Depending upon problem spots found during the examination, the professional may choose to remove obvious large obstructions first or can simply start at one end of the guttering working their way to a downspout. For two-story houses, most service providers would prefer to clean the gutter system starting with the highest level and work their way downward. Heavy-duty work gloves, a garden or gutter scoop, and a bucket are very useful when cleaning the gutters. When particularly obstinate clogs are found the technician may opt to employ a plumber’s snake or high-pressure water to clear the obstruction.

At this point, the technician may have the opportunity to recognize potential problems with your guttering that were not apparent before the cleaning. The professional will advise you of anything you ought to be on the lookout for over time.
