What is the best time of year to clean gutters?

Knowing the best time of the year to clean your gutters is pretty important.

Having gutters full of dirt and leaves can lead to all sorts of problems when the heavy rain kicks in.

The great thing is, most homes only need to be cleaned once a year to avoid the costly damage and health risks that can be caused by heavy rain.

For most homeowners, the best time of year to clean your gutters is late Autumn to early Winter.

The idea is to wait for all of the leaves to fall from the trees through Autumn… then before the rain starts up in Winter… clean your gutters and remove all of the leaves..

This is the recommendation for most people.

It makes sense…

If you clean at the start or half way through Autumn, a week later your gutters will be full again.

Here’s the thing…

Some homes need their gutters cleaned twice a year

If you live around a lot of trees that shed leaves throughout the year, then you should get your gutters cleaned twice a year.

Or… if you are on tank water, you probably want clean drinking water so it’s a good idea to keep your gutters cleaned throughout the year.

In most cases, twice a year should be more than enough.

With all this talk about when you should clean your gutters… there’s one other question you need to answer…

Will you clean your gutters yourself or do you want someone else to clean your gutters for you?

If you decide you want someone else to handle your gutter cleaning, then let me explain something to you…

Some Mornington gutter cleaning services use vacuum cleaners but they won’t get their hands dirty. If you have gutter guards, or any areas that the vacuum cleaner can’t get into, they won’t clean that section of gutter.

Others use their hands to remove leaves and dirt so they’ll remove your gutter guards and get into those places that the gutter vac guys can’t…

While these guys get the bulk of the rubbish in your gutters, it’s harder for the “hand removal guys”, to get all of the dirt that sits on the base of your gutters.

Our “3 Step Gutter Cleaning System” uses both methods:

  • We clean by hand to get into those places the gutter vac guys won’t.
  • We spray your gutters out with a hose.
  • Then we use a vacuum to remove the dirt that the “clean by hand guys” leave behind.

That’s how we can offer you:
