Abstract: A roof gutter clearing system includes an insert situated atop a roof gutter, the insert including filtering means for allowing passage of water and retaining debris, the insert being eversible by rotation about hinges, the eversion causing the ejection of debris. The roof gutter clearing system includes a spring assembly to drive the eversion of the insert by transmission of force stored in at least one spring and an actuation assembly to tension the spring assembly and release the spring assembly to drive the eversion of the insert. A method of clearing a roof gutter of debris including the steps of trapping debris in an eversible insert, the insert being situated atop the roof gutter and operatively connected to a tensioned spring assembly; and releasing the spring assembly to apply eversive force against the insert to cause eversion of the insert and ejection of the debris.
