A standard gutter cleaning includes clearing and disposal of the debris from all your gutter troughs, checking and clearing of all downspouts to ground level, and a thirty day warranty against any returnings issues or clogs within that time. We verify cleanings with photos of the finished sections.

“Gutter Cleaning” is the most commonly used term for this service, but it’s somewhat of a misnomer as the goal is to ensure the gutters are functioning properly and draining water away from your home rather than to fix any cosmetic blemishes. If you’re looking to have your gutters simply look cleaner, you may wish to search for “gutter brightening” instead.

Most of our clients in the greater Indianapolis area pay between $109 - $300 for a full gutter cleaning.

We can give your exact price with no obligation and no visit required; we use online imagery to prepare our quotes. The price we quote never changes at the door. It takes just a few seconds to request a quote!

Pricing is based on multiple factors including size, ease of access, and debris types expected.

For clarity, when we refer to “downspouts” we mean the metal tubes that connect to the gutter and channel water to the ground. Anything beyond the end of the metal downspout is an accessory and not necessarily serviced as part of the gutter cleaning — we do offer pressure jetting of these extensions when needed.

We check all downspouts and ensure clearance to ground level. The first test after visual inspection is to drop a large marble into the opening and ensure it can make it through. If it doesn’t, the best approach is generally to disassemble the downspout and physically clear the clog. This work is included as part of a standard cleaning.

We are often asked whether we “flush” downspouts, and the short answer is no, because it doesn’t work well. While we do use hoses and water for certain types of debris, water alone usually isn’t strong enough to clear clogs inside — or the rain would have cleared it out.

Yes, we take the vast majority of debris with us. We say majority because it’s inevitable that some small bits of debris will break apart and float away, particularly dry tree litter, and fine dirt and dust is obviously too small to be picked up and is instead blown or rinsed away. We take great care to clean any areas we’ve worked over, however, and anything substantial is bagged and removed.

One exception when applicable are larger tree limbs or branches found on roofs; we do our best to remove these as a courtesy when safe to do so, but we don’t always have the room to carry these off with us.

When we finish an appointment and email your bill, we’ll attach a collage of photos showing your gutters and verifying work was completed. Typically we send 9-18 shots, depending on the size of the home. We aim to provide shots of virtually all cleaned sections so you can see for yourself they are finished, and we prioritize photos the highest and most difficult.

We will also take photos of some of the worst clogs before cleaning for comparison, but it’s important to know we prioritize photos of finished sections rather than giving before photos of every section. This is simply to keep the number of photos we need to take, sort, deliver, and for you to view at a manageable level. For this same reason, we often skip taking photos of sections you can clearly see yourself from a window.

You may have downspouts that attach to an additional pipe that continues underground and drains some distance away. We are one of the few companies that do offer pressure jetting of buried downspout extensions as an additional service when needed, but it is not automatically included in a standard gutter cleaning because it requires a completely separate process and specialized equipment to do so.

Just because you have these extensions does NOT always mean they need any service, however. The signs of a clogged extension are missing drain caps (IE, you have no idea where they go) or water overflowing at the bottom of the downspout rather than over the top of the gutter.

If you’re not sure you need this, don’t worry about it — focus on the gutters first, and if we spot a clear issue with the extensions we’ll let you know about them. You can learn more about this process under the Drain Jetting FAQs
