Rain gutters are made to help shield your home from the elements. Without rain gutters, rain races gets to basements and crawl spaces, and down the slope of the roof, splashes down against your siding, doors, windows, and base, erodes soil around your base. A rain gutter system that is proper collects water goes in out and through downspouts to sewer systems or drainage. You'd be amazed how much an average size roof collects water during a rainstorm. A inches of rain implies your roof is attempting to shed 500 gallons of water over, 500 gallons soaking base of your house, doors, windows, and the siding might be a problem that is real. ​If not properly directed away, this rain can even cause foundation problems.

Gutter Cleaning - As a homeowner, that your task is to maintain your gutter free and clean from debris so water could be collected and drained. Clogged gutters lead to overflow which just pours or melts the borders of the gutters and on your siding, windows, etc. 

Can you clean your gutters? Determined by you're standing on the ladder or roof, some people choose to take action themselves and how high your roof is, many people choose to employ a gutter cleaning services. Many roofing firms also do side work cleaning jobs to keep busy through the year. For single story roofs, you may get through with a 6 or 8 foot ladder and get access to their tops of that your gutters. Work out of end to end, scooping out as much leaves, soil, and debris as you could - use gloves to defend your hands. 

Following their gutters are clean, grab a hose and wash out their gutters, making certain the downspout is clean and draining correctly. You may also push the pipe partially down the downspout and turn up the hose to flush out any little, lose pieces that can be stuck. Clogged downspouts may also be cleaned utilizing a plumbers serpent, coming from either below or above, depending upon where you may get access to the spout. The churning, grinding movement of the serpent will usually clear any obstructions in their pipe. You might watch tools promising to allow you to stand on their ground and magically scoop our leaves and debris from the gutters, but in our experience these do not work very all, sometimes hardly at all. First, you can't see what you're doing. Second of all, you can't get much power or leverage to actually grab out claws full or gunk.​
