Observe discharge points
From ground level, note overflow, disconnected sections or erosion near outlets.
Plan cleaning based on exposure
Trees and roof geometry can change debris accumulation.
Do not normalize ladder risk
Where access requires height work, use appropriate qualified service.
Connect the task to drainage
The goal is controlled runoff away from vulnerable areas, subject to local drainage rules.
