Gutter clogs are no fun. (They) can cause water to back up, leading to roof and basement damage. But you don't have to lift a finger to keep them clean and clog-free! Yay! Here's how:
First of all, make sure your tree branches are trimmed away from the gutters. If they're too close, falling leaves will accummulate in the gutter system. Even if this isn't an issue, it's still agood idea to remove any debris that may have collected in the gutters periodically. A leaf blower is great for this task -- or you could hire someone to do it for ya if you'd prefer not to bother with it yourself!
Next up, install some kind of guard over your gutters so that larger items like sticks and twigs don't end up blocking the flow of water through them. Some guards even cover small particles like sand or dirt so it doesn't get stuck inside either. This way you won't have to worry about doing any major gutter maintenance every few months!
Finally, consider investing in a rainwater harvesting system that collects runoff from your roof and reuses it elsewhere on your property. Doing this prevents overflow while also repurposing water that would otherwise go wasted down the drain. How awesome is that?
By following these tips, you can enjoy clean and clog-free gutters without lifting a excrutiatingly single finger!
