Are the roofs walkable?
We use back pack blowers and we will have a small extension pole, like a painter pole with a hook on t ( we use the little painters sausage roller handles from Lowes, theres a 3" or a 4" roller handle, use the 3" one it goes in the gutter better) With the pole & hook and blower you can get everything out. Blower gets most the stuff and hook helps if they are stuffed with debris. We also use an electrician fish, when needed to check the down spout elbow and then we go and check lower downspouts and clear them is needed. Sometimes we'll dismantle partd of downspouts if needed
Usually we dont need to flush with water, but if they are packed with shingle granules you may have to flush and the stuff can make a mess
Then go around with blower and trash bag for on ground cleanup of gutter debris
Be careful on walking roofs, but backpack blower are great for gutter cleaning
I love large gutter cleaning jobs
