We use secure ladders, fall protection equipment, and ensure that all tools are safely positioned before starting the cleaning process. We also protect your landscaping and property from any potential mess.
​
Step 3: Debris Removal
We start by manually removing large debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt from the gutters. Using specialized tools and hand removal techniques, we clear out the bulk of the buildup to restore proper water flow.
​
Step 4: Flushing the Gutters and Downspouts
Once the large debris is cleared, we use low-pressure water to flush out any remaining dirt, sludge, or small particles. This step ensures that the gutters and downspouts are completely clear and functional. We check for any signs of blockage or improper drainage during this process.
​
Step 5: Softwash Treatment (If Needed)
For gutters with mold, mildew, or staining, we apply a gentle, eco-friendly softwash solution to clean and sanitize the surfaces. This helps remove unsightly discoloration while protecting the integrity of your gutter system.
​
Step 6: Downspout Inspection and Unclogging
We ensure that all downspouts are thoroughly inspected and flushed to verify proper water flow. If a clog is detected, we carefully remove it to restore full drainage capacity.
​
Step 7: Final Inspection and Clean-Up
After cleaning, we conduct a final inspection to make sure the gutters and downspouts are completely clear and functioning properly. We also clean up any debris around your property to leave the area spotless.
​
Step 8: Maintenance Recommendations
To keep your gutters performing at their best, we provide maintenance tips and recommend a regular cleaning schedule. Routine gutter cleanouts help prevent water damage, roof leaks, and foundation issues caused by clogged gutters.
