You want to be sure that your gutters are pulling the rain off of your roof, and taking the water out away from your house. When they are working efficiently they can help prevent flooding issues and unnecessary damage to your home.
When your gutters are clogged with leaves and debris they can overflow and become detached from the house. Often times this causes other issues such as water and wood rot issues in doors, windows, on various sections of the home.
When cleaning your gutters you may use a yard blower to get the excess debris removed or use a regular small garden shovel. You may be able to use a garden hose to free up the debris in the bottom of the gutters. Be sure that the water is running freely through the gutters when you are finished.
If you are uncomfortable with the thought of getting up on a ladder or getting on your roof, it may be best to hire someone else to clean those gutters out for you.
