How to clean two storey high gutters?

I like to clean my gutter (can see some growth), but it is a two-storey building. It is very high and I have no extendable ladder to that height. Any alternative?

Re: Gutter Cleaning

Hello @Chingy 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about cleaning your gutters.

 

I propose looking at the Pope Extendable Cleaning Wand or the Nylex Telescopic Jet Wand Hose End. These extendable cleaning wands can go up to 1.7m and 1.8m depending on how tall you are you might be able to reach the gutter with these tools. When attached to your garden hose, you should be able to wash the debris off your gutter. 

 

Please be careful when using long attachments to your garden hose, accidentally touching electrical wires nearby can cause electrical shock and injury. Please make sure to wear personal protection such as rubber gloves and thick rubber soled footwear. Make sure to take all necessary safety precautions and be aware of your surroundings when using the tool.

 

However, if the tool is not long enough, I can only suggest engaging the services of a professional gutter cleaning crew. They will have the equipment and experience to safely give your gutter a quick wash and clean.  

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi @Chingy,

 

If you can see stuff growing in the gutter that means there's a lot of buildup and you need to get a professional in for the job.

 

Cheers

The thing is it extends only to 1.7m. Any model that extends longer?

Re: Gutter Cleaning

Hello @Chingy 

 

I'm sorry, but there are no other models longer than what I have referred to. If it is too high, it might be necessary to engage the services of a professional roof and gutter cleaner. They will have the proper safety equipment to operate at such a height. They will also have the equipment to clean your gutter.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
