Do you look in the corners and see debris growing?

Valleys also collect debris and cause issues.

The valley runs to an inside corner and pushes debris down into the gutter which can in turn cause a dam.

When this debris is not cleared, it could cause issues such as blockages and overflows, either over the edge of the gutter causing damage to gardens or the sides of the house or water ingress into the roof and wall cavities. The gutters rust and the valleys and roof deteriorate under the loading of debris.

Even when the grass dies off and goes brown, it remains in the gutter slowly causing deterioration and blockage issues from the dead root system.

Pine needles should be cleaned regularly to keep them from building up in the gutter. This build-up blocks the gutter preventing water flow through the gutters. It also makes gutter cleaning an easier task each time as it is not compact and much simpler to remove. This photo is four months of debris on the roof valleys and in the gutter.

As you can see it is important to clean your gutters to keep them doing their job. Corners can cause build-up but straight gutter can get just as much in them too. 

So when you see growth poking up over the edges, don’t leave it too long to get those gutters cleaned.

“I was rapt that Gutter-Vac not only came on the day that they were expected but actually rang me to see if they could come a little earlier. I was not at home but my very particular mother (in a wonderful way) was here when the work was carried out. She was very impressed with the process and the service provider who attended. There was no debris left anywhere. We were sent a photo of the gutter on two sides of the house showing they were clean. The bill arrived soon after, which I also appreciated because when I have the funds I like to pay as soon as I can. Overall, a great experience.”

Kath, North Hobart, Tas

Our team at Gutter-Vac Tasmania make it a priority to keep our customers in the loop. If we are running ahead or behind schedule, we strive to communicate this with our customers. This is important as some clients like to be on site when our technicians arrive to complete work. Clients do not have to be home for us to carry out our work, as long as they don’t mind us being there without them and we have access to the roof.

The office team works hard to send out invoices, reports and photos with in a 24 hr turn around, as we know how much our customers appreciate receiving them. The report can be useful to identify the condition the gutters are in and if any work is required. The photos give peace of mind that the work has been done. It is surprising how many customers that are amazed at how much debris their gutters hold.

Thank you, Kath, for your kind feedback. 

“A faultless experience. Professional with a capital P in all respects. It is refreshing in this day and age to deal with people who know what they are doing and do it so well. I refer here not only to the clean itself but to pre and post service, communication, documentation, follow-up etc.”

“Thanks Zach and the Gutter Vac team for your consistent response times, care and skill in rejuvenating our gutters. The condition report and before and after photos are much appreciated. Zach, you went above and beyond while wrestling the weather to get the job done in a timely fashion for us. Well done.” 

Andrew, Campania TAS

Andrew had water ingress and required a gutter clean. The weather has not been kind of late and it was a rainy day when Zach went out to Campania. The weather was supposed to improve as the day progressed. 

Zach worked off the ladder to remove debris by hand. Then he used our ground workers system to vacuum the gutters clean. He cleaned the house like this and finally the sun came out and he was able to finish the job on the garage roof by vacuum cleaning those gutters from the roof.

Working in the rain is not fun and when we get such lovely feedback like this, it makes it worthwhile.
