Gutter cleaning is very important
Everything that goes down stormwater drains ends up untreated in our rivers, lakes and the ocean.
Pollutants in stormwater are having a disastrous impact on all aquatic life, not only harming fish, plants and wildlife but reducing the water quality for humans. The rotting debris that fills your gutters is extremely high in nutrients. While those nutrients are fantastic for your gardens, they aren’t fantastic for our creeks and rivers. In fact, they are a pollutant.
If your gutters are full of debris when it rains two things can happen-your gutters & downpipes may get blocked, possibly flooding your ceiling and damaging your property or the nutrient-rich waste from your gutters will wash into the stormwater drains and pollute our waterways.

Gutter cleaning reduces waterway pollution
Gutter cleaning reduces the volume of chemicals entering our waterways. Rotting gutter debris is extremely high in nutrients that pollute rivers, lakes and oceans. Nutrient pollutants in storm water are having a disastrous impact on all aquatic life, not only harming fish, plants and wildlife, but reducing the water quality for humans.
You can do your part by keeping your gutters clean.
Water tank contamination
Cleaning your gutters will reduce the amount of debris entering your water tank.
Without clean gutters, all the water-born debris from your gutters will flow straight into your rainwater tank and contaminate your water supply.
In addition to cleaning your gutters to reduce water tank contamination, Gutter-Vac can also provide water tank cleaning services.
