Do It Yourself (DIY) Gutter Tip
It is possible to clean out your own gutters. This will drastically improve your home's drainage system. Depending on how many stories your home is you're going to need to invest in a ladder or two. Be extremely careful when using any ladders and be sure to place them on level ground before you start. Work your way down the gutter starting with the point furthest from the down spout. With a hose spray out all debris and remove any extra with your hands. Once you reach the down spout you'll want to try and clear out any clogs. A straightened wire hanger can be a great tool. Use it to remove anything you can in the top of the down spout and then use your hose to flush any loose debris down the spout. Remember to always remain cautious when working at such heights.
