Professional Gutter Cleaning: Protect Your Home Foundation
Clogged gutters are more than just an eyesore—they are a threat to your home’s structural integrity. At Driftless Softwash & Pressure Wash, we provide thorough, safe, and reliable gutter cleaning services to keep your water flowing freely and your home protected.
Why Is Gutter Cleaning Important?
Your gutters control the flow of rainwater to protect your roof, walls, and landscape. When they are clogged with leaves, sticks, and debris, that water has nowhere to go. This can lead to serious issues, especially in our Minnesota and Wisconsin climate:
Foundation Damage: Overflowing water pools around your foundation, which can cause cracks and basement flooding.
Ice Dams: In winter, clogged gutters prevent snowmelt from draining. This water refreezes at the roof edge, forcing ice under your shingles and causing leaks inside your home.
Pest Infestations: Wet, rotting leaves are the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, ants, and rodents.
How Expensive Is Gutter Cleaning?
“How much does it cost to clean my gutters?” is a common question. Pricing is based on the safety requirements and the amount of debris involved.
Key Price Factors:
Linear Footage: The total length of gutters around your home.
Height/Accessibility: A single-story ranch is easier and safer to access than a steep two-story home.
Debris Level: Gutters that haven’t been cleaned in years may require more time to clear downspouts.

How Long Does Gutter Cleaning Take?
We respect your time and property. Our team uses professional stabilizers and safety gear to get the job done efficiently without damaging your siding or landscaping.
Average Service Time: Most residential gutter cleaning jobs are completed in 1 to 2 hours.
The Process: We hand-remove the debris, bag it for disposal (so we don’t leave a mess in your yard), and flush the downspouts with water to ensure they are flowing 100% correctly.
You do not need to be home for the service, provided we have access to the yard and a water spigot.
When Should I Clean My Gutters?
In the Driftless region, we recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year:
Late Spring: To clear out “helicopters” (maple seeds), blossoms, and spring debris.
Late Fall: To remove fallen leaves before the snow hits (crucial for preventing ice dams).
