Keeping all gutters clean and downpipes clear will ensure water to move freely preventing overflows and staining on your exterior walls or even dampness inside. Generally cleaning your gutters once a year should be sufficient. However some will need more frequent and others the extreme opposite. It all depends on the location of the house. Trees can cause problems and even a house that is shaded from the sun can grow buckets of moss in a matter of months. White PVC or Aluminum gutters and fascias can look very, very dirty. These can be washed and brought back to new condition with a bit of elbow grease and degreasers and detergents. Most gutters on houses are cleaned with ladders but for higher houses or industrial premises a cherry picker is hired to make the task safer and easier.
