Bush Fire Prevention- Is Gutter Cleaning on Your List?

Do you know what is in your gutters?

Dry debris is fuel for an ember attack. Why take the risk?

Living in an area with lots of trees will undoubtedly fill your gutters. It is a good idea to clear them every year in preparation for the summer months.

Embers can travel great distances and if there is a fire in the vicinity, you could be at risk with debris in the gutters.

Dry fuel could easily catch alight with an ember attack

Now Is The Time To Be Preparing For Summer…Get a Gutter Clean

As the weather starts to get warmer, the leave litter dries out. If you have debris in your gutters then you have a fire hazard.

The above photo was taken by one of our technicians at Electrona, this week, when he was completing a gutter cleaning service. It was just across the highway in the bushy scrub.

He was on the roof, vacuum cleaning the gutters, when the smoke became too thick at a two storey height. He continued the gutter clean with our ground working system.

The technician also made mention of the embers flying around in the air. One small ember that lands on some dry debris in your gutter could easily ignite.

Don’t get caught at the last minute to have your gutters cleaned. This is a very busy season. To ensure that your work is carried out before the threat of fire or ember attack, make an appointment today.

Bushfire season is here

It looks like we are shaping up for a very hot summer this year and with that, the droughts throughout the country, it is not the best combination for anyone.

We have already seen massive fires in South-West WA and in Adelaide this year and I have a feeling this will not be the last we see of bushfires.

It only takes one ember to start a fire that can destroy your home.  That leafy debris that is now dry in your gutters poses a real danger during a bushfire.  The bushfire doesn’t even need to be close as live embers can travel quite some distance to ignite dry debris.

Don’t take the chance this year, give your local Gutter-Vac man a call and get your gutters cleaned in preparation for the summer.  We really don’t want to see you lose your home.  We REALLY don’t want to see anyone lose their life from something as easy as having your gutters cleaned.

Take care this summer.

Fire Risk Reduction

Removing gutter debris reduces the risk of spreading fire. Fire departments recommend property owners regularly clean their gutters to reduce the risk of spreading fire.

During a fire, embers from burning bushland become airborne and are carried away by the hot wind, landing miles away. In a wildfire, it is the embers that typically cause more home fires than flames from the initial blaze.

Gutter cleaning can reduce the fire risks at your property. When your gutters are full of leaves, the wind will blow them over the back of the gutters and into the ceiling of your home.  Leaves in this area are a genuine fire hazard.

In Australia, fire prevention is a big issue and we have seen many out of control bushfires take hold of many homes.  Don’t let yours be one of them.  Whether you are in a bushfire prone area or not, it is better to be safe than sorry and make sure your gutters are cleaned to reduce the risk of a devastating fire that takes your home.
