2 Pack - Gutter Cleaner Shovel - Makes the job easy and clean!
It's a job that just has to be done. With fall coming, that means lots of leaves to clog up those gutters! But, that's not all that will be in there! All sorts of things that you most likely don't want to touch. Instead, use the hand tool that is designed precisely for the job. It is a slim line gutter shovel that will slide along inside the guttering and scoop up anything in its path. The gutter shovel has an extended, slightly curved lip to collect leaves, moss and general debris quickly and easily.
In addition, because of its size and proportions the gutter shovel has also been found to be handy for scooping up quantities of potting compost, bird seed and pet food. You will receive two shovels per order.
However you choose to get the job done, it's important that you don't let your gutters get clogged!
Issues Caused by Clogged Gutters:
Leaking Basements and Cracked Foundations: Did you know that clogged gutters are the number one cause of basement water leaks? Did you also know that most home insurance policies do not cover water damage caused by leaking roofs or clogged gutters? If your gutters do not move water away from your foundation, the puddling water will just be standing there against your foundation, causing it to weaken and eventually crack. We know homeowners who have spent thousands of dollars to repair flood damage caused by clogged gutters.
Rotted Wood: When gutters are filled to the top with debris, the debris acts as a wick, and continually draws moisture up to the wood fascia boards and even up to the roof sheathing and framing boards. The result is rotting wood, sometimes visible, but frequently hidden from view until the roof starts leaking or the gutters start to sag or fall off.
Breeding Ground for Insects, Plants and Critters: Debris left in a gutter can create a dam, causing ponds of water inside your gutters. These conditions are ideal for breeding mosquitos and other insects. Some critters such as mice and birds also like to make their homes in clogged gutters. Some gutters have been clogged so long that plants and trees start growing in them.
Sagging Driveways and Walkways: When clogged gutters overflow, the water can settle near driveways, walkways, and foundations, instead of being diverted away from your house. Over time, this water can get under the concrete and wash some of the soil away, causing sagging and cracking.
