Jane's home in Weston has a carport that's longer than the house, and the neighbour's bottlebrush trees hang right over it. Bottlebrush drops a steady stream of red flower bits and leaves, and a long carport gutter catches the lot.

What Turbovac did

Mark vacuum cleaned the carport gutters and the whole house. While he was there, he found the hangers on the back gutter were all loose, so he fixed them on the spot. Loose hangers let a gutter sag, and a sagging gutter holds water instead of draining it. Turbovac works from the ground wherever possible, with ladders and harness where access needs it.

What it cost

This clean was $385, quoted up front, covering the oversized carport as well as the whole house. Standard homes start from $250.
