When it rains, it pours, and sometimes it is not just water coming down your shingles and downpipes. If you live near areas populated by trees, you have probably faced the task of having to clean your rain gutter installation at length. It is a well-known fact that all kinds of debris, like leaves, twigs, and shingle grits, can fall into and on your rain gutter system especially during the rainy season, obstructing and clogging the flow of water.

To make matters worse, debris build-up eventually causes problems that can be very costly to repair. To begin with, loose debris over your gutters and roof are a fire hazard that could put you, your loved ones, and your home at risk. When this debris falls into your gutters from the rain and it accumulates, it will eventually decompose and compress into a solid, damp mass that can clog your downspouts. This causes water to cascade over the edges of your gutters and onto your lawn, eroding your grass or garden, or onto your foundations, which leads to incredibly costly structural damages like chipped paintwork, dismantled windows and doors, and a flooded basement. The decomposed clogging mass can also cause mold and plague infestations.
