Gutter Cleaning

Gutter cleaning removes debris like leaves, twigs, and other materials that accumulate in gutters and downspouts.  This is crucial because clogged gutters prevent proper water drainage from your roof, leading to potential damage to your home's foundation, roof, and walls from water overflow and pooling.  Regular cleaning also prevents pest infestations and improves your home's curb appeal. 

Cleaning gutters can be done from the ground or a ladder, using various tools.  For ground-level cleaning, leaf blowers with attachments, pressure washers with extensions, telescopic gutter cleaners, or wet/dry vacuums are effective.  Ladder methods involve manual scooping with a trowel or hands, sometimes aided by a bucket.  Regardless of method, always prioritize safety with proper footwear, gloves, and secure ladder placement (if used).  Before starting, remove large debris by hand.  Finally, flush the gutters and downspouts with a hose to remove remaining debris. 

Rainwater carries debris into gutters, causing clogs.  Clogged gutters overflow, leading to water damage to your roof, foundation, and walls.  Cleaning gutters after rain removes accumulated debris, preventing these problems during the next rainfall.
