Gutter Cleaning
Why Clean Your Gutters?
The Importance of Cleaning your Gutters
| Leaves and other debris can quickly build up in your gutters and roof valleys, clogging your gutters and downpipe inlets. In Winter this can cause flooding into the roof cavity and/or ceiling as well as overflowing gutters and downpipes. In Summer this same debris becomes drier and becomes a fire hazard particularly for those people who live in the hills or leafy suburbs. Regular maintenance of your gutters will also prolong the life of your gutters. |
