Gutter Cleaning in

Blockages

Throughout the year, debris such as leaves, twigs, branches and other small items collect in your gutter. Rainwater can flush smaller pieces down the drain, but larger debris can get stuck. 

This is what causes significant blockages in your commercial gutters. Water is unable to drain and instead soaks into the debris. When the temperatures drop, damp debris freezes, making it even more difficult for the water to drain sufficiently. Clogs can also cause unnecessary overflow, especially during heavy rainfall or storms. 

Pests

Debris is an appealing home for critters such as mice, rats and cockroaches. Your gutters will seem the perfect place as these pests look for an inviting habitat, especially during the colder months, or to hide from predators.

Pest infestations can cause more damage than you’d expect. Besides the inconvenience, they also bring disease and may even find a way into your commercial property if there is any roof damage. 

Foundational Damage

Pests and debris can also lead to foundational damage, which is why we provide professional gutter cleaning in Shellharbour or any part of Illawarra. The best gutter cleaners understand that it is a vital maintenance task for your commercial property. If water cannot drain due to debris, the weight of the gutter will increase. Although this may not seem significant, the density of damp debris will eventually add too much weight, tearing the gutter from the wall and causing potentially extensive foundational damage.
