The Importance of Gutter Cleaning With Five Star Pressure Washing

Sarasota, FL - Rain gutters play an important role in residential and commercial properties all across the community. In a world without gutters, rain would spread across a property's roof, walls, and other exterior surfaces, increasing the risk of moisture-related damage. Rain gutters ensure that this water is collected and channeled to the ground. There, it is absorbed and enters local watersheds-that is, the naturally occurring reservoirs that facilitate the water cycle. To ensure rain gutters work correctly, they should be cleaned on an annual basis. Companies such as Five Star Pressure Washing [https://www.fivestarservices-inc.com] do this work professionally, but you can also clean gutters on your own if you choose to do so. Read below to learn more about the process.

Cleaning Out Gutters to Prevent Clogs

Gutters catch rain and channel it to the ground. However, gutters may inadvertently catch solid pieces of debris, as well. The usual suspects include leaves, bird nests, and twigs. A few of these items will not render a gutter useless; however, as this debris continues to accumulate, the chance of a clog increases dramatically. A clogged gutter will not be able to channel water to the ground, and ultimately, it will overflow. This reintroduces the risk of moisture damage to your property.

To eliminate clogs, simply climb up a ladder and remove large pieces of debris by hand. Additionally, consider flushing the downspouts. By putting a hose at the downspout's upper opening and spraying high-pressure water into it, most debris will be dislodged and removed. If necessary, use a plumber's snake to remove any stubborn items.

Brightening Gutters For Improved Visual Appeal

Even if your rain gutters are functioning correctly, that does not mean they are free from debris. It could be possible that the debris is on the exteriors of the gutters instead of the interiors. Gutters that are coated with dirt, pollen, dead insects, and other debris are hardly pleasing to the eye, so consider brushing them clean to improve their overall appearance.

This work is best done with a soft-bristled brush, as well as a cleaning solution of your choice. Simply climb up a ladder, dip the brush in the solution, and brush the gutters clean. This may require you to climb down and relocate the ladder multiple times. It will be worth the improved appearance of the gutters, though.
