Make proper safety measurements

examining your gutter system.

Gutter Inspection
Before anything else, make sure you inspect your
gutter system with full ends, to ensure there are
no cracks, holes, or rust spots. These
unnoticeable issues can lead to various problems
like breakage or damage of the gutter system.

Examine downspouts

ensure that you come down to check the downspouts
too. Downspouts make a pathway for the water to
flow freely. If that is blocked, cleaning the
gutter system will be of no use to you. So make
sure, the downspouts are properly free.

Clean all the leaves and debris
One of the most important steps in the gutter
system process, is cleaning the leaves, twigs,
debris, and dirt. If this accumulates in the
gutter, it can cause potential damage, blockages,
and water overflow. You have to be direct in
clearing all the smaller and larger debris, as it
should be crystal clear.

Installing gutter guards
Gutter guards play an important role in keeping
all the larger debris away from the gutter system
and improving gutter cleaning. If you have
installed the gutter guards, it is a bonus for
you, just make sure that it is properly
maintained to make it function more effectively.
If you don't have them, consider installing one.
It will be a worthwhile investment that will
protect in the long run.

Checking for a proper drainage system
After cleaning and examining your gutters and
downspouts, make sure to check there is a proper
drainage system. Run the water freely through it,
to check the flow of water is smooth and that
there are no leaks in the system.

Cut down the extra branches of your trees
To prevent any future debris and twigs from
falling into your gutter system and blocking it,
make sure you cut down all the long branches of
your trees into short ones.
Keep a proper check on the leaks
If you find any leakage in your gutter system,
make sure to use good quality seal tape to pack
it all around, so that no water flows over it. It
is very important to observe these small details
that can protect the gutter cleaning in the long
run.

Check for proper securing
Make sure that gutter hangers are tightly
fastened. With time, the gutter system starts to
sag, before it falls and causes damage, you need
to timely check its security.
Regular maintenance
Lastly, it is essential to regularly check and
keep your gutters in good condition. Make a
proper plan to clean the gutter system every 4
months, so that all the debris and twigs get s
removed and no blockage can happen in the rainy
or winter season.

Conclusion
During the winter months, leaves and debris can
accumulate in the gutter system causing blockage
and improper water flow. When spring shower
season arrives, the already clogged gutter in the
system can overflow the water which damages the
roof.
