Clean your gutters regularly!
What happens here
Begin by visually inspecting the rain gutters along the roofline of a building. Look for clear indicators of debris accumulation. The most obvious sign of severe clogging, as highlighted in the video, is the presence of plant life, such as weeds or even small saplings, growing directly out of the gutters. Specifically, if these weeds are observed to be 6 to 10 inches in height, it indicates a substantial buildup of organic material and soil, signifying that the gutters are thoroughly blocked and require immediate cleaning. This observation serves as a critical assessment point for recommending or undertaking gutter maintenance.
Goal: Identify blocked gutters through visual signs of vegetation
