Though spring is not yet in the air, it’s approaching fast. Is your rain gutter ready? The primary function of your gutter system is to direct rain away from your home and its foundation so it’s essential that it be in top form to handle the upcoming rainy season. Experts say that gutters should be cleaned twice a year and the best times to do this are early spring and fall. Gutter cleaning helps avoid costly repairs and roof damage. 5 Steps to a Clean Rain Gutter - Begin by scooping out loose leaves, twigs, mud, pine cones, and any other debris that can clog up the system.
- Pay special attention to clearing out the drain spout to release any water build up from past rainstorms.
- Use a hose and spray the gutter and downspout to remove stubborn dirt and mud. The hose must be able to apply a lot of pressure in order to properly push any debris out of your gutter system.
- As a last resort, you may need to dissemble the system completely to clean hard to reach areas and remove clogs.
- Once thoroughly rinsed from top to bottom the process is complete.
Danger Alert! Rain gutter cleaning involves getting up on the roof where falls from faulty ladders or footing can occur. The advice of experts is to hire a rain gutter technician to avoid injuries. Most companies provide gutter cleaning and maintenance for a low cost. They have special telescoping wands and flexible tools that make cleaning hard to reach areas a cinch! Looking for Utah Rain Gutter Specialist to protect your house from water damage, you need to contact your local or Utah Rain Gutter Company for assistance.
