Overview
Fall is the perfect season to inspect and clean
your gutters because of the fall foliage and the
debris left over from summer storms. Furthermore,
once winter's low temperatures occur, debris and
water in your gutters may freeze and create
clogs. The extra weight may cause your gutters to
separate from your house and lead to more
problems. The role of gutter maintenance and
repair is quite high irrespective of any season.

Importance of Gutter Cleaning During Fall
Rainwater must be directed away from your home's
roof, walls, and foundation via gutters. But
leaves, twigs, and other debris can block your
gutters and cause a number of issues, including

Water Damage
Water overflowing from clogged gutters can damage
foundations, cause roof leaks, and erode
landscaping.
Infestations of Pests
Gutter debris creates an ideal habitat for pests
including birds, mice, and mosquitoes.

Gutter sagging and detachment from the house can
be caused by an excessive level of debris and
standing water.

Keep safety on priority

• Reaching your roofline will require you to climb
  a ladder, making gutter cleaning a messy
  operation. Employ common sense safety measures to
  protect yourself against falling objects, such as
  leveling your ladder, using non-slip shoes, and
  donning safety glasses. Additionally, you should
  wear heavy work or landscaping gloves.

7
Eliminate debris
Gutter cleaning is advised for your house twice a
year, once in the spring and once in the fall. By
doing this, you can lessen the accumulation of
leaves, sticks, and other trash. Put on gloves
and remove leaves and other debris by hand to
clean gutters. To remove tenacious accumulations,
you can also use a wire brush and a gutter scoop,
both of which are available at most hardware
stores.

Rinse flush
Once you have cleaned them, use a garden hose to
flush the gutters and downspouts to get rid of
any last bits of debris and leaves. In addition
to cleaning the gutters, the water will ensure
that your downspouts are clear and allow you to
identify any leaks.
9
Handle small leaks
If you find a leak, fracture, or tiny hole while
cleaning the gutters, you can probably seal it
yourself. To fix any small cracks or leaky
joints, just use a caulk tube.
Check downspouts
Make that the downspouts are unobstructed and
that the water is directed away from the
foundation. To remove any obstructions, use a
high-pressure hose or a plumber's snake.
