Setting Up Equipment and Tools to Clean Gutters
Our experts stick to the highest safety standards in the gutter cleaning industry. While every single downspout and gutter cleaning project is different the tools used to perform most projects are similar. Setting up ladders safely and correctly while preventing any harm to the rain gutter or landscaping is especially essential. Although many skilled service technicians have the ability to handle ladder usage appropriately without them, different types of ladder stabilizers are routinely used to help avoid both house damage and potential incidents. Especially large jobs require a number of ladder moves by technicians. Properly attaching hoses to allow for the needed reach without harming surrounding shrubbery, plants, or flowers is essential.

We also take the time to spot missing screws, loose-fitting joints, and spots where your gutters may have noticeably pulled away from the fascia. Carrying out this examination allows the expert to correctly evaluate the particular issues with your gutter system, specific areas that may need special attention, and to determine the measures necessary to ensure a correctly functioning gutter system.
Remove Debris and Clogs in Gutters and Downspouts
After the assessment, the gutter cleaning pro will safely set an extension ladder to gain access to the starting point of cleaning the gutters. Depending upon problem areas discovered in the course of the assessment, the professional may select to remove obvious large blockages first or may well simply start at one end of the guttering working their way to a downspout. For two-story houses, most specialists would prefer to clear the gutter system starting with the highest level and work their way downward. Heavy-duty work gloves, a garden or gutter scoop, and a bucket are extremely beneficial when cleaning the gutters. When especially persistent obstructions are found the technician may decide to employ a plumber’s snake or high-pressure water to clear the interference. Finally, after clearing away all the debris the gutter cleaner uses a low-pressure water hose to flush the rain gutters and look for the efficient operation of the whole gutter system. At this point, the professional might have the opportunity to recognize issues or prospective problems with your gutter system that were not apparent before the cleaning. The technician will advise you of issues you ought to be on the lookout for over time.
Bag or Distribute Residual Gutter Debris
After the gutter system is checked out, cleaned, and flushed, the technician will make sure that all residual debris is bagged properly for disposal. Alternatively, depending upon the quantity of debris accumulated and the kind of landscaping on the property, the professional may choose to disperse it into existing flower beds or gardens.
