When neglected, your gutters will get clogged and all that standing water will cause water stains and roof leaks. That\u2019s why it&#8217;s important to know how to clean your gutters, and how it&#8217;s crucial for roof maintenance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know no one wants to do it, but cleaning your gutters is much easier than you think. To avoid costly gutter repairs, a gutter system should be cleaned at least once a year\u2014ideally during the fall or spring. However, when you have several overhanging branches, it\u2019s recommended to have your gutters cleaned twice a year. Here\u2019s how to clean your gutters in just 4 steps.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>1. Preparation<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you tackle your gutters, make sure you have everything you need to do so. To assist with this, we\u2019ve prepared a brief list of items you\u2019ll need to clean your gutters. This includes:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sturdy ladder<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work clothes (a long sleeve shirt and some old jeans would work just fine)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work gloves<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A small plastic scoop<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bucket or tarp to collect the debris<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A garden hose<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind, the most important things here are the ladder, plastic scoop, and bucket. It\u2019s highly recommended to use everything on this list, but you\u2019ll be able to improvise with everything else besides the ladder, plastic scoop, and bucket.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>2. Removing The Debris<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place your ladder along your roof siding; make sure it\u2019s secure and in place. Using the plastic scoop, go around the perimeter of your home and any debris. However, <\/span><b>do not climb on top of your roof. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking around and putting that extra weight on your roof will greatly damage your shingles, and when bad enough it will lead to some expensive roof repairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>3. Cleaning The Aftermath<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways to pick up the aftermath on the ground, but we recommend placing tarps along the sides of your home to catch all of the gunk in your gutters. Of course, when this isn\u2019t possible a bucket would also work just fine to pick up everything on the ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>4. Checking For Leaks<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, take your garden hose and flush your entire gutter system to get any stubborn leaves, dirt, or any other debris that remains. Doing so will also check for any leaks throughout your gutter system. However, <\/span><b>do not use a pressure washer. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The immense force from a pressure washer will heavily damage your gutters, and lead to costly <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/vanmartinroofing.com\/dayton\/roofing-accessories\/gutters\/\">leak repairs or even a full gutter replacement.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>How To Prevent Build-Up In Your Gutters<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your gutters get clogged way too frequently, then you should invest in some <\/span><b>gutter guards. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as gutter covers, all types of gutter guards prevent larger debris from entering your gutters, while still letting water flow through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gutters in West Chester, Ohio easily become clogged, therefore you should consider gutter guards.
