I use a shop vac and all the mess is contained and not forced further. I have seen a person use a air compressor and cause a jam that then needed expensive repairs. Many places are getting away from the blowers and using the vacs for noise and debris. If there is any chance of debris other than leaves, light stuff it is better to pull the stuff out not try to push it through. I maintain gutters at my moms house and a three story condo building. I think this idea would work for seasonal, easy cleanings. Good video.

Thank you the helpful video. My gutters are two stories up and there’s no way I’m climbing a ladder that high. I put gutter guards on my house. I think it’s worth the investment not to have to deal with it anymore. They also sell those round wire downspout traps that you place over the hole so the gutters don’t fill with leaves. It’s easier to clean a gutter than a clogged downspout.

I have a gutter that's been overflowing and finally got ahold of a ladder to check on it. Not only did I have a nice inch or so of sediment running along the whole thing, there was a ton of leaves and other junk in the downspout. Got it clear enough to drain for now at least.

Excellent ideas. I attached a length of vinyl gutter, about 7 feet with a couple j-shaped channels at the end. I stand on the ground now & use the leaf blower to blow the gutters out. I've also used the snake to clear the garage gutters, being they have a couple twists in them.

I just had my gutters cleaned by a gutter cleaning/ window company. He cleaned leaves out by hand and was supposed to flush out to check downspout with hose. He did not use hose at all, as he was pressed for time. Said he tested it by throwing a marble down and since the marble came out, means downspout is clear. I don't get that as marble is so tiny. I checked bottom of downspout after he left, and it had lots of leaves that I pulled out by hand. Have u ever heard of this marble method and do u think it's sufficient?
@JMGENTERPRISES Жыл бұрын
I've heard of the marble method. It can help see if your gutters are completely blocked but if you have a partial blockage it usually falls through. Best to flush the gutters. If you paid this man and he didn't complete the job, you should get him back there!!

@truthseekerKJV Жыл бұрын
The best way to KNOW FOR CERTAIN that your downspouts are clear is to take them apart and inspect them. Blowing down into the down spout IS NOT the best way to remove the clog because it will only push it down deeper into the downspout. When I take mine off of the gutter, the clog is always right at the top where the downspout connects to the gutter. I remove the clog by hand, or with hand tools and 5 minutes later the down spout is clear. 10 minutes later, it's all back together, the ladder and the tools are put away, and I'm watching TV.
