You’ll be surprised just how much dirt and debris can find their way into your gutters over the course of one year, or one season, for that matter. Nearby trees are especially problematic in dumping large amounts of foliage in your troughs and downspouts. This debris can block your gutters and obstruct the flow of rainwater which, in turn, leads to a myriad of additional problems throughout your home.
Cleaning gutters can be a tiresome, endless and dangerous activity. Luckily, Chattahoochee Gutter Co., Inc., the leading local gutter company according to hundreds of gutter guard reviews, can help you make this chore easier and more convenient.
Safety Gear
Before you head up on a ladder to scoop out gutter muck, make sure that you’re wearing the right attire for the job. Replace your flip-flops and other open-toed footwear with closed shoes with rubber soles. The rubber gives you a good grip and stable footing while you’re working on a ladder. Wear protective goggles and gloves as well to minimize any accidental cuts or injuries on your hands and face. Finally, because you’ll be working up on the roof, hard hat regulations must be observed at all times.
Tools and Equipment
Gutter brooms, vacuums and sprays can make the difference between an all-day chore or a two-hour clean-up. The right tools will not only make the process that much faster and easier, but they can also ensure a deeper and closer clean every time.
