Cleaning Gutters Without Ladder

Cleaning gutters has never been something people look forward to all that much. Mostly because in the past it involved climbing up on a ladder and scooping out all the muck and debris by hand. Not exactly and appealing activity. But those days are gone.

Instead, all you need is the telescoping wand and gutter cleaner extension for your pressure washer and you are in business. With those attachments you can spray water up to 24 feet in the air. The telescoping wand allows you to reach up to the level of the gutters and the gutter cleaner extension lets you navigate your way in there and scoop out the debris, clearing any blockages. You can also use the pressure washer to clean the outside of the gutters, too. This helps to spruce up the outward appearance of your house.

There are no ladders required any more. Now you can clean gutters out while both feet are planted firmly on the ground. It also takes a fraction of the time it used to, and your hands stay clean the whole time.

What Happens If You Don't Clean Your Gutters?

Most people do not think cleaning their gutters is all that important. They do not realize the ramifications that could have on the rest of their home. For starters, gutters are meant to keep water away from your house. As leaves and other debris fill your gutters and block them up, water cannot drain out of them properly. Now your gutters start to overflow and spill water onto the walls and down to the foundation of your house.

Now, instead of spending a few minutes cleaning out your gutters, you have serious water damage in your walls and foundation to contend with.

Another danger of not cleaning your gutters out regularly is that when they begin to overflow a good amount of that water can freeze over during the winter months, creating a very icy and slippery obstacle course outside your house.

Cleaning gutters takes less time now than it ever has and you can do a better. By doing this regularly you save yourself a lot of time and money in potential water damage down the line. Gutter cleaning really can save you money.

Cleaning Gutters Without Making A Mess Of The Yard

You would be surprised at how gross some of the stuff is that comes out of gutters. So it is best to do what you can to be prepared for it and to make sure you have all of the appropriate tools for cleaning gutters. If you have not done it in a while, there is a good chance there will be a lot of muck, debris, leaves and dirty water streaming out of there during the course of your gutter cleaning.

That is why you should place a large empty trash barrel underneath the gutters to catch as much of the falling materials as possible. This leaves less yard cleanup for you to do after the gutters are completely finished.

Once all the debris has been removed you can use the telescoping wand to run water through the gutters until the inside is clog-free and clean. Then run it over the outside to clean there, too. Everything that was caught in the large trash barrel should be dumped into a 50-gallon trash bag. Then double or even triple bag it if necessary to avoid any leaks.

Once you have done that you can use the pressure washer to clean the inside of the trash barrel and then dispose of all the waste. Now the more often you do this the less time it will take and the less of a mess you will have to clean out of your gutters.
