There comes a time in the life of every home when you need to replace your roof and gutters with a trusted home improvement company. When you do so it is an investment that you want to take care of. For that reason, it is important to regularly clean your gutters so your investment lasts even longer.
When to Clean Your Gutters
The spring and late fall months are the best time to clean your gutters. Cleaning them in the spring gets rid of the debris that collects in the gutters over the winter months. And, cleaning them in the late fall months helps to get rid of all of the debris that collects in the gutters during the summer.
What will you find in your gutters? Everything! Leaves, sticks, dirt, and sometimes even seedlings.
Supplies You Will Need to Clean Your Gutters
Before you head out to clean your gutters there are a few supplies you are going to need. A ladder, buckets, gloves, and a hose are at the top of the list. However, one of the most important supplies you will need is someone to help you as you should never climb on the roof or high ladders without a friend spotting you below.
How to Clean Your Gutters
Although cleaning your gutters is a dreaded job, it’s really not overly complicated. You will want to scoop out all of the debris with your hands and throw it away in lawn waste disposal bags. Then, you will need to wash your gutters out with a hose to loosen any stuck debris.
One tip for cleaning your gutters is to start at the highest gutters first. That way, if the debris from the top level falls into some of the lower gutters, you will not have to go back down and clean those gutters again.
If you need help cleaning your home’s gutters you can always call a trusted professional to do the job for you. In fact, doing so is often safer and will save you time.
