Yes. The best form of prevention is having your gutters cleaned before fire season rather than waiting until your property is at the most risk. It only takes a tiny spark to cause a large house or yard fire. 

Get your gutters cleared any time of the year without needing our emergency plumbing services.

Never risk conducting a gutter cleaning job yourself. While you think you might be saving money, without the right tools and equipment (such as a sturdy ladder and gutter cleaning utensils), you’re unlikely to complete it to the required level to protect your drainage system.

Aside from completing the job efficiently, safety is also a real concern because you could hurt yourself if you slipped on roof tiles and weren’t properly strapped into a harness.

The best gutter cleaners are those with the right qualifications and gear so that if they should fall, they will be protected.

After you clean your gutters, you should be able to see that water flows smoothly through your system. You are also restoring them back to their original purpose, which is to drain rainwater. 

If they are cleaned and still don’t drain well, you may need to clean them again or undergo gutter replacement, depending on what an inspection uncovers. At Canberra Plumbing and Drains, we are always honest and communicate well about plumbing issues. We will also ensure you get the right solutions for your gutter problems.

We pride ourselves on taking a “no mess, no fuss” mentality, which means we leave your property clean once we’ve finished tending to your needs. Each of our crew knows that it’s part of their professional responsibility to clean up after themselves, with as little interruption to your day as possible. 

Cleaning up after gutter cleaning could include accurately disposing of debris to washing down any dirt left on paving. What this entails will vary depending on the task.

One of the primary reasons your gutters get clogged with dirt, twigs, and leaves is the trees growing close to your house, especially during autumn when they naturally drop their leaves. Keeping them pruned away from your home can help alleviate the issue.

You may also notice that animal droppings and bird nests are a cause too. The best way to keep on top of these issues is to regularly hire a gutter cleaner, like us, to keep them free and clear of these objects.
