Get your mind out of the Gutter.
Clean your gutters is often a chore that is overlooked, however it is a critical one that should be done at least a few times every year.
With Australia’s temperamental climate, a blocked drain could have massive impact on your property and cause major damage when we have a deluge of rain.
Leaves, branches, dirt and other obstacles can accumulate and clog your drainage and downpipes, leading to blockages or even the rusting out of your guttering, which can potentially be a very costly exercise to replace or repair. But it will be avoided when you hire a cleaning service such as AustClean to take care of your roof and guttering cleaning requirements.
We use professional gutter cleaning equipment to do the job correctly every time, insuring you don’t have to worry about your gutters.
With Australia’s temperamental weather patterns, neglecting your gutter cleaning duties could be costly if your guttering is blocked.
The advantages of a professional gutter clean.
There are number of advantages to having your gutters regularly cleaned and checked. Ensure your gutters are clean particularly before storm season is a must for every property owner, as a clogged drain can cause significant issues and water damage if the water cannot flow successfully in a downpour. Further to that, if your guttering is filled with leaves and other debris’s for a significant amount of time they can often stay moist which can create rust, and ultimately lead to a replacement of your guttering.
While cleaning guttering isn’t necessarily a hard job, not everyone likes your idea of climbing up a high ladder and try to balance while cleaning at the same time. Clearly this could be quite dangerous, and best left to a professional cleaning team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should gutters be professionally cleaned?
Gutters should generally be checked and cleaned several times each year, particularly before storm season. Properties surrounded by trees or exposed to frequent leaf and debris build-up may require more regular gutter cleaning.
Why is regular gutter cleaning important?
Regular gutter cleaning helps prevent leaves, branches, dirt and other debris from blocking gutters and downpipes. Clear gutters allow rainwater to drain correctly and can reduce the risk of water damage, overflowing gutters and premature rust.
Can blocked gutters cause damage to my property?
Yes. Blocked gutters can overflow during heavy rain and may contribute to water damage around the roof, walls, foundations and outdoor areas. Trapped moisture and debris can also encourage gutter corrosion and costly repairs.
What does a professional gutter cleaning service include?
A professional gutter clean typically includes removing accumulated leaves, branches, dirt and debris from accessible gutters and checking that water can flow through the guttering and downpipes. The exact service may vary according to the property.
Can AustClean clear blocked downpipes?
AustClean can inspect and clean accessible guttering and downpipe entry points as part of the service. More serious internal downpipe blockages or drainage faults may require assessment by an appropriately qualified tradesperson.
Should gutters be cleaned before storm season?
Yes. Cleaning gutters before storm season helps ensure rainwater can move through the guttering and downpipes during heavy rainfall, reducing the likelihood of overflow and preventable water damage.
Is it safer to hire a professional gutter cleaner?
Yes. Gutter cleaning often involves working at height, using ladders and balancing near roof edges. Hiring an experienced professional reduces the need for property owners to undertake potentially dangerous work themselves.
Can gutter cleaning help prevent rust?
Yes. Leaves and debris can remain damp inside gutters for long periods, increasing the risk of corrosion. Regular cleaning removes moisture-retaining material and may help extend the life of the guttering.
Does AustClean use professional gutter cleaning equipment?
Yes. AustClean uses professional gutter cleaning equipment and appropriate methods to remove built-up debris and help restore clear water flow through the guttering system.
