Why Gutter Maintenance Matters in Canberra's Climate

Canberra's unique climate presents specific challenges for your home's guttering system. From scorching summers to frosty winters, your gutters endure extreme temperature fluctuations that can cause expansion, contraction, and eventual damage. Additionally, the region's seasonal storms bring heavy rainfall that tests the integrity of your guttering system.​

​

Seasonal Challenges for Canberra Gutters

Autumn brings falling leaves and debris that clog gutters, while spring pollen and seed pods create blockages. Summer hailstorms can dent and damage guttering, and winter frost can cause water to expand and crack your guttering system. These seasonal challenges make regular gutter maintenance essential for Canberra homeowners.

​

Consequences of Neglected Gutters

Ignoring gutter problems can lead to serious issues including water damage to fascia boards, roof leaks, foundation damage, landscape erosion, and even basement flooding.

 

When left uncleaned, this causes:

  • Overflowing gutters during heavy rain

  • Roof leaks and internal water damage

  • Sagging gutters, rust & corrosion

  • Pest infestations (birds, insects, rodents)

  • Fire hazards during bushfire season

​

We recommend cleaning your gutters every 6–12 months — or after a major storm or wind event.

What’s Included in Our Professional Gutter Cleaning Service

1. Full Debris Removal

We manually clear out:

  • Leaves, sticks, bark, gum nuts, and seed pods

  • Silt, sludge, built-up grime, and standing water

  • Animal nests (birds, possums, insects)

  • Any obstructions causing blockages or overflow

​

We remove everything — not just the visible debris.

2. High-Pressure Downpipe Flushing

We also flush out all connected downpipes using water pressure or mechanical rods to ensure:

  • Full drainage capacity

  • No internal clogs

  • Water is exiting away from your home’s foundation properly
     

If we find a blocked down-pipe, we’ll clear it on the spot — or quote for repair if needed.

3. Minor Repairs and Gutter Adjustments

While we’re on your roof, we’ll also:

  • Check for loose brackets or sagging sections

  • Re-secure misaligned guttering (where safely possible)

  • Identify early-stage rust, cracks, or leaks

  • Report back with images if damage is found
     

Small adjustments are done on the spot at no extra cost. Larger issues? We’ll quote it clearly.

4. Roofline & Gutter Health Check

We’re licensed roofers, not just cleaners. Therefore we perform a visual roofline inspection as part of your clean:

  • Fascia condition

  • Roof-to-gutter joins

  • Signs of tile movement or flashing damage

  • Pest intrusion risks (especially near eaves)
     

Most gutter cleaning companies miss these — we don’t.

5. Before & After Photos (On Request)

Need proof for landlords or strata? We offer:

  • Before & after shots of your gutters

  • Notes on condition

  • Recommendations for further work (if needed)
     

This adds transparency and peace of mind.

6. Full Site Clean-Up

We leave your property exactly how we found it — or better:

  • All debris is bagged and removed

  • No mess on driveways, gardens, or paths

  • Final rinse of areas if needed
     

You’ll barely know we were there — except your gutters will work perfectly again.
