Gutter Cleaning

The abundant rainfall in the Fraser Valley means your gutters work overtime, directing water away from your property. When clogged with leaves, pine needles, and debris, they can overflow, causing serious structural issues. Our Abbotsford gutter cleaning service includes complete debris removal, downspout clearing, and a thorough system inspection to identify potential problems before they become costly repairs. We carefully bag and remove all gutter contents, leaving your property clean and protected.

Beyond being unsightly, moss creates a serious threat to your roofing by trapping moisture against the surface and gradually lifting shingles.

FAQ

What is Soft Wash and How is it Different from Pressure Washing in Abbotsford?

Soft wash is a cleaning method that uses specialized biodegradable cleaning solutions applied at low pressure (40-500 PSI), while traditional pressure washing in Abbotsford relies on high water pressure (1,500-4,000+ PSI). The soft wash approach eliminates contaminants at their source through chemical reaction rather than blasting them away with force. This makes soft wash safer for delicate surfaces, such as asphalt shingles, cedar siding, and vinyl, which high-pressure methods can damage. Soft wash also provides longer-lasting results because it kills organic growth at the root level rather than simply removing the visible portions.

What Time of Year is Best for Exterior House Washing in Abbotsford?

Spring and early summer are generally ideal times for house and roof washing in Abbotsford, as this allows you to remove winter grime and prepare your home for the outdoor living season. Many Abbotsford homeowners also prefer fall house and gutter cleaning in Abbotsford, as it removes summer buildup and falling leaves, and prepares surfaces for winter. However, our advanced soft wash techniques can be effectively performed throughout most of the year, weather permitting. We can provide recommendations based on your property’s conditions and your maintenance goals.

Will Your Cleaning Solutions Harm My Plants and Landscaping?

We take precautions to protect your landscaping during all cleaning processes. Our approach includes pre-wetting plants before application, using plant-friendly cleaning formulations, and thoroughly rinsing all vegetation after the cleaning is complete. For especially sensitive plants or gardens, we employ additional protective measures, such as temporary coverings, during the cleaning process.

Do You Provide Commercial Soft Wash Services in Abbotsford?

Yes, we offer comprehensive soft wash services for commercial properties throughout Abbotsford. Our commercial clients include retail locations, office buildings, apartment complexes, hotels, restaurants, and industrial facilities. Our team is equipped to handle larger commercial projects efficiently while maintaining the same attention to detail we bring to residential work.

What Should I Do to Prepare My Abbotsford Property Before Your Arrival?

Preparing for our visit is simple. Please ensure exterior water taps are functioning and accessible. Move vehicles from driveways or parking areas that need cleaning. Secure or remove loose items from areas to be cleaned, including patio furniture, decorations, and potted plants. Close all windows and doors before exterior cleaning begins. If you have specific concerns about certain plants or exterior features, please bring them to our attention before we begin.

Are Your Cleaning Products Environmentally Friendly?

Yes, we use environmentally responsible cleaning products in all our soft wash services. Our solutions are biodegradable and break down naturally after application, minimizing impact on the surrounding ecosystem. Our application systems are designed to minimize runoff and control overspray, further reducing environmental impact.

Do You Offer Any Guarantees on Your Soft Wash Abbotsford Services?

Absolutely. We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If any discolouration or microbial growth returns to the area we have soft-washed within one year of our treatment, we’ll provide one complimentary clean. If any staining returns within five years of our treatment, we will clean it again at a prorated price.

How Can I Maintain My Property Between Cleanings?

For roofs, trim overhanging branches to reduce debris and moss growth. Keep gutters clear of major debris to prevent overflow and water damage. Rinse exterior windows periodically with plain water to remove surface dust. For siding, a light rinse with a garden hose can remove fresh pollen and dust before it adheres. Watch for early signs of organic growth and contact us for treatment before it becomes extensive. We can provide customized maintenance recommendations for your property.
