Prevent Winter Problems, Clean Gutters & Downspout Fall is a great time to clean gutters to be sure they provide proper drainage in the winter. Wait until most of the autumn leaves have fallen and follow these cleaning guidelines: -- Use a ladder that reaches about a foot above the gutter. -- Take out all debris from gutters. You'll probably need gloves and a container. -- Sweep the gutter clean with a stiff brush. -- Use a forceful spray from a garden hose to flush away any remaining debris and make sure the gutter isn't blocked. -- Check for leaks using the garden hose. Make sure you don't damage the gutter by resting the ladder against it. Also, direct the downspout away from the house so water doesn't collect against the foundation.
