Yes, you read that correctly-- we at Johnny Tsunami Wash are offering our first blog promotion for our faithful followers!
Fall is officially here in Western Washington and it's in full force! Unfortunately, all those pretty changing leaves can clog gutters and that fall rain can end up causing some pretty costly damage!
For some reason, the requests for roof and gutter cleanings tend to drop once fall rolls around. People think that once the rains start, it's like washing your car-- it's gonna get wet anyway, what's the point of having it cleaned again?
We're here to tell you this is a terrible misconception! It's more important this season than ever to make sure your home stays clean and maintained because this is the time of year gutters get cloggy and roofs get leaky!
And just to show you how important this is, we are offering a special Fall gutter and roof cleaning DISCOUNT: 10% off of any roof or gutter cleaning until the end of November! Johnny already offers some of the lowest prices in town so make sure you take advantage and get your house primed for fall.
To receive your discount and a free estimate, call (360) 440-6301 and mention you read it on the blog. Johnny'll know what it means.

Fall Rain Brings Clogged Drains
I've talked about gutters before and how important it is that they're clean and functional but with the advent of the Washington rainy season (A.K.A. "fall, winter and spring), I thought I would reiterate just how important it is to have clean gutters.
Do you know if your gutters are clean? Most people can't tell until they have small gardens growing in them. What you might not be seeing could be the beginnings of a clogged gutter. Leaves and debris settle on the bottoms and destroy the functionality of your gutters.
So what, you ask? Allow me to explain.
What functioning gutters do: Sweep the rainwater away from the foundation of the house.
What non-functioning gutters do: Clogged gutters can overflow and damage your landscaping and if it gets too full, can actually rip off of your house, causing costly repairs. During the winter time, that damage can be even more detrimental, as the standing water can freeze, fill up your gutters, reach your roof and actually get under it. Once it starts to melt, considerable damage is done to your floors, ceilings, furnishings, you name it. And we all know that with wet homes comes mold, so you'll have that to deal with on top of everything else. If you have wooden gutters, standing water can cause wood rot. If left untreated, this could spread to surrounding areas.
Obviously, the cons of not cleaning your gutters can be pretty costly and it's such a simple fix. Johnny Tsunami has gutter maintenance programs to ensure those gutters stay clean and functioning year-round. They're already affordably priced and the money it will potentially save you is no small sum.
Don't let your holiday season be ruined by faulty gutter repairs. Check out our Johnny Tsunami Wash gutter page and see how Johnny can help you.
GUTTERS, GUTTERS, GUTTERS-- JOHNNY TSUNAMI WASH
In other news, where in Washington has Johnny been this past week? He did a roof cleaning on a cedar shake roof in Silverdale along with some gutter cleanings, and he's also busy in Kingston and Seattle. Hopefully, we'll have some pictures to treat you with later this week.

Word of the Week
Well, it's the final blog of the week, so I thought I would give you a "word of the week" blog post.
And today's word of the week is:
1. korker (noun): the footwear used by a professional roof cleaner; may come with attachable cleats or foam bottoms.
Here is a picture from korkers.com:
I figured I couldn't call them "grippy shoes" forever so I had Johnny explain a little more about them. The bottoms are interchangeable depending on the type of roof you're cleaning, so for say a certain Silverdale cedar shake roof, Johnny uses the cleat bottoms to grip the roof without damaging it. For a slick metal roof, Johnny uses the attachable foam inserts so he doesn't slide around on wet algae. You can also use them for fishing so you don't slide around on slippery rocks or for projects involving ice. Interesting stuff.
Also interesting, the word "corker" with a "c" means "an excellent or astonishing person or thing" according to Wikipedia. So I guess we could say Johnny is a corker in korkers.
And now you've learned two new words to boot. Yes, I just made a shoe pun.

It's Always Sunny in Silverdale
...Okay. That's not exactly true. But it was a smoking 87 degrees today and Johnny had a roof cleaning on a cedar shake roof in sunny Silverdale.
To explain a little bit about this particular cedar shake roof and what cedar shake roofs are (because until I talked to Johnny, I had no idea), they are basically just wooden (that's the "cedar" part) roofs. Now this particular roof is incredibly steep and the mold and moss on that cedar shake make the roof very slippery so it can be dangerous to clean this type of roof yourself. Johnny equips himself with all sorts of safety equipment before embarking on a job such as this one, with special cleated shoes to grip the roof without damaging it and a harness and rope.
Do-it-yourself projects are great. But some projects, such as the ones that can endanger your life (or your roof) should be left to the professionals. This is one project we don't recommend you "try at home". At least not without the help of a licensed, bonded professional with super grippy shoes. Did I mention Johnny has all that?
