Clean Gutters

Although gutters cleaning is a dirty, disgusting task, it is important to the health of your home. A clean and clear gutter will draw water away from your home’s foundation. If left neglected, water can go places it shouldn’t backing up onto your roof, pouring down your soffit and fascia, and pooling around the foundation of your home.

In fact, foundation damage alone can be thousands of dollars in repair costs. For these specific reasons, it is important to keep your gutters clean and clear. You can use gutter cleaning tools, or do it by your way.

• Steady the ladder against the side of the house
