Gutter Cleaning
Melbourne Expert Gutter Cleaners
Not just blown out from the ground. Every gutter is hand-cleared along its full length, and every downpipe is checked to make sure water actually gets away.
Why it matters
A blocked gutter isn't just an eyesore
Most people only think about their gutters when water is already coming over the edge. Here's what a full gutter is actually doing in the meantime.
Fire risk in leaf litter
Dry leaves sitting in a gutter are exactly what catches embers during fire season. Councils and the CFA recommend gutters cleared before the fire danger period starts.
Water damage to the fascia and eaves
Overflow runs straight down the wall instead of the downpipe, rotting timber fascia and staining rendered walls over time.
Mosquitoes and vermin
Standing water in a blocked gutter breeds mosquitoes, and a bed of wet leaf litter is exactly what rats and possums nest in.
Blocked downpipes, pooling at the base
If the downpipe itself is choked, water has nowhere to go and pools right where your foundations are.
What's included
Every gutter, cleared properly
Hand-cleared, full length
Not just blown out from the ground. Every section is checked and cleared by hand.
Downpipes checked and flushed
Every outlet tested with water to confirm it actually drains, not just that the gutter looks empty.
Valleys and box gutters included
The hidden spots that block up first and get missed by a ground-level blow-out.
Debris bagged and taken away
Cleared off the roof and out of the yard, not left in a pile below the downpipe.
Worth knowing
Why you should get your gutters cleaned
A blocked gutter mostly just means water goes where it is not meant to when it rains, overflowing down a wall or pooling somewhere it should not. Leave it long enough and it is a bigger job to sort out, but it is rarely anything more dramatic than that. The build up of leaves and grit also holds moisture against the roofline, which is cheap to deal with early and annoying to deal with late.
The detail
Cleared isn't the same as draining
A gutter can look empty and still have a choked downpipe underneath. We test with water, not just a visual check.
