No one likes cleaning gutters. However while cleaning out your house's rain gutters isn't a fun chore, it's an essential one that safeguards your property's walls and foundation from moisture, mold, termites and rot. The very best way to clean gutters is by getting up on a ladder and taking out all the gunk and sediment by hand and then flushing the gutters and downspouts with a big hose. But if you're not capable of that level of activity, or simply can't or don't desire to devote a day or two to cleaning out your house's gutters, then you might be considering paying a expert to do it for you.
