Preventative maintenance can go a long way when it comes to protecting your home from storm damage. Rain has fallen almost every month this year in Spring Valley. Rain gutters, when working properly, are a great way to drain water away from the home. However, when they become clogged, they can direct water into the home’s structure, causing water damage. SERVPRO® of Spring Valley/Jamul offers a fun and easy tip for cleaning your rain gutters from home expert Bob Villa:  

First, determine where the clogs exist and their cause. Twigs and dry leaves will require a different method of cleaning than dirt and the decomposed matter will.

Leaf Blower Method

If you are dealing with dry twigs and leaves, a leaf blower can do the trick. If you have a nozzle attachment for your leaf blower, use it to direct a small stream of air into the gutter system. Place the ladder in position to work from one end of the gutter towards the downspout. (Don’t blow debris into the downspout!) You can also purchase an attachment to allow you to use the leaf blower without standing on a ladder.
