Gutter Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Our crews clear leaves, sediment, and litter from curb-line gutters so stormwater reaches inlets instead of ponding or backing into travel lanes. In Western Washington, heavy autumn leaf fall combined with intense rain rapidly chokes gutters and floods intersections, making regular cleaning a core wet-season defense. We collect and haul the material rather than flushing it downstream, which supports NPDES source-control obligations. Coverage and collected volume are logged for your stormwater program reporting.

Benefits

Keeps runoff flowing to inlets and prevents intersection flooding; removes leaf and sediment loads before they enter the storm system; supports NPDES source control by collecting rather than flushing debris; reduces pressure on downstream catch basins and pipes; provides coverage and volume data for compliance reporting

Our Process

1) Map gutter routes and set cleaning frequency by leaf and sediment load; 2) Deploy crews and equipment under appropriate traffic control; 3) Remove debris from the curb line and gutter pan by machine and hand; 4) Haul collected material to disposal and log route coverage

What Affects the Cost

Curb-mile length of gutters serviced; accumulation rate driven by tree canopy; cleaning frequency during peak leaf season; disposal and hauling costs; parked-vehicle obstructions and traffic control needs

Best Time of Year

Gutter cleaning demand peaks from October through December during Western Washington's heavy leaf drop and sustained rain, with maintenance passes year-round.
