The Importance of Cleaning your Gutters

Nobody likes the site of nasty gutters that are full of leaves, junk and debris. And many homeowners neglect their gutters to the point that they get filled to the beam with rubbish and will eventually sag and break of the piping system.

So now that you know the importance of why you should clean out your gutters, how do you go about cleaning them. Well, there are 2 options, either go the old fashioned way and do it yourself (hard and annoying) or simply hire a professional roofing company to do it for you (recommended)

You can do it yourself, but gutters tend to get ruined during autumn where the leaves disperse off the trees and fly into and clog your gutters, and also during the windy winter season. So how do you go about doing it yourself? What you need is 4 things:

1. A big AND small brush
2. A pair of strong elastic gloves
3. A ladder
4. A face mask/protector

So the first item is both a big brush and a small brush. The big brush is to get the bulk off first, then what you want to do is put on a pair of sturdy gloves which are the second item. Then, what you want to do grab a ladder which is the third item on list, put on the face mask/protector which is the fourth item then get on the ladder and get to work, removing the smaller, harder-to-reach junk in the gutters with the small brush.

This can be tedious and hard work. You are better of hiring a professional and well trusted roofing company in your area that offer guttering services. This is time saving and you can find reliable and cheap roofers by following this guide.
