Here are gutter
cleaning tips to avoid such problems.
Safety
first
Using a ladder inappropriately may result in accidents.
Therefore, you shouldn’t climb carelessly because you might slip off the ladder
and fall or damage the gutters. Place it on stable ground and let the upper
edge lie below the gutter to avoid damaging them.
Get right
tools.
Several tools are needed to get the work done. Obtain some
gloves, garden trowel, hose pipe and two buckets. Hang the buckets on each side
of the ladder. You can place tools in one bucket and put debris in the other.
Start with
large debris
Large debris may hamper your work. Remove them first with
your hands and put them in the bucket. Use a trowel to scoop leaves and dirt.
Are there large items that are stuck in the downspout? If yes, then you need a
plumber's snake tool. If it fails to work, open the downspout and remove the
clogging material. Or if it proves difficult call a professional and he will do
it nicely.
Use a hose
Not all dirt is eliminated in the process. The trowel cannot
remove all the layer at the bottom. Connect water and start on the far end from
the downspout. If the water is not moving, the downspout must be clogged.
Disassemble and use a plumber’s snake or call an expert.Do not run away from
the problem. The more you ignore the more it worsens and you may pay a heavier
price. Make cleaning your gutters twice a year routine. If you accomplish the
tasks, you protect your roof, siding, foundation and basement from water
damage.
