When was the last time you’ve inspected your home rain gutters? Half a year ago? Two years ago? Gutters are an essential part of your roof system. For this reason, they need to be regularly inspected and well-maintained because poorly managed gutters can severely damage your house. Moreover, regular maintenance will prevent landscape erosion and even provide pest control as standing water creates perfect breeding conditions for mosquitos and other insects.

There are several ways to keep the gutters clean. You can clean them out by hand, with a blower or a power washer. The most common approach is cleaning by hand as it does not require any special equipment. All you need to have is a ladder, a bucket to put the muck into, and a pair of heavy-duty gloves. If you don’t want to dig your hand into the gutters, opt for a blower. However, if the leaves and mud in your gutters are sticky and moist, a powerful stream of air might not be enough to remove them. Cleaning with a power washer is considered to be the best approach as a powerful water stream can remove everything in its way. Moreover, you can rest assured that nothing will get stuck in your downspouts. Always keep in mind: clean gutters are happy gutters.
