Copper gutters are far more expensive than any other type of gutter. Adding to the expense is the fact that all of the nails and connectors you use must be made from copper as well. The second situation is dry gutter cleaning. In this case, the process is less cumbersome because the content is dry. A bucket without a bottom is fastened with a bag. This bottomless bucket is used to scoop out the dry debris. That means that you will need to have copper gutters and downspouts, along with all copper components, which can lead to a high cost in terms of materials needed. Plus, if you do need repairs made you can expect to pay more for the repairs since copper replacements parts will cost you more.

Aside from gutter cleaning, another important task that is usually referred to professionals is the downspout cleaning. The servicemen will usually check your downspouts for blockages. This is a standard procedure when hiring a professional service. If there is a blockage, one needs to get rid of this immediately. Copper gutters need to be installed by a craftsman that is skilled in working with copper.

While you should never try to install your own rain gutters and downspouts, when it comes to copper this is even more important. To get rid of the blockage in the downspout, a hose is used using high pressure. The hose is sealed with a rag at the downspout's mouth to allow the release of heavy water flow.
