Clean Out Rain Gutters

In a downpour a clogged roof gutter sends a cascade of water down the side of your house making canyons of your flowerbeds and saturating your foundation.

Clean out rain gutters. Cleaning is typically easiest when the weather and the debris have had a few days to dry out but that s not always an option and sometimes you ll have to deal with wet leaves. Check them before and after any heavy rain showers to make sure your gutters are still clear. Start your gutter cleaning task near the downspout and work toward the closed end. This year my husband casually mentioned that he wondered if he could use our new to us pressure washer to clean the gutters.

When possible avoid cleaning gutters after a rain. Allowing a few dry days before cleaning your gutters will allow the debris to dry out making the chore much easier. Once you get the hang of it gutter cleaning isn t that bad and you ll feel great when it s done. Once the gutters are clear repair any sagging metal.

You can do this by mounting a gutter hanger.
