What Causes Damaged Or Blocked Gutters?

A-Property-Owners-Guide-for-Maintaining-Longer-Lasting-Clean-Gutters

If you are thinking about how to avoid gutter repairs, it’s important to remember; as clean gutters are far less susceptible to damage than blocked gutters. In fact, the two most common gutter related issues facing homeowners are blockages in the gutter itself, and blockages in the downpipes. These blockages are often caused by debris like fallen leaves, moss, and weed. One simple way to tell if you’re in need of roof repairs is to take a step outside while it’s raining – if water is running down the side of your house, it’s likely that your gutters are blocked.

Leaking gutter joints are another common problem: in fact, leaking gutters are the most common cause of isolated damp in homes across Melbourne. Leaks can occur when bits of debris get caught in the joints, or simply from general wear and tear. If you’re experiencing damp in your property, it’s a good idea to check your gutters before you do anything else to see if that are what are causing the problem.

One final sign of damage to look out for is sagging gutters. This can happen when the gutter becomes weighed down by debris and standing water, or when there are rusty screws and faulty brackets. Frequent gutter cleaning can highlight these problems: you’ll easily be able to check how sturdy they are by examining the downpipe on the ground, and if anything feels a little loose you can take precautions before any real damage occurs.

Are you absolutely positive Padam is a tradie? He is the nicest, politest, quietest tradie I have ever dealt with... What a lovely young man. Couldn't possibly be a tradie.... No swearing, no attitude, no arrogance - job done and they clean up literally, not like other tradies who say they will clean up and still leave a mess.

I would highly recommend Himalayas Group. They have cleaned my windows - they look fantastic. They charged modestly and are professional, efficient and more importantly communicate well and arrive when they say.

I called Himalayas Group in the morning and by that evening my house's gutters had been cleared and the roof shone brightly. A prompt, professional and reasonably priced service. I highly recommend this company.

This is the second time I've had Padan clean my gutters and again I just can't get over his professionalism and friendly attitude. I never have a problem asking him to do extra work because I know he will charge a reasonable rate. 4 and a half hours and totally cleaned up before he left. HIGHLY and confidently recommended
