Abstract
An automatic gutter cleaning system for cleaning a rain valley, gutter or drainage channel with a medium, such as air or water. The system includes carrying apparatus for carrying the medium through nozzles into the gutter or channel. The medium flushes the debris located in the valley or gutter either out of the valley or gutter or down the gutter through the down spouts. The system is automatically operated by a controller that either controls the frequency the medium is sent to the nozzles or turns on the system due to inputs from a monitoring means that monitors whether debris is or isn't present in the valley or gutter.
