How to Keep Your Gutters Clean Without Climbing a Ladder

Gutter cleaning tips by Carolina Gutter Helmet

Gutter cleaning often requires the use of a ladder, which can be dangerous for homeowners. Fortunately, you have various options if you want to avoid climbing a ladder.

Learn ways to keep your gutters clean without a ladder from a trusted gutter protection expert.

Gutter Vacuum

A gutter vacuum is great for gutters that are filled with pine needles, twigs, and dry leaves. Many gutter vacuum attachments fit perfectly on the end of a leaf blower. They curl over the edge of a gutter and suck the debris into a vacuum chamber.

Gutter Flusher

A gutter flusher is another cleaning method to avoid the use of a ladder. It blasts away gutter debris using a high-powered jet stream hose attachment. Gutter flushers usually come with extendable metal poles that can be attached to a garden hose. However, you need to be careful when using this tool to prevent water and gunk from getting all over the place.

Gutter Guards

Invest in gutter guards to eliminate the need for climbing a ladder for good. Gutter Helmet® has a textured surface that allows water to flow through a small opening where leaves, branches, and other debris can’t fit through. It also comes in different finishes to complement your home’s exterior.

Gutter Cleaning Applicator

A gutter cleaning applicator attaches to an extendable painter’s pole. It will allow you to wipe off the exterior surfaces of your gutters while standing on the ground. The downside of this product is that it can be difficult to see if you’re actually removing all the debris out of the gutters.

I highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet in Greer S.C. They did an excellent job on my bath tub to shower project. It was 1 and a half day completion. Very professional and courteous staff .The tare out and install was expedient. They cleaned up and took away all that wad needed. Call them for a job that you need well done. I love my new shower.

We had a full size retractable awning replaced due to tropical storm Helene and another awning installed in its place within a couple of hours. Great job and I would highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet for any of your awning needs! Thank you again!

Stephen Cordes

We ordered a Sunsetter Awning from Carolina Gutter Helmet. The sales person was knowledgeable about the awning and was very pleasant to deal with. The awning was installed 4 weeks later and it only took them 2-3 hours to finish. We received cookies in the mail a few weeks later thanking us for our business. The people at Carolina Gutter Helmet are experts at customer service. We are very pleased with their service and the awning.

I had a tub to walk in shower conversion. What they did was more than I expected. The installers were total professionals and they did a beautiful job. They walked me through everything and cleaned up before they left. Total satisfaction on my part.
