Gutters are essential components of home protection. They capture rainwater before it causes any structural or aesthetic damages, as well as keeping moisture out of the ground around your house which can otherwise lead to mold and mildew growth.
Maintain clean gutters regularly to keep your home healthy and safe, as clogged or dirty gutters could prevent water from draining properly and lead to costly property damages.
DIY gutter cleaning without using a ladder can be challenging for DIYers, but with the appropriate tools and techniques it may be possible to safely complete this task from the ground. Here are a few ideas that may make this easier:
These attachments fit onto standard shop vac or leaf blowers to enable easy vacuuming of gutters from the ground, using their curved end to easily reach into clogged gutters and sucking debris into their vacuum chamber.
A power sprayer is another useful tool that allows you to reach over gutters to remove debris. Some models even include multiple spray settings to make reaching every corner easier.
For optimal results when working at heights, wear safety goggles and a hard hat during gutter cleaning. Both items can be found at local hardware stores.
