It's no secret! Cleaning out your own gutters is extremely dangerous! According to The U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission, the average amount of ER treated injuries from ladders and step stools was 28,510 in a single year!

The risks are ever present when cleaning gutters since you are off the ground, around electrical wires, possibly walking on a slippery roof and dealing with slippery messy stuff from the gutters themselves. Be cautious and vigilant when cleaning gutters. Accidents usually are from lack of attention to the dangers that are present. If the gutters are higher than you are comfortable going up to just don't do it. Hire a professional.

If the thought of climbing a ladder to clean your nasty gutters doesn't appeal to you, do what thousands of homeowners are doing. Investing in leaf free gutter and hood system. Once and for all, you can feel confident that your home will be safe from water damage, and you will never have to clean your gutters again! The system works because leaves, twigs and other debris can no longer get into the gutter.

Your gutters are no longer doing their job and channeling the water away from your house, so it erodes your flowerbeds, or seeps into your foundation. Once this happens, it's going to take thousands of dollars to fix the problem. Having a leaf free gutter and hood system will keep your gutters clean, which means you never have to clean them again. But more importantly, it means your home is forever protected from damaging water.
