A comprehensive checklist for commercial gutter cleaning services

Posted on by Benjamin Bretlen

Maintaining clean and functional gutters is essential for any commercial property. Neglecting this critical aspect of building maintenance can lead to severe consequences, including water damage, structural issues, and costly repairs. To ensure your commercial gutters are in top shape, follow this comprehensive checklist for commercial gutter cleaning services.

1. Schedule Regular Inspections

The first step in maintaining your commercial gutters is to schedule regular inspections. Depending on your location and the surrounding environment, it’s advisable to inspect your gutters at least twice a year, preferably in the spring and autumn. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they become major problems.

2. Clear Debris and Blockages

Leaves, twigs, dirt, and other debris can accumulate in your gutters, leading to blockages and preventing proper water flow. Ensure that all debris is thoroughly removed during each cleaning session. Use appropriate tools such as gutter scoops, brushes, and leaf blowers to clear the gutters.

3. Check for Signs of Damage

Inspect the gutters for any signs of damage, such as cracks, holes, rust, or loose sections. Pay special attention to joints and seams, as these are common areas where leaks can develop. Repair any damage promptly to prevent further deterioration.

4. Ensure Proper Water Flow

After cleaning the gutters, test them by running water through the system to ensure proper flow. This will help identify areas where water is not draining correctly, indicating potential blockages or sagging sections. Adjust and repair as necessary to ensure smooth water flow.

5. Inspect Downpipes and Extensions

Downpipes and extensions are crucial in directing water away from the building’s foundation. Ensure that downpipes are free from obstructions and securely attached to the gutters. Check that extensions are correctly positioned to divert water away from the building.

6. Examine Gutter Hangers and Brackets

Gutter hangers and brackets provide support and stability to the gutter system. Check for any loose or damaged hangers and brackets, and tighten or replace them as needed. Properly secured gutters are less likely to sag or detach during heavy rain.

7. Assess Fascia and Soffits

Fascia boards and soffits are vulnerable to water damage if gutters are not functioning correctly. Inspect these areas for signs of rot, mould, or water stains. Address any issues immediately to prevent further damage to the building’s structure.

8. Verify Gutter Guards

If your commercial property is equipped with gutter guards, ensure they are in good condition and effectively preventing debris from entering the gutters. Clean and repair gutter guards as necessary to maintain their functionality.

9. Document and Report Findings

After completing the inspection and cleaning, document any issues or repairs made. Providing a detailed report to property management or building owners helps maintain a record of gutter maintenance and highlights any areas that may require future attention.

10. Schedule Professional Cleaning

While regular DIY inspections and cleanings are essential, it’s also crucial to schedule professional gutter cleaning services at least once a year. Professional cleaners have the expertise, tools, and equipment to thoroughly clean and inspect commercial gutters, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Vacuum Cleaning Gutters on Commercial Properties

Posted on by Warren Ballantyne

Many people when they first learn about Gutter-Vac assume we clean just gutters on residential houses – and we do and we love our residential customers – but did you know that approximately 70% of our work is on commercial properties?

The biggest reason that commercial property managers like to use Gutter-Vac is because of our safety.  Absolutely they want our vacuum gutter cleaning system efficiencies and effectiveness, but safety is a must on a commercial property.

A lot of commercial properties are much higher than the average family home and in a setting that could be open to the public or with other people working in the same area, so understanding how to work safely at heights as well as in general public areas is a must.

What are the sort of commercial properties that we regularly vacuum clean the gutters on.

  • Hospitals
  • Schools
  • Warehouses
  • Defence Force bases and buildings
  • Local City Councils
  • Retirement homes / Lifestyle Villages
  • Townhouses / Apartment buildings
  • Pubs/Hotels
  • Sheds and rural properties
  • Horse stables / Livestock Farms
  • Childcare Centres
  • Office buildings
  • Shopping Centres

And the list goes on.  We have done distribution centres for large supermarket chains, wineries and even aircraft hangers.

Sometimes we need to bring in an elevated work platform (think like a cherry picker) to access the roof, but once up there, are work is exactly the same as on a home, just more and longer gutters!

Because we are fully insured, this is also a large benefit to commercial organisations because it gives them peace of mind.  Plus, because Gutter-Vac is a nation-wide group, we do work for national organisations and companies that can have a single point of contact (at our head office) but have the work done right across the country.

So do you know someone that managers a commercial property or properties?  Do you think we could help them?  We’d love for you to pass on our details and remember, that same service you receive for your residential home, we offer that same customer service experience to our commercial customers because they have gutters too!
