The process of cleaning gutters must be undertaken at least twice a year. Annually doesn’t cut it. It needs to be done at least twice within the same calendar year. Of course, there are those human beings who feel that one need not clean their roof gutters at all. These people usually learn their lesson in the long run when the money they saved on cleaning has to be shelled out ten fold to pair for water damage induced repair work. Don’t make that kind of mistake.
So what is the safest way to go avoid cleaning gutters? First, find someone else who will do it with you. One of you should do the cleaning while the other holds the ladder to ensure that you do not fall. Next, assemble some gloves and some nails and a hammer. You may also want to use a tool belt if you have one to make carrying things up the ladder easier.
Once you have safely secured the ladder, climb to a spot where the gutter meets with the rainspouts.
Check to see if the rainspouts are sagging or covered in mildew. If it appears that they are sagging, you may want to reinforce them by nailing them together in several places. You will also want to put those gloves on and start removing the decomposing leaves from the drainspouts. You will want to continue doing this until all spouts are clean.
The last step in cleaning gutters involves spraying all lose debris and mildew into the gutters with a hose, leaving all of the gutters clean and ready to prevent water damage.
