Keeping your gutter in good condition should be a top priority. If leaves and debris clog your gutter, your foundation, siding and roof are at risk of water damage. While you may want to climb up the ladder yourself, remember that this can put your safety at serious risk.
The Risks of Cleaning Gutters by Yourself
Studies by the Consumer Product Safety Commission show that more than 90,000 people annually suffer ladder-related injuries that send them to the emergency room. Proper ladder safety precautions, like making sure your ladder is secure and keeping three limbs in contact with the ladder at all times, will help. Nevertheless, remember that you are taking your safety in your own hands if you clean your gutters by yourself.
Cleaning your gutters is also a physically demanding job. The repeated climbing and descending can aggravate existing joint problems. If you’re concerned about physical issues or the danger of climbing up a ladder, then contact Gutter Helmet® of Minnesota to do the job.
