How do I clean 2nd story gutters from the ground?
Question:I have a steep pitched roof and a ladder that wobbles to much, makes unsafe. I have read about a attachment for a hose that can reach, do you know where to buy one?
Answers:
I made one myself. Take a 21 foot length of 3/4" galvanized pipe with threaded ends and put a hose adapter and coupling on one end to hook up to the garden hose. The other end you can screw on a couple 90 degree elbows and nipples to direct the water down into the gutter.
Nope, never heard of that. I´ve always done it manually.
Galv. pipe gets heavy at that length, so I would be care full with that one. Before you use this method check the area for power lines. Also, this would only work if the gutter has minimal debris. I have read about using PVC and connecting that to a blower but I am thinking that's a mess. The best way is to keep them clean in the first place with a gutter leaf blocking system. If that is not an option hire someone else to clean them.
Why not rent a good ladder from a rent it all company. Its much better than using an unsafe ladder.
Climb the ladder and take the garden hose and try to free up the clogged areas.
