The curved piece of metal at the top prevents debris from falling into the gutter while rain pours into the gutter and down the downspout. The gutters come with a guarantee not to clog, which makes cleaning a LeafGuard gutter is somewhat different than cleaning a traditional gutter system.
-
Set a ladder near a corner of the house opposite of where the gutter connects to the drain spout. The ladder should be tall enough to reach the roof of the home.
-
Climb the ladder with someone holding the ladder for support. Bring a garden hose attached to a water supply with you.
-
Position the garden hose at the opening of the gutter at the corner of the house. Have someone on the ground turn on the water supply to the hose.
-
Allow the water to pour into the gutter to clean it. When satisfied with the results, have the person turn off the water supply.
