It’s almost spring and with all this rain, if you’re an Asheville homeowner, you are probably thinking about cleaning your home’s gutter system.

Most homes in the western North Carolina and Asheville area need to have their rain gutters and downspouts cleaned 2-3 times per year due to wooded landscape of the area. When you look around, you may see homes with small trees and ferns growing in gutters because the homeowner hasn’t maintained the gutters. Over time, organic muck builds up. This is an invitation to trouble. You risk damage to roofs, fascia and siding, and over exposure to mosquitoes that cause disease and mold and mildew, that can aggravate allergies and sinuses. When rain gutters are clogged, water can overflow, causing exterior damage and interior mold and mildew. Gutter guards, covers or helmets can protect gutters in Western North Carolina from clogging and overflowing.

If you happen to live in a 1 story house, you may be able to clean your own gutters. A ladder, preferably an articulating type can be set up so it doesn’t rest directly on the gutters. If you don’t have one, it’s not a show stopper, just be forewarned that stuffed, overflowing gutters can cause damage. Gutter cleaning isn’t for everyone. If you need help, call the friendly people at Gutter Helmet of WNC at 828.681.5555 they’ll take care of it for you.

To tackle this job yourself, you’ll need gloves, a bucket or plastic bags, and a hose. Gutters are fraught with sharp edges and are no place for unprotected hands.

Secure and hook the hose to the gutter so it slides along the gutter as you go. Keep in mind that gutters are not designed to take any appreciable weight, so don’t let your bucket get too full and don’t lean on gutters either.

Use your hands or a scoop to clean out the muck and leaves and dump into your bucket. When full, toss the muck in the compost. Once the gutter is clean, use the hose to remove remaining debris. Look for leaks or holes that need repair. A gutter professional can spot leaks and needed repairs easily.
