While installing custom rain gutters is a great investment, it can also be costly. Whether you are saving to have your current rain gutters replaced, or have already had your new rain gutters installed- you should always keep them clean. A rain gutters life span is largely determined in how well cleaned they are, because if too much debris blocks the flow of water, you can start putting unnecessary pressure weight on the materials- eventually leading to damaged and non-operational rain gutters.

The natural consequence of not having your rain gutters cleaned, is that they will eventually break down and need to be repaired. This process can be costly, as you'll have to pay for new materials, time and labor- not to mention your faulty rain gutter could have damaged other parts of your home or property.

So what is the best course of action for keeping your rain gutters clean?

Hire professional rain gutter cleaners. It will be safer and more cost effective to do so.

According to data from nachi.org, "each year there are more than 164,000 emergency room-treated injuries and 300 deaths in the U.S. that are caused by falls from ladders. Most ladder deaths are from falls of 10 feet or less. Falls from ladders are the leading cause of deaths on construction sites."

Everyone thinks that they will never be part of the statistic, but if you aren't careful, cleaning out your own rain gutters can be a hazardous and sometimes life-ending choice. An emergency trip to the hospital plus the cost of possibly not being able to work is much more costly and time consuming than hiring a professional service. In case you didn't see above, most deaths happen on construction sites- which means the people who are spending time on ladders every day still don't always have the luck of the draw!
