When the gutters on this Maitland home became heavily blocked with leaves and debris, the owners called TurboVac for a ground-based gutter clean. Here is how the job went, and why cleaning from the ground protected the home's tiled roof.
The job at a glance
Location: Maitland, NSW
Property: Single-storey home
Roof type: Tiled
Problem: Heavy debris blocking the gutters
Service: Ground-based gutter vacuum clean
Result: Gutters fully cleared, all debris removed off-site
The problem
The gutters had built up a heavy layer of leaves, twigs and compacted debris. Blocked gutters like these overflow in heavy rain, sending water back toward the roof line and walls instead of draining away. On a tiled roof there is an added problem: walking the tiles to clear gutters by hand risks cracking and breaking them.
What TurboVac did
TurboVac cleared the gutters using a ground-based vacuum system. High-reach carbon-fibre poles reached along the full gutter line while the technician stayed safely on the ground, so nobody climbed onto the tiled roof. Leaves and debris were drawn straight into the collection tank on the truck, and the downpipe openings were checked and cleared.
The result
The gutters were left completely clear, with all debris taken away and no mess on the roof, walls or garden. Because the job was done entirely from the ground, the tiled roof was never walked on - no cracked tiles, no damage. The owners received before-and-after photos of the result.
