What’s the best way to clear leaves off of my outdoor drains and gutters during rainy season?

Answer

Uh what's the best way to cut uh just leaves? And uh I think the best way um you know from a plumbing standpoint if there's anything near your drains I think just to pull what you can and if you think there's stuff inside your drain call a plumber. They can run um you know a little drain cleaning system or a jetting to clean out all the debris that's getting in from your leaves and your roots and stuff like that.
