How Clogged Gutters Are Deep Cleaned | Deep Cleaned
This is a good business to start as it is simple and all you have to do is learn how to handle a ladder like a pro, conquer your fear of heights and understand the importance of rainwater control. The home owner will pay a suprisingly decent amount of money for a service call to have somebody come by with a ladder, run around the yard, blow the roof off, clean the gutters and check downspouts for clogs. Success in this business is the art of great customer service for the proud home owner. They will pay more to have moss treated and your can expand the business to include window cleaning and roof cleaning. I've been doing this for many years and it pays quite well. I do very little marketing as most jobs are repeat clients and referrals.
If it's so easy, why doesn't the homeowner do it.
@@tweedyburd007 lazy or busy 🤷🏻♀️
You’re absolutely right. Little overhead, and many people have them Cleaned. It’s also our foot in the door to powerwash their home.
@@tweedyburd007 the tough part is accessing the gutter. Yards are treacherous. There are bushes, trees and slopes to navigate through. Some gutters can be 30 feet high and you must learn to safely climb to the top without falling to your death.
@@tweedyburd007 Could be to busy or to old to feel comfortable on a ladder.
How long is a piece of string !!
How to clean gutters: Go up there and clean it.
Nope fly up and eat it all and become a tree
I know right, I can't believe someone actually had a business doing this, people are so lazy or stupid I can't believe this business is a thing, he must have gone to university to get a degree!
@@Cagefighter I doubt an 80 years old man or woman can climb to a stair and do it themselves
There’s actually different ideas about what “a clean gutter” is…
@@Pasti401 exactly, and not everybody can tolerate the heat, plus the risk of serious injury or death is prominent if you’re not using the proper equipment. The statistics of ladder accidents are quite high too.
“Trees are growing out of the gutters.”
*Mother Nature:* “You humans cut down my trees, I grow them then inside of your homes.”
never mess with mother nature
If you change one word, the whole sentence takes complete turn around
"You humans cut down my trees, I grow them then inside YOU"
@DatBoiSolar There was a guy with a tree growing out of his lungs no joke.
@@tarena397 nerd: actually according to my calculations “of your homes” are 3 words and you said to “replace a word” so please un-cuff me from the 50 ton steel handcuffs please

"Certain types of trees give off these little ... things that come off the tree and they grow another tree."
SEEDS! They're called SEEDS!
Could be referring to "suckering" which is when an existing plant's roots will sprout another plant (clone of the original). Poplar trees are known for this type of asexual reproduction.
@@goon8058 Yes, and for ferns, it's spores
@@goon8058 yeah but they don't drop those into gutters.
@@ethanholshouser5648 they travel thru wind and rain
🤣
This is so interesting.
yeah
Yes
It’s satisfying
Is it? Have you never cleaned gutters before?
My gutters r'nt interesting. They're clean.
Seems pretty simple and fun. If I had a dirty gutter I’d clean it myself
Ikr it looks so satisfying when it comes off 🤩
Anything above a single story height, it may be better to pay someone whose life is less valuable than mine. 😁
@@Engineer9736 everyone’s life is more valuable than yours
@@cascadia6260 I disagree
Among all the house chores, cleaning rain gutters is among the "fun" ones
Top tip. Take a bucket up the ladder instead of dropping the mud and debris on the floor and creating another cleaning up job.
But the bucket might get heavy and cause discomfort upstairs?
Put a plastic or tarp below the ladder then you can easily pack the debris up and throw it out
Drill holes in the bottom of the bucket keeps liquid out of bucket and keeps the bucket from getting heavy. Dump wet debris in trash bag when bucket gets about half full.
Was gonna say... Absolute no respect from the gardenning job underneath the ladder and dropping spot.
@@gaiapiou1384 it’s just mulch. We pick it up, completely. Too dangerous having one hand on the roof or ladder, because we are carrying a bucket.
Watching that water flow once the debris was cleared with so satisfying 😌
it makes my skin crawl that he's doing most of this without gloves on
Bro he just grabbing leaves😭☠️
@@om3dr1zzy65 2:13
@@argenta7658 oh
OmG, it's not like he's going through poop.
I did this once and my hands had some sort of prickly feeling afterwards, I'm not sure what did it...
Wow, the process is exactly what I expected it to be.
yeah we really needed an expert on this one
It’s more like, people pay him to do a dangerous job, because they rather see him die than themselves LOL
I've been working for a gutter company for the last 16 years. Lots of ups and downs!
How can I start ?
@@doughboijb9107 you don't want to!
So satisfying to watch! There's like whole trees growing up in there!
Poor plants 😭 be grateful that you’re not a plant that get pulled out
It's call roof gardening..
How you gonna call that "Deep Cleaned?" Man just pulled out some leaves and called it a day
Exactly 😂
For real, I would argue that that's just "average cleaned"
More like "unclogged"
Like yeah. That's the only things there lol :/
I mean what else did you expect? There's not many ways to "deep clean" a gutter lol
I have cleaned my own gutters for over twenty years. This is a great reminder as to why I do that, crazy amount of stuff in the gutters.
As a professional gutter cleaning company. This is all great information.
there was a plant growing in the gutter at my house, and it was practically unreachable
it eventually got so heavy that it broke the gutter
so that was fun
I don't know whether you would go to the trouble of saving what is clogging the guttering but it is very beneficial for gardening it is known as leaf mold it is a very healthy medium to grow plants
This is true but often the stuff clogging gutters also contains the material from shingle roofs, which can have plenty of harsh chemicals and fiberglass in it as well as bird feces.
Who knew that this was the video I needed to see today 😂
Word of advice: use a roof harness when on the roof.
There are a lot of people who do not or cannot do their own gutters. My husband and I used to do this kind of work. Quick easy money for anybody who's willing to work a little bit.
I have taken trash bags to the roof and went along the edge to get the wet debris out. I have also thrown it on the ground and cleaned it up afterwards. That really depended on what was under where I was working.
Fun stuff.
That's so cool Candi! Do you have any safety tips? Or any other types of tips?
@@Coffee_Is_Magic wear gloves!!!Use a water hose to flush the drains down sprout. You can walk all over the roof when it's dry and use the blower. Any big clumps you can spread out either on the ground with the rest of these or clean them up. 😉
Thanks @Candi 😊
@@katrinkaperkins1852 do you still do gutter cleaning ?
Thank you very helpful video. When my gutters were installed they put a barrier to block leaves and debris. Well this week it was pouring reallly bad when i got home and i noticed a bunch of water pouring over the sides. My entire gutters were full of dirt and plant material. Fun weekend Fun times. The barriers were nothing more than cheap grade chicken wire😅
Little trees be putting homeowners on blast. 🤣
Always use a u hook on the end of the ladder so it doesn’t rest on the gutter edge and dent it and use a bucket on a rope or something sloppy
People, You need to install the screen on top of the gutter and You won’t have this issue ever again !!
GOD LOVES YOU
@@robloxlover2748 Thank You !! 🙏🏻 God Loves you too.
You still have to clean the junk that gets on top of them. Also, good gutter guards can be expensive to install on a nice home. Over the long run, the homeowner can save money just by having someone come out and clean them a couple times a year rather than spending thousands of dollars to have gutter guards installed professionally.
Gutter guards help but depending on your situation you will still need to clean the eaves. They've reduced my cleaning to three to four times a season at the cabin.
Not working block the rain for get to the gutter jump out I had to remove them
Here in Oregon I found a pot plant growing out of this lady's gutter. The things you find In gutters.
Soooooo satisfying
Who knew that this was the video I needed to see today
Thanks for posting...exactly what I was looking for!
This is easy
The word you are looking for is "seed"
You can plant those mini trees from the gutters too
It can help the invironment
Bending gutters left & right leaning the ladder that way. Get support bars.
why do i find this satisfying
for one use a bucket dump it each trip down two don't rest your ladder against gutters it scratches them up use a ladder max standoff on ladder
Those were very wide & accessible gutters. Where I live half the gutter on most houses is covered by tiles.
Same as mine my hand not fit ,roof tile too long half way gutter, no much space for my hand, must use tongs
I have leaf guards on mine, and it makes cleaning them out a breeze.
I climb up a ladder, get my hose out on full stream, and blast that crap right out. After, a nice rinse with some diluted white vinegar or dish soap.
THIS IS HELLA SATISFYING
So wait, a PROFESSIONAL gutter cleaning company leans their ladder directly on the gutters?!?
Well I guess if you smash them, cleaning won’t be necessary.
Genius!😵💫
Great informative video thank you!
😍
guy got a whole farm growing in the gutter
I have done this before on a 3 story house in the woods. I put on gutter screens so I wouldn't have to do that again.
what is connection between gutters and water in basement ?
Water running down the side of the house right to the foundation. Gutters prevent this but if they are clogged water overflows.
The purpose of gutters is to redirect rainwater away from the house because a dry foundation is essential to the integrity of the stucture.
Great informative video thank you!
Use a ladder standoff so you don't damage the eavestrough.
sometimes trees give off these things that grow other trees
that's a seed. It's called a seed.
Leafguard is gonna become a pretty decent business for some of the older folks.
in UK we use powerful vacuum to avoid messing around the customer property
Nice video thank you sir for sharing your knowledge and time
More satisfying than Dr Pimple Popper
Lucky for you that many houses in the US are 1-2 stories..... bc for my home there would be 4 stories in some parts....(would you climb on the roof in that case? Because a ladder would be more dangerous i guess)
I'm surprised u don't use the ladder attachment that sits on the roof so u don't crush the gutters while cleaning them
I didn’t know know there was such an attachment thanks I’ll check Home Depot
I like The penny test
help its to satisfying for my brain to process
So no one gonna talk about how beautiful this house is lol
Post10 will be proud
Why does it look like cookies n’ cream flavored ice cream? 2:22
❤ ❤ Great ! thank you for sharing. Hope to accompany you in the future🙏🙏🙏🙏
Gutter guards, haven't cleaned my gutters in 10 years and their spotless
when you use the dry cleaning technique with a blower, do you clean the rubbish you have left behind?
I clean my gutters like 10 times in the fall. When you have a giant tree near your house it fills every damn week.
Sounds like me!
“Trees are growing out of the gutter and the roots can put a lot of weight on the gutter and rip the gutter off the house”
(As they rest a ladder right on the gutter)
Ngl this looks fun
As satisfying to watch as pimple popping.
I just got done doing my biannual gutter cleaning. Sad thing is that I do have gutter guards, but they were not designed for pine needles. At all. How was I supposed to know that leaf guards are not necessarily pine needle guards? More importantly, which are better? I hate having to redo a project, but looks like it is a necessity as my body doesn't like ladder work anymore.
this is where I hide my berry farm SO TAKE THAT THEFT NEIGHBOURS
I wonder if the company uses any type of fall protection when working on roofs, falling off a roof is a very common injury for people that work on roofs.
Do you rake up the mess after you blow it out . Do you charge more to bucket the trash ?
Can you just install oversized downspout outlets along with 6" downspouts on 5" gutters? That way,you get a self cleaning action when it rains.
Thank you
I use a large Rigid 14 gallon wet dry vacuum with gutter cleaning attachment
Tree: grow on gutter:
Dirt block the gutter
Human: aghhh
Tree: haha,you cut our trees now we grow on your gutter
Human: !
I got one three foot tall tree that had a root run ten teen down the gutter!
Great vid. Good info.
So you not only have plastic gutters but when the rain water pours out of the downpipe it flows directly on the ground next to the foundation or basement?
Maybe you want to consider leading it away a bit so it can seep away where it does no harm or even better lead it in some sort of sewerage system?
That's why it is graded around your foundation at a pitch so the water flows away from your house.
That would be the homeowners responsibility.
Im very confused that there's so little professionalism to this job. Anyone could do this by themselves.
They don't even bring a bucket, instead they just throw the debris on the yard/plantation.
Also there are specific gutter cleaning attachments for leaf blowers but they also don't have those
Once, my house had these plants. I decided to clean them when the next door neighbor came with a professional cleaners and told me that she would pay them to clean it. I cleaned it myself next-day.
1:32 if this man ever discovers seeds his minds gonna be blown
Great Job
why don't the roof just cover the gutter so rain and dirt just fall off? I live in an apartment so I don't know how houses work sorry😅
Because if the roof covered the gutters, the water would flow right off the roof past the gutter tops and onto the ground, rendering them useless.
@@whiteknightcat im sorry same question, i live in another country too.
then why not just extend the roof anyway & have no gutters?
@@ek9826 Because the whole purpose of guttering is to redirect water away from the edges of the house. With my house, for example, there's a curtain of water running off the roof across the front entrance when it rains, making entry and exit difficult. Gutters will cure this (when they get installed WEEKS from now - there's a metal shortage now).
In other cases, some houses suffer from foundation or basement damage from water accumulating from roof runoff. Gutters, downspouts, and runoff systems will direct the water away from the foundation, saving lots of money and headaches.
Never set a extension ladder on gutter, it could bend and make you fall plus ruin the gutter. I know from past experience!!
wow, this seems so much harder than cleaning it in power wash simulator
"be proactive, not reactive. If you're the later, it's already too late." non verbatim but never truer.
Thanks for the post but 2 or 3 times a year seems excessive unless you live in a rain forest
1:35 wow!! Maybe, I don’t know, a seed?
What would you charge per foot to clean gutters $2.00 a foot?
Leaf guards don't work good enough?
Hey man, I know this was 2 years ago but don't ever rely on a ladder to rest on a gutter you'll end up with some broken bones like me lolm
From CT here aswell looking to start up some type of business or startup with cleaning gutters thanks for the video
Are you going to get an llc?
Didnt even know this type of job actualy exist.
grandpa: go clean my gutters
hold up lemme watch this 5 min video real quick
How much do you charge to clean 100 feet of gutters that’s 20 feet high???
Do you happen to see power lines 2 metres above ground ?
This marking with orange flags looks bizzare
I just have one question I watch a lot of videos like this. Why don’t you guys use a bag on your leaf blower in collectively use instead of blowing them in the customers yard
1:31 Something tells me that he figured this out by himself
My grandpa had me and my brother clean the gutters on his house and we found rocks! And toy cars, pencils, paper clips and and the usual leaves
Some gutter are narrow no room to put hand in mine are this way find hard to clean
Who just watched this for the satisfying cleaning montage?
me at 3 a.m looking for a good vid
Gloves?
