    How to Clean your Gutters and Downspouts

    You’ve decided to clean your gutters and downspouts, one major preventive solution is definitely installing a gutter guard. It stops all debris from entering the channel and going down the eavestroughs. It’s a very inexpensive way that a weekend warrior can do on his spare time, it requires little tools, a simple drill, and the material can easily be purchased at Home Depot or other hardware stores.

           Once your gutters are cleaned, next step is to unclog your downspouts. Simply insert your hose aiming upward from the bottom and if there was debris it should be coming out slowly. Worst case scenario, disconnect from the rain gutter and clear with a long stick. You may also rent a gutter cleaning kit and use it from the ground, it has a long reach so it doesn’t require a ladder or possibly buy a kit that attaches to your shop-vac. It may not be as performant. 

    A more efficient was is do get up the ladder, make sure it’s solidly grounded on its small rests, have a spotter, and scoop all the leaves, moss and other debris and wash up with the hose. Dress with a long sleeve and watch for the curled aluminum on the corners of those gutters, they can make a nasty cut on your skin. Overall, it’s a fairly simple task that should be perform at least every other year in the spring especially if you are leaving near tall trees as we have in British Columbia. Skipping years can lead to leaks in the foundation and ice dams in the winter damaging your gutter and roof.
