Gutter Cleaning in Heidelberg – Melbourne Plumber
Our Gallant Plumbers were recently called out to a building complex in Heidelberg to perform a routine gutter cleaning. They were contracted to inspect and clean the gutters of all eight units. Our skilled team began by taking all of the necessary precautions to ensure that the job was being completed safely. Once the site was secure they used a hose to flush all of the buildings gutters and downpipes.
Our professional plumbers didn’t just perform a gutter cleaning in Heidelberg but they also inspected and made recommendations for how they could improve all of their rain removal systems. While inspecting the unit’s gutters, the plumbers noticed that 7 out of the 8 units had faulty ridge pointing. Therefore, they recommended to the building owner that they should re-point all ridge cappings. They also noticed some signs of internal surface rust. The plumbers were able to inform the owner and make a plan to ensure that no future issues would occur.
Gutter Maintenance
Gutter maintenance always tends to fall to the bottom of most people to-do-lists. This can quickly become a costly oversight for property owners. Gutters are an integral part of any building. They control the direction and flow of rainwater. A gutter and downpipe clogged with leaves, sticks and debris can cause leaky roofs, which can result in water damage to the interior, exterior and foundation of your property. Clogged gutters can also result in pests, rodents, mold and bee infestations. Such damage and infestations can be extremely costly, but are also easily avoidable. Ensuring that your gutters are clean and in working order is therefore a vital risk mitigation step for any building owner. We can help you with your gutter cleaning in Heidelberg or Melbourne.
How Gallant Plumbing Can Help You
Although cleaning gutters is a task most building owners can do themselves, it can be dangerous work, with medical data in 2016 showing that roughly 5,000 people are hospitalised for injuries acquired after falling off a ladder each year. It can also be very tedious work, with gutters maintenance being required between two to four times a year. It is always wise to call in the experts with risky property maintenance jobs like gutter cleaning, especially if you need to climb a ladder.
