Clear Your Gutters

Gutters should be cleared out bi-annually. It can be a big job, but it’s an important chore because overflowing gutters can cause water to overflow outside your home, causing a flood. The second reason gutters should be cleared is to ensure the downpipes are free from debris and prevent a blockage.

For low set houses, use gloves to clear your gutters. For high-set houses, a scaffold will need to be hired. It’s best to leave this for a plumber to organise for you for safety.
