Gutter Cleaning & Brightening
Clear clogged gutters and remove the black tiger stripes that form on gutter exteriors — protecting your home from water damage.
About Our Gutter Cleaning Service
Clogged gutters are one of the leading causes of water damage, foundation issues, and basement flooding. BK Pressure Washing provides thorough gutter cleaning to keep water flowing freely away from your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should gutters be cleaned?
We recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year — once in late spring and once in late fall after leaves have dropped. Homes with many trees nearby may need more frequent cleaning.
What are the black streaks on my gutters?
Those are caused by a combination of oxidation from the aluminum and algae/mold growth. Our gutter brightening service removes them completely.
Do you check for gutter damage?
Yes — we inspect gutters for sagging, leaks, and improper pitch while we clean and will let you know if we find any issues.
