Gutter Cleaning FAQ'S

  • 1. How Important is Gutter Cleaning?

    Roof gutters are an integral feature of your property. Gutters and valleys direct water flow to a drainage point, away from your roof, exterior walls, and foundation of the structure. As necessary as gutters are for your home, they can create their own problems if they aren’t maintained. Over time conditions can cause your gutters and down-pipes to become blocked with leaf litter and other organic debris. The complications and damage resulting from blocked gutters and down-pipes can be very costly, with repairs ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Remove all the stress, worry, and potential risks of not having your gutters and down-pipes ready for rainfall.

  • 2. What will you use to clean my gutters?

    We use a powerful industrial gutter vacuum machine. This, on average, reduces job-time ultimately saving you money, and is the most effective method to clean gutters.

  • 3. Do i need to be home?

    We can carry out work without you being at the property. If you have verandahs at the back of your property that need to be cleaned from a ladder then we will need access to the back of your property.

  • 4. How often do i need my gutters cleaned?

    For most properties once a year is adequate but for properties with frequent leaf fall then twice a year is advisable. Every property should be assessed individually.

  • 5. Can you clean my gutters with gutter guard on?

    That depends on the material that the gutter guard is made from and whether they are fixed to the gutters or roof. Houses with gutter guard can take considerably longer so extra hourly charges may apply.

  • 6. How often should I book a gutter cleaning service?

    Generally speaking, you should book a roof gutter cleaning job every 3-6 months. How often depends on where your home or business is located and whether or not there are any high trees nearby. When a Tradesman Pacific specialist cleans your gutters, we can recommend a cleaning schedule that suits your location.

  • 7. How long does a gutter cleaning take?

    There is no set time for a job to be done since there are so many different kinds of houses/buildings as well as many variables in the amount of cleaning required. An average house usually takes 2 hours.

  • 8. What is the purpose of gutters?

    The purpose of gutters is to carry rainwater from your roof, down the side of your home/building and safely away from the foundations. Without gutters, water could leak inside your home/building and potentially cause flooding or foundation problems. Water leaking into the eaves can often go undetected before it causes leaks inside your home by water shooting everywhere. The fascia boards or rafters can also begin to rot from the water constantly dripping. In addition, the sides of your home/building will weather much faster from the excess water beating on the side. The downpipes should drain the water from the foundation of your home/building, safely away from frequently used sidewalks/driveways.
