gutter cleaning experts without leaving the ground!!

Are your gutters and/or downpipes dirty and malfunctioning? Do you have trees around your home that shed leaves all over your roof and into your gutters? Have your gutters been neglected for so long that you have grass growing from the gutter? Is water pouring overhead when it rains?

Protect your property: Blocked downpipes or gutters that are blocked can cause water to backfill into your property, potentially resulting in thousands of dollars in repair bills. And often insurance companies will not cover you if the gutters have been neglected.

GUTTERCO, utilising our revolutionary new gutter vacuum service (we generally don't have to leave the ground!), offers an emergency service for dangerously dirty and clogged up gutters, one off services and also a regular service (2 - 4 times per annum) at a reduced rate.

Our service covers both removing the contents from the gutter and making sure that each individual downspout is running properly by clearing up clogged downpipes using high pressure compressed air and vacuum. We usually do NOT use any water during the cleaning process!

FORGET LADDERS! FORGET RISKING LIFE AND LIMB SCALING YOUR ROOF!

Did you know that recent legislation makes it mandatory for anyone who works on a roof to be either harnessed or be working within an area which is protected by scaffolding?

This means that anyone NOT wearing a safety harness or working within a scaffolding will not be covered by insurance. Think about that! And besides the obvious legalities of working on a roof not secured by either scaffolding or by individual harnesses, the dangers of working on roofs should be obvious to everyone.

Gutterco offers a revolutionary new way of cleaning all types of gutters - safely, effectively and efficiently - without having to set foot on your roof. OUR SYSTEM OPERATES WITH EXTRAORDINARILY POWERFUL TRUCK MOUNTED VACUUM MACHINES COUPLED WITH EXTENDABLE HAND HELD VACUUM BOOMS WHICH CAN CLEAN AT ROOF HEIGHTS UP TO THREE STORIES WITHOUT US EVER HAVING TO LEAVE THE GROUND!.

Blocked gutters and downpipes represent significant risks to the safety of the dwelling from both fire and flood.

Blocked gutters and downpipes can carry debris that could be used as an accelerant for a fire while conversely, they are unable to be utilised as a 'firebreak' by filling them with water to slow down any fire or kill of any airborne embers or ashes thay may get into the gutters.

In the event of storm damage, blocked gutters and downpipes can cause water to 'backfill' into the roof cavity or wall space causing enormous damage to the dwelling.

Several people die every year in falls from roofs all across Victoria. They are generally steep and also can be very slippery. Erecting scaffolding in order to clean gutters is too costly an exercise and most people do not have access to a safety harness, so gutter cleaning tends to get done in a very dangerous and potentially life threatening manner.

Apart from the safety factor, structural issues are also a major concern, especially in older houses. Tiles become brittle over the years due to exposure to the suns UV rays and often can and do break with even very little pressure. Once cracked or broken, they must be replaced otherwise rain can enter into the roof cavity and damage plaster, electrical wiring, etc. Often damage can go unnoticed until heavy rains and then the problems caused by walking on brittle tiles become a potential disaster. By utilising the services of GUTTERCO, all of these potential problems are avoided, as we work from ground level at all times.
