A gutter cleaning company will repair any broken places in the gutters. Some neighborhood associations will get together and charge an upfront fee for gutter cleaning. This will cut down on individual costs to the homeowner. If you get a clog, use a plumbing snake to remove the clog. Once it's cleared, continue to remove the debris. Most homeowners view gutters as "out of sight, out of mind" but gutter cleaning is a vital part of any home maintenance routine and should be overlooked or avoided. Gutter cleaning prevents wood rot. We do not like to hear this word because it can cost us good money! If the gutters aren't draining properly, there's good chance water is running behind the gutters, hitting the trim work and anything else that's wood. Wood mixed with constant water flow and moisture is a recipe for wood rot. When the wood starts to rot, gutters can start to sag due to the loosening of the nails.   
If you don't feel comfortable on a ladder then you may need to use a pressure washer. A pressure washer can be used to get the leaves out of the gutter.     You can even use an old kitchen spatula to clean out the gutters. Be sure to clear out the downspouts before you rinse the leaves out. If this is not done, there may be a clog. Most renters don't consider how lucky they are not to have to bother with yard maintenance, home repair, and gutter cleaning. Your roof should be checked at least twice a year. The best times are in the transitional seasons of spring and summer. Because your roof is responsible for keeping your house dry and watertight, it's important to make sure there are no potential problems that could result in expensive repairs. Your gutters are an important part of that process.
