How often do you see houses without gutters? Recently, a family friend removed our gutters because the upkeep schedule became too overwhelming to maintain. Our home is surrounded by pine trees and so the gutters filled up with pine straw and leaves faster than we could keep them clean. If you have never stopped to consider the reason gutters exist, it's so water doesn't fall directly onto the soil and create a small trench in the outline of your home. The downspouts function to disperse the water into the soil evenly so that plants, grass, etc can utilize the water efficiently. Our home, however, has bushes on almost every side that sit rather close to the house. A trench, therefore, is less likely to form since water will first hit the bushes and disperse more evenly as it reaches the ground. So, our gutters came off. While watching this process I learned a lot about gutter maintenance and removal. First, you have to make sure you have thick gloves, safety glasses, a very tall and sturdy ladder, the correct drill, screwdriver, crowbar, and/or bolt cutter. Second, this is not something you want to try alone. Make sure you have a helper or someone ready to assist in the case of an emergency. Third, do not attempt gutter removal or maintenance in poor weather conditions such as rain or strong winds.
