Gutter Cleans

Ensuring your Gutter are clean and clear from debris plays many important roles for your property.

The main role of house guttering is the collection and directing of rain water during rainfall. For most properties your gutters are connected directly to the towns storm water system which helps stop the build-up of ground water that can cause flash flooding.

Reasons to ensure your gutters are regularly cleaned are;

  • The Sunshine Coast has an average rainfall of approximately 1.5meters per year.
  • When gutters are full of leaves and other debris they do not freely flow and during heavy rain water can build up and overflow the guttering dropping excess water onto the ground. Over time this can potentially cause erosion and undermining of foundations, premature rusting of guttering resulting in costly repairs, water being held in guttering causing mould, and also providing breeding spots for mosquitos and other pests.
  • Overflowing gutters can also go the other way and cause water to flow into eaves and down wall cavities, not only causing physical damage but also potentially attracting unwanted pests to the house, including Termites, Rodents, Spiders and Ants.
  • Rural Properties on tank water will definitely benefit from clean guttering as they rely on the use of water collected from their roof. Clean gutters will ensure the cleanest possible water for personal use.
