How To Clean Rain Gutters
3 easy steps for keeping your rain gutters or eaves troughs clear and flowing smoothly
1) Clean Out Loose Debris- Starting at a drain outlet at the low end of a gutter, use a narrow garden trowel to scoop out loose debris, working away from the drain outlet. It's usually easiest to do this when the debris is slightly damp and pliable, not soggy or dried and encrusted.
2) Blast out the Gutters with a Hose-
Using an on-off high-pressure nozzle mounted at the end of a water hose, wash out each length of gutter, working toward the drain outlet.
3) Clear Obstructions in Drainpipes- If water doesn't drain freely through drainpipes, try flushing debris down them with the hose. If that doesn't work, use a plumber's auger (snake) to free and pull out debris from the bottom.
