Gutter Cleaning in Blackalls Park: Packed Narrow Carport Gutters, Home and Granny Flat ($385)

Oct 1

2 min read

Dale's Blackalls Park home has a Colorbond roof, a granny flat and a carport, so there's more gutter here than the size of the house suggests. The carport gutters were the tricky part: very narrow, and absolutely packed with debris. Here's how the job went and what it cost.

The problem

The house gutters had filled with gum leaves, with trees and palms growing right alongside the roof line.

The carport was worse. Its gutters are very narrow, so there's little room for leaves before they block completely, and these were packed solid with leaves, twigs and pine needles. A gutter that full can't carry water, so in a storm it spills straight over the edge.

What Turbovac did

Mark vacuumed the gutters on the house, the granny flat and the carport. Narrow gutters like the carport's are hard to clear by hand, but the vacuum pulls the packed debris straight out, and it all goes into the collection bin instead of onto the deck, paths or garden.

The result

Every gutter on the property was cleared, including the narrow carport runs, so water can drain freely again before the storm season.

What it cost

$385 for the house, granny flat and carport. Granny flats and carports add extra gutter, which is why this cost a little more than a standard single-storey home. Every job is quoted up front, so you know the price before any work starts.
