Gutter cleaning Surf Coast homes need after summer

After a long, dry summer on the Surf Coast, gutter cleaning becomes essential before autumn rain sets in.
Leaves, dust and debris build up quickly in coastal towns such as Torquay, Anglesea, Jan Juc and Lorne. When steady downpours arrive, blocked gutters can overflow, causing preventable water damage to roofs, eaves and foundations.
Tom Hayes, owner of Absolutely Guttered, says early autumn is one of the most important times for gutter cleaning on the Surf Coast.
“Once the rain starts, that’s when blocked gutters show up,” he said.
“It’s far better to clear them now than deal with water damage later.”
Along the Great Ocean Road, gum leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. In heavily treed areas such as Anglesea and Lorne, gutters may need cleaning every few months to prevent build-up.

How often should gutters be cleaned on the Surf Coast? In leafy coastal suburbs, every few months is recommended. In less treed areas, an annual clean may be sufficient.
Every gutter cleaning service includes a downpipe inspection to ensure the entire system is functioning properly.
Unlike many providers who rely on vacuum systems, Absolutely Guttered uses an eco-friendly, hands-on approach. As a local gutter cleaning specialist, the team removes debris manually for a thorough clean, with waste composted, placed in green waste or taken to the tip.
