cleaning gutters

Clearing leaf-clogged channels

Cleaning gutters is the task of removing leaves, debris, and blockages from the rain gutters along a roof's edge.

It's routine home maintenance, typically done seasonally to prevent water damage: I spent Saturday afternoon cleaning gutters.

The chore involves ladders and reaching into muck, making it a common example of unglamorous but necessary work.
