Fall is here and that means that leaves are starting to change color. While falling leaves are beautiful to look at, they can also wreak havoc on your rain gutters by clogging them. Additionally, homeowners don't often think about their rain gutters, so your gutters may end up being neglected during this time of year.
The problem with clogged gutters is that they can cause a host of problems including rodents, roof damage, and interior leaks. To avoid all of these problems this fall, look at a few reasons you should clean out your gutters and how you can get the job done in just one day. Take a closer look.
If your gutters are clogged with too many leaves or sticks, you may end up spending thousands of dollars on roof repair. But why?
Cleaning out your gutters is actually fairly easy. To start out, gather the following supplies:
To start out, lean your ladder securely against your house so that you have access to your gutters. To make sure that your ladder is stable, plant the two bottom feet sturdily into the ground. Then, climb the first two steps to make sure that it's not wobbly. If it's secure, then you should be good to go. If it's still wobbly, you'll need to find some way of securing it.
After your gloves are on and you have climbed your ladder, it's time to get to work. To start out, you can use your small hand trowel to scoop out any debris from inside your gutters. If the downspouts on your gutters are clogged, you may need to clean out the top of the gutters first and then use a hose to clean out the downspouts.
If you are worried about the possibility of falling when you are on top of your ladder, then you may want to have them professionally cleaned.
One of the best ways to keep your gutters as clean as possible is to place gutter shields on top of them. Gutter shields essentially cover the tops of your gutters so that the only thing that can get into your gutters is water, which is exactly what you want.
