Operation: Clean Out Your Rain Gutters

I'm not afraid of messy jobs - I've done all kinds - from working for a oil tank removal company in Shaftesbury to being a binman.
So onto guttering! Gutters are an important and an underestimated portion of your roof and drainage system. If they are clogged with leaves and other debris, they will not work effectively. A clogged gutter will get rain from your roof in areas where you do not want moisture, including the back of your house, depending on the location of the gutter. I clean my gutters frequently in the rainy season, but especially during the Fall season when the leaves drop. Gutters are at least one story in height and can be difficult to reach. I usually choose the method of using a ladder that allows me to do extensive cleaning as it relates to my gutters. I am able to access the gutters with ease by using a ladder. I wear gloves to get the leaves from the gutter. When the gutter is clear in principle, I go back and house the gutter to ensure it is clear and ready for when it rains.
