It's time to get ready for winter in Boston! Gutter cleaning is a must for anyone looking to stay ahead of the harsh weather. (Unfortunately,) it can be a tedious task that no one wants to do. But with a few helpful tips, you'll be able to tackle this chore and make sure your gutters are up-to-date and ready for whatever Mother Nature throws our way!
First, (sadly) you need some basic tools like gloves and ladders. After gathering all your supplies, it's then time to remove any debris from the gutters, such as leaves and twigs. Be careful while working on the ladder – safety first! Once everything is clear, check along the seams of the gutter for any holes or cracks that need repair. If that's all taken care of, flush out your gutters with water to test their strength.
Nextly, inspect the downspouts for any blockages or clogged areas. When clearing these out use caution – if there is too much pressure built up it could cause damage to your system. If everything looks good here, move onto inspecting for any corrosion or rust spots on both the gutters and downspouts. A quick coat of paint should do wonders! Lastly (fortunately), take one last look at your property from ground level as sometimes trees or shrubs can block water flow from reaching the spout or cause other issues with drainage.
Overall, gutter cleaning may seem intimidating but (luckily) it doesn't have to be! With these easy steps you'll quickly be prepared for winter in no time! So don't forget: glove up and get those gutters cleaned!
