Did you know that we had a feature in the ‘Winter Garden’ section of the Kingborough Chronicle and Huon News? Gutter-Vac Southern Tasmania offers a professional and courteous vacuum cleaning service for commercial and domestic gutters, roofs, solar panels, downpipes, stormwater drains, and lots more.
Gutter cleaning is a task that is required all year round. Different areas require a clean at certain times of the year due to weather conditions, trees in the vicinity and the type of tree it is. Winter in Tasmania is a busy time for us with the rain and the Autumn and Winter leaves falling. It is not just trees though, moss builds up in the gutters due to the significant amount of moisture and limited sunlight that gets into the gutters.
Here are a few snippets from the article:
“To clean your gutters, we use a specialised vacuum system that gets rid of leafy debris and removes mud, dirt and sludge that sits in the bottom of your gutters.”
“The sludge can cause serious problems, not only with overflowing or blocked gutters but also with rust and long-lasting irreparable damage.”
“We remove and clean it all, which means your gutters can do the job that they were intended for!”
“In recognition for their dedication to customer satisfaction, Gutter-Vac Southern Tasmania were presented as winners for Franchisee of the Year 2018 and the Customer Service Award 2022, from a total of more than 80 other franchisees Australia-wide.”
“For the Dobson’s and their team, safety is always key when it comes to working at heights on potentially dangerous surfaces.”
“It might seem like a good idea to grab a ladder and clean your gutters yourself, but without the required training, it can be dangerous.”
“Many accidents around the home occur on a ladder, saving a few dollars on professional gutter cleaning isn’t worth the risk of injury.”
Don’t risk a fall, give Gutter-Vac Southern Tasmania a call at 1300 654 253.
“Thank you for cleaning my gutters. Exceptional service! They are the best they’ve been in a long time! The photos are great and the report very professional. I’ve already referred two people to you!”

Lichens are unique organisms that consist of a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. The growth of lichens is influenced by several factors:
Environmental Conditions
Lichens can be found in a wide range of habitats, from Arctic tundra to tropical rainforests. However, they are particularly common in environments where other plants struggle to survive, such as rocky surfaces, tree trunks, and barren soils, which is probably why they grow particularly well on rooftops. Lichens are known for their ability to tolerate extreme conditions, including low nutrient availability, high or low temperatures, and desiccation.
Symbiotic Relationship
Lichens are formed when a fungus and an algal or cyanobacterial partner come together in a mutualistic relationship. The fungus provides a protected environment and absorbs water and nutrients from the surroundings. The algal or cyanobacterial partner, in turn, performs photosynthesis and produces organic compounds that nourish both partners. This partnership enables lichens to colonise and grow in nutrient-poor environments.
Reproduction
Lichens can reproduce through various methods, including vegetative growth and fragmentation. In vegetative growth, the lichen spreads as the fungal and algal or cyanobacterial components divide and grow. Fragmentation occurs when parts of the lichen break off and are carried off by the wind to establish new colonies in suitable locations.
Slow Growth Rate
Lichens are generally slow-growing organisms. Their growth rate can vary significantly depending on environmental conditions, species, and age. Lichens can take years or even decades to reach a noticeable size. Their slow growth contributes to their longevity and ability to withstand harsh conditions over long periods. If you have small patches of lichen growing, treat it now and don’t wait for it to spread. You will save money on the treatment and the reparation of any damaged roof that has deteriorated under the growth.
Overall, lichens are highly adaptable organisms that have evolved to occupy niches where other plants struggle. Their unique symbiotic relationship, tolerance to extreme conditions, and slow growth rate enable them to persist and thrive in diverse habitats.

Gutter-Vac Northern and Southern Tasmania can help you with treating and controlling lichen. It is not a quick fix but in the long term, you can gain control over the growth and take your roof back.
“Therese was fantastic with the quotation and moving the date forward when an opening was available. Chris sent an SMS and was able to come earlier in the day which suited us. All round communication was excellent, and a very professional service was delivered to our home.”
David at Newnham, Tasmania
Our schedule fills up very fast and we offer our clients a booking with an option to bring the work forward if we can.
As our work is weather dependant, we often need to move work due to bad weather. If the weather is good to us, then we have a day up our sleeves to bring work forward. This system works very well unless we have very bad weather for days at a time.
We especially like to help bring forward work for our clients in the north where we can, as our schedule is very full in this area.
Gutter cleaning is an important task that should not be ignored or taken lightly. Here are some concerns related to gutter cleaning that you should be aware of:
Safety concerns: Gutter cleaning can be a hazardous task, especially if you have a multi-story home. Climbing ladders to reach gutters can result in falls, which can cause serious injuries or even death. It is important to take necessary safety precautions when cleaning gutters, such as wearing proper gear, using sturdy ladders, and having a spotter nearby. Why take the risk, when the professionals know how to approach the work and are trained in working at heights?
Health concerns: Gutter cleaning can expose you to various types of debris, including mould, bacteria, and other harmful substances. If you have allergies or respiratory issues, cleaning gutters can exacerbate these conditions. It is important to wear protective gear, such as gloves and a mask, to prevent exposure to harmful substances.
Property damage: If gutters are not cleaned regularly, they can become clogged with debris, causing water to overflow and damage your property. Water damage can be expensive to repair and can lead to mould growth and other problems.
Time and effort: Gutter cleaning can be a time-consuming and labour-intensive task, especially if you have a large home or multiple buildings on your property. It may be more efficient and cost-effective to hire a professional to clean your gutters
Overall, gutter cleaning is an important task that should not be overlooked. By taking necessary safety precautions, wearing protective gear, and properly maintaining your gutters, you can ensure that your property remains protected from water damage and other issues.

Winter gutter cleaning is an important task that should not be overlooked. During the winter months, gutters can become clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris. This can lead to blockages and icy dams. Ice dams occur when water freezes in the gutters, creating a blockage that prevents water from flowing properly. This can cause water to back up and seep into your roof, causing damage to your home’s interior.

To prevent these issues, it’s important to clean your gutters regularly during the winter months if you have a lot of trees in the vicinity. You can do this yourself by using a ladder, gloves, and a scoop to remove debris from the gutters. It’s important to be careful when using a ladder, as winter conditions can make it slippery and dangerous.
Alternatively, you can hire a professional to clean your gutters for you. They will have the tools and expertise needed to safely and effectively clean your gutters, reducing the risk of damage to your home or injury to yourself.
Regardless of how you choose to clean your gutters, it’s important to make sure the task is done regularly, whether it be every month, three months, annually, bi-annually, or even every five years. Maintaining clean gutters will prevent damage and keep your home in good condition.
