Why It Matters
Why Professional Gutter Cleaning Matters
Your gutters are your home's first line of defense against water damage. When they get clogged with leaves, twigs, and debris, the consequences can be expensive. Professional gutter cleaning in Evansville protects your home and saves you thousands in potential repairs.
Foundation Protection
Clogged gutters cause water to overflow and pool around your foundation. Over time, this leads to cracks, settling, and costly structural repairs. Regular gutter cleaning keeps water flowing away from your home.
Prevent Water Damage
When gutters overflow, water seeps behind siding, damages fascia boards, and can leak into your attic or walls. Professional cleaning prevents interior and exterior water damage before it starts.
Eliminate Pest Habitats
Standing water in clogged gutters is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and decomposing leaves attract insects, birds, and rodents. Clean gutters eliminate these pest-friendly environments.
Prevent Ice Dams
In Indiana winters, clogged gutters trap water that freezes into ice dams. These dams force water under your shingles, causing roof leaks and interior damage. Fall gutter cleaning is essential.
Protect Your Landscaping
Overflowing gutters dump sheets of water onto flower beds, shrubs, and mulch below. This erodes soil, drowns plants, and creates muddy trenches along your home's perimeter.
Save Money Long-Term
A professional gutter cleaning costs a fraction of what foundation repair, roof damage, or mold remediation would run. It is one of the most cost-effective forms of home maintenance you can invest in.
Our Process
Our Gutter Cleaning Process
Every gutter cleaning job we perform in the Evansville area follows a proven four-step process. We do not cut corners, and we never leave a mess behind.
Full System Inspection
We begin by walking the perimeter of your home and inspecting your entire gutter system. We look for sagging sections, loose brackets, damaged seams, and areas of heavy buildup. This inspection lets us identify any problems before we start cleaning, so there are no surprises.
Hand Debris Removal
We remove all leaves, twigs, shingle grit, seed pods, and packed debris from your gutters by hand. This careful approach ensures we get everything out without damaging the gutter troughs or your roofing material. We bag all debris and haul it away for you.
Downspout Clearing & Flush
Clogged downspouts are the number one cause of gutter overflow. We flush every downspout with water to verify full flow, and clear any blockages we find. We also check that downspout extensions are directing water safely away from your foundation.
Final Inspection & Cleanup
After cleaning, we run water through the entire gutter system to confirm everything drains properly. We inspect for any leaks or damage discovered during cleaning, clean up all debris from your yard, and walk you through our findings.
What We Offer
Our Gutter Services
Thompson's Pressure Washing offers a complete range of gutter services for homeowners in Evansville and the surrounding Tri-State communities. Whether your gutters need a routine cleanout or a full restoration, we have you covered.
Gutter Debris Removal
Our core gutter cleaning service covers everything most homeowners need. We thoroughly remove all accumulated debris from your gutters, including leaves, pine needles, twigs, shingle granules, and the compacted sludge that builds up over seasons of neglect. The Evansville area's mix of deciduous and evergreen trees means gutters can fill up fast, especially in the fall. We hand-clean every inch of your gutter troughs to ensure nothing is left behind that could cause a blockage. All debris is bagged and removed from your property at no extra charge.
Downspout Clearing
A clean gutter trough does not help much if your downspouts are blocked. Downspout clogs are one of the most common issues we see during gutter cleaning in Evansville homes, and they are also one of the most damaging. When downspouts are plugged, water backs up into the gutter system and overflows at the weakest points, often right against the fascia and soffit. We flush every downspout from top to bottom, clear any obstructions, and confirm strong water flow through the entire drainage path. We also check underground extensions and splash blocks where applicable to make sure water is being directed well away from your home's foundation.
Exterior Gutter Brightening
Have you noticed dark streaks running down the outside of your gutters? That staining, commonly called tiger striping, is caused by a chemical reaction between the aluminum and residue from your roofing materials. It does not wash off with a garden hose. Our gutter brightening service uses a specialized cleaning solution and soft wash technique to safely remove those dark streaks and restore your gutters to their original color. This service pairs perfectly with our house washing for a complete exterior refresh. Clean gutters on the outside make a noticeable difference in your home's overall curb appeal.
Gutter Guard Inspection
If you have gutter guards installed, you might think your gutters never need attention. While guards do reduce the amount of debris that enters your gutter system, they are not maintenance-free. Small particles like shingle grit, pine pollen, and tiny seeds still get past most guard systems. Over time, this fine debris accumulates and restricts water flow. We inspect and clean gutter guard systems, removing any buildup on top of or underneath the guards. We also check for guard sections that have shifted, lifted, or become damaged, and let you know if any repairs are needed. Annual inspection of guarded gutters is a smart investment to make sure they are performing as intended.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Gutter Cleaning
Not sure if your gutters need attention? Here are the most common signs that it is time to schedule a professional gutter cleaning for your Evansville home.
- Water overflowing during rain: If you see water spilling over the edges of your gutters during a storm, they are almost certainly clogged. Even a partial blockage can cause overflow during heavy Indiana downpours.
- Plants growing in your gutters: Seedlings, weeds, or grass sprouting from your gutters mean there is enough decomposed organic matter up there to support plant life. That level of buildup needs to be addressed immediately.
- Sagging or pulling away from the house: Gutters weighed down by wet, packed debris will start to sag and pull away from the fascia. This puts stress on the brackets and can cause permanent damage to the gutter system.
- Staining on siding or exterior walls: Dark stains or streaks running down your siding below the gutters indicate chronic overflow. This is also a sign that water may be getting behind the siding and causing hidden damage.
- Pooling water around the foundation: If you notice puddles forming close to your foundation after it rains, your gutters and downspouts are likely not directing water away from the house as they should.
- Birds, insects, or pests around the roofline: Animals are attracted to the damp, sheltered environment that clogged gutters provide. Nesting birds, wasps, and mosquitoes are all signs your gutters need cleaning.
- It has been more than six months since your last cleaning: Even if you do not see visible problems, gutters in the Evansville area should be cleaned at least twice a year. The region's heavy tree coverage and seasonal storms demand regular maintenance.
- Dark streaks on the outside of gutters: Tiger striping on your gutter exteriors is a cosmetic issue, but it signals that your gutters have not had professional attention in a while. Our gutter brightening service takes care of this.
If you notice any of these warning signs, do not wait for the problem to get worse. Call Thompson's Pressure Washing at (618) 384-8166 for a free gutter cleaning estimate. Catching issues early saves you money and protects your home from serious water damage.

FAQ
Gutter Cleaning Questions & Answers
How often should I get my gutters cleaned in Evansville?
We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year in the Evansville area -- once in late spring after tree pollen and seed pods have fallen, and again in late fall after leaves have dropped. Homes surrounded by mature trees, especially oaks and pines, may need cleaning three or four times per year. Regular cleanings are far less expensive than dealing with the water damage that clogged gutters cause.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Evansville, IN?
Gutter cleaning pricing depends on your home's size, roof height, the linear footage of gutters, and the amount of debris buildup. Thompson's Pressure Washing provides free, no-obligation estimates for every gutter cleaning job. We will give you an honest price upfront with no hidden fees. Call (618) 384-8166 for your personalized quote.
Do you clean the outside of gutters too?
Yes. Our gutter brightening service removes the dark streaks, commonly known as tiger striping, that form on the exterior of gutters over time. We use a specialized cleaning solution that restores gutters to their original appearance without damaging the finish. Many customers pair gutter brightening with our house washing service for a complete exterior makeover.
Can clogged gutters really damage my home?
Absolutely. Clogged gutters cause water to overflow and pool around your foundation, leading to basement flooding, foundation cracks, soil erosion, and landscape damage. Water backing up under your roof can rot fascia boards, damage soffits, and lead to mold growth inside your walls. Standing water in gutters also attracts mosquitoes and other pests. In winter, clogged gutters contribute to ice dams that can cause major roof leaks.
Do I need gutter cleaning if I have gutter guards?
Yes, gutter guards reduce debris buildup but do not eliminate it entirely. Small particles like shingle grit, pine needles, and seed pods can still get through or accumulate on top of the guards. We recommend having guarded gutters inspected and cleaned at least once a year to make sure everything is draining properly.
What happens during a gutter cleaning service?
We start with a full inspection of your gutter system and downspouts. Then we hand-remove all debris from the gutters, flush downspouts to ensure proper flow, check for any damage or sagging sections, and clean up all debris from around your home. We can also brighten the exterior of the gutters upon request. The entire process typically takes one to two hours for an average-sized home.
Are you insured for gutter cleaning work?
Yes. Thompson's Pressure Washing carries full liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind while we work on your property. We follow strict safety protocols when working at height, and your home and landscaping are fully protected during every job.
