Cleaning your gutters yourself takes hours, is extremely hazardous and difficult to do properly. WESTVAC will do the job quickly (1-2 hours for a 3x1) and will leave no mess to be cleaned off your paths, lawns or gardens. If you have a rain water tank, clean gutters give you safer, better tasting, drinking water. Clean gutters allow rain water to disperse quickly, reducing the risk of staining to eaves and damage to the ceiling as well as the interior walls of your home, not to mention floor coverings and window treatments. It also reduces the risk of a fire starting in your gutters due to a build up of dry leaf litter. A cost saving side benefit is the prevention of corrosion that destroys gutters, and costs you a lot of money to fix. We have our own power supply, so we don`t add to your costs.

Home guttering is designed to catch as much water as possible during a rain event. It doesn`t matter whether you wish to dispose of the water through the stormwater system or store it in rainwater tanks, if the gutters or downpipes are blocked, the water cannot drain away as designed, which may cause it to overflow. If the water gets under your fascia it may find its way into the ceiling, staining both your ceiling and inner walls. This can lead to structural damage to the property, which most likely will not be covered by your insurance. Insurance companies will not pay out on water damage caused by blocked gutters, downpipes & drains, water damage must be as a direct result of storm damage i.e. lifting roof or similar. Dust settles on your roof and washes into the gutters each time it rains, collecting in the gutter as silt, providing a bed for weed seeds which have been spread by the breeze and birds. Seeds germinate and grow in gutters for long periods, undisturbed for months at a time, by which time they may have totally blocked your gutters and or down pipes. Gutters that have filled with dirt and plant material must be cleaned in order for them to do their job, if they are left for months or in the worst case, years, they may need to be replaced. That is an expensive alternative. Moss thrives in moist shaded gutters, particularly in the cooler southern half of the state, particularly in the shaded growing environment offered by gutter-guards. Another area for concern in the SW is bird and possum droppings, these are a health hazard for people with rain water tanks. Blocked gutters & downpipes cause corrosion, moist silt and leaf litter sits in your gutters creating the ideal environment to rust / corrode most metals, even zincalume, galvanised and colour bond gutters break down in this environment. Built up leaf litter in gutters is a prime example of how fires start in homes that are otherwise well protected. If you have the recommended thirty or forty metre clear area, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have clean gutters. Why use professionals to clean your gutters?
