One of the most difficult and hated tasks for many homeowners is cleaning out the gutters. Every time there is rain, snow, wind or other weather event, your gutters fill with water, leaves, dirt, and other debris from your yard. When yard waste gets in your gutters, it prevents them from doing their job – allowing water to flow through them away from the exterior of your home and its foundation.

On average, the Minneapolis area gets approximately 32 inches of rain each year and more than 52 inches of snow. This translates into more than 110 days each year with precipitation. Of course, we try to avoid the rain and snow, staying inside during heavy precipitation, using umbrellas, rain jackets and snow gear to protect us from the elements.
