If your downspouts are already clogged you will need to unclog them prior to beginning the remainder of the job. A snake can do the job, however if your gutters are piped under ground you may want to consider a set of sewer jetting accessories. These tools will allow you to use your pressure washers power to remove the clog. You can also use these tools for unclogging sewer lines as well. Once you have removed all the debris from your gutters using the gutter attachment, rinse your way back to the downspout and double check for clogs.

Wait the recommended chemical work time then using both your green or white tip and the correct length extension wand pressure wash away the gunk.
