Water trapped in gutters can cause major damage to your roof and
walls. Maintaining clean gutters helps keep your home in good shape. Follow a
few simple rules of thumb to keep your gutters free of debris.
- Most
gutter systems should be cleaned 3-4 times a year with each season.
- You
can use a bucket but your best bet is to lay down plastic ( garbage bags
or a tarp). This way you can throw the waste down and easily remove upon
completion.
- Gain access to the roof with a ladder. Don't lean the ladder
against a downspout or gutter, which can easily bend or break.
- Using
gloves, pull debris out and throw onto plastic, dispose.
- Use
your average garden hose to clean out downspouts by placing the running
hose down inside the gutter.
The
best way to relieve yourself of routinely cleaning the gutters is to purchase
Gutter Guards or Gutter Screens.
