Keep Your Gutters Clean

This might seem obvious, but it can not be overemphasised how important regular gutter cleaning is for commercial properties in Sydney. In order to highlight the benefits of regular guttering cleaning, think about the function of your property's gutters.

The guttering system directs and controls the flow of rainwater off your roof and to drainage. By directing the flow of the water off the roof, the gutters protect rainwater from flowing into the interior cavity of your roof as well as overflowing off the roof where it can waterfall down and cause foundation damage.

Whether your gutters are vinyl, aluminium, galvanised steel or zincalume, regular gutter cleaning will extend their lifespan and save you serious money in the long-run.

Tree leaves, sticks and debris can cause blockages that forces water to flow either over the gutters or into the roof cavity. The damage to internal structures can be devastating.

Additionally, blocked up gutters make the perfect home for possums, rodents and pests.

Blocked gutters can also cause mould problems that can easily spread throughout the roof cavity of your commercial office building presenting dangerous health risks.

Arborists In Sydney & Newcastle

Trim Nearby Trees

Branches that are nearby to gutters not only present a constant source of foliage that can get lodged in the gutters, but also presents a hazard of falling branches that can damage the gutters. Regular trimming and dead-wooding of nearby trees will ensure that you receive the cooling advantage of nearby trees without risking damage to your gutters.

Contact a local arborist for the best service. They spend years analysing the growth patterns of specific trees and can provide tailored treatments to keep your trees in tip-top condition.

Gutter Cleaning On Commercial Building

How Often Should Your Gutters Be Cleaned?

It depends on the location of your office building, the height and the proximity of any trees. As a general rule, gutters on commercial buildings do not need to be cleaned as regularly as a residential property due to the height and larger volume of the gutters.

The easiest and most reliable way of establishing the ideal frequency of cleaning your gutters is to organise a gutter maintenance professional to assess and clean your gutters. By evaluating the performance and capabilities of your guttering system they will be able to recommend a maintenance schedule that will extend the lifespan of your gutters while offering the best value for money.

Are Your Gutters Covered By Insurance?

Many commercial property owners have had rude shocks when their insurance does not cover water damage caused by blocked gutters. This Canstar report highlights that some of the biggest property insurers in Australia will not cover water damage caused by blocked gutters. The report reveals that one of Australia's best known insurers has the following statement in their policies:

“If your roof hasn't been reasonably maintained and this has contributed to the damage you want to claim for, you might not be covered.”

So if you are still putting off gutter cleaning for later on in the year, this hopefully will be the motivation you need to ensure that you can not only extend the lifespan of your guttering system, but also prevent costly water damage repairs from blocked gutters.

When Is The Best Time Of Year To Clean Your Gutters?

Customers of NRMA are provided with advice that they should clean their gutters at least once a year. The report recommends that this is especially important in the East Coast of Australia before the storm season between October and March.
