How To Clean Gutters<\/h2>\n

Gutters are designed to channel rainwater away from the exterior of a building and stop it from seeping into walls, windowsills and foundations where it can cause rot, damp and mould to set in. To keep them functioning properly it is a good idea to spend a bit of time on gutter maintenance once or twice a year to ensure they are kept in good condition. In this guide we will go over how to clean gutters and some of the equipment on the market that can help make the job a bit easier.<\/p>\n

Why is it important to keep gutters clean?<\/h3>\n

Over the course of a year, gutters can accumulate lots of airborne debris (such as leaves and twigs) as well as living flora like moss. If this builds up, it can create blockages which will impede the drainage of water and cause the gutter to overflow. This can cause a series of problems: when gutters overflow, large volumes of water will collect around the foundations of the building. This causes soil erosion and can seep into lower floors like basements; if left unchecked it can eventually case structural damage to the foundations of the building. A clogged gutter also means water can start to soak into the roof and walls of the building and the weight of the water and debris can cause the gutter to sag over time, compounding the problem further if it starts to detach from the building. If water cannot drain it will freeze in winter, potentially causing a condition known as an ice dam during especially cold weather. An ice dam is a backed up ridge of ice on the edge of a sloped roof that traps melted snow, whereby it can start to leak through the roof and damage the timber, insulation and ceilings below. Dead leaves and plant matter can also attract insects which may begin nesting inside the roof.<\/p>\n

How to Clean Gutters: Tools & Techniques<\/h3>\n

Given the complications that can arise from poorly maintained gutters, it is worth taking some time once or twice a year to get them cleaned out. Late autumn and summer are common times to tackle gutter cleaning jobs, and a dry sunny day is best as it gives you the opportunity to check for any leaks at the same time. First, all the solid matter must be removed from the guttering, taking care not to shunt any into the downpipes (where any blockages are much harder to clear).\u00a0 After all the debris is cleared, it is a good idea to rinse the gutters clean. Filling the gutter with water will allow you to check for any visible leaks and ascertain whether the downpipes are draining properly. If any of the downpipes appear to be blocked, an attempt can be made to clear them also.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the variety of gutter cleaning tools on the market there are a number of ways to approach this task. Let’s take a look at a few potential examples.<\/p>\n

Ladder & Bucket<\/h3>\n
\"Gardena
Gardena’s Combisystem gutter cleaners can be used with or without long reach handles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The most traditional method is to use a sturdy ladder<\/a>, and you will ideally want to hang a bucket<\/a> or two on it for hands free waste collection and tool storage. Working along the guttering, remove all the solid debris, either with a suitable tool like a scraper, scoop, trowel or simply with your hands. Be aware that you may encounter hidden hazards such as old screws during this process so a suitable pair of gloves<\/a> should be worn to protect yourself from cuts and grazes if you are getting hands on. Many people wear a durable pair of work gloves with disposable gloves underneath for waterproofing. Once you have collected all the debris in your bucket, rinse the gutters clean with a garden hose, check for leaks and inspect the downpipes for any blockages. If they are blocked, you may be able to dislodge the debris by flushing the pipes through with the hose; alternatively you can attempt to dislodge it with a drain auger<\/a>. Any leaking joints or gaps in the guttering can be sealed with roof & gutter sealant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Long Reach Gutter Cleaners<\/h3>\n

If the idea of scaling a ladder doesn’t appeal to you, there are also a number of solutions that enable you to clean them from the relative safety of solid earth. Gardena’s Combisystem range<\/a> includes a couple of gutter cleaners, which can be used either handheld or attached to a pole: the standard Gardena Combisystem Gutter Cleaner Head<\/a> is designed to be affixed to any Combisystem handle and includes a brush and scraper for dislodging debris, while the Gardena Combisystem Telescopic Gutter Cleaner<\/a> is supplied with a removable telescopic Combisystem handle an includes an inlet for connection to a garden hose. This enables you to rinse the gutter clean after you have fished the debris out of it. If your long reach gutter cleaner doesn’t have a hose connection, you can also find telescopic wands like the Flopro Gutter Cleaner<\/a>, which attaches to a standard garden hose and provides up to 174cm of extra reach, with a hooked nozzle for cleaning gutters from below. Although climbing a ladder enables you to clean your gutters more thoroughly, long reach gutter cleaners offer a safer and quicker alternative. If you are concerned about the mess created, a tarpaulin<\/a> or similar piece of sheeting laid out over the ground will help to collect the waste and ensure a quick and easy clean up operation afterwards.<\/p>\n

Pressure Washer Gutter Cleaning<\/h3>\n

If you own a pressure washer<\/a> you may be able to harness its intensive cleaning powers for gutter maintenance. Probably the most fully featured accessory pack for this task is the Karcher\u00a0Gutter & Pipe \/ Drain Cleaning Accessory Kit for K Series Pressure Washers<\/a>. This kit is supplied with a debris trap which you insert into the downpipe to prevent waste from entering it; once in place you insert the special nozzle into the gutter and then blast it clear and clean with a high pressure water jet. The drain cleaning hose also enables you to clear blocked downpipes, meaning you can efficiently accomplish your gutter cleaning tasks with much less time and physical effort than required by other means. Pressure washers can also be employed for cleaning dirt and grime off gutters if they are fitted with suitable lances and angled nozzles\u00a0(like the Bosch 90\u00b0 Nozzle for AQT Pressure Washers<\/a>). Due to the powerful spray employed by these machines, eye protection is recommended to safeguard against flying debris.\u00a0 If you are concerned about the mess created, a tarpaulin<\/a> or similar sheeting laid out over the ground will help to collect the waste and ensure a quick and easy clean up operation afterwards.<\/p>\n

\"Karcher
Karcher’s Gutter & Pipe Cleaning kit is designed for use with K Series pressure washers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whatever your budget or property requirements, you should be able to find a suitable solution, and remember that\u00a0if you don’t feel capable of tackling this task yourself you can always call a professional (or draft a family member in to help).<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

Although they can cause a number of complications if they are not properly maintained, it is not too difficult to ensure gutters are kept clean enough to avoid any potential problems. When kept in good condition, they should provide you with years of service and help keep the water out of your property.
