A powerful vacuum cleaner that does a good job

Cleaning the gutters includes the removal of all loose debris, dirt and grime from the gutters. For example, a gutter brush or shovel can be used for this work. At Kourulle.com we use a gutter vacuum cleaner, which can be used from the ground. The vacuum cleaner has a carbon fibre arm and can be used to clean gutters from a height of up to 12 metres. Carbon fibre is a light and durable material, so your hands will not get tired easily while working and the vacuum cleaner will not damage the surface of the house or the gutters.

We use a variety of nozzles on our vacuum cleaners, so we can clean even narrow and confined rainwater gutters. If necessary, a camera can be attached to the vacuum cleaner to get a better view of the gutter at a higher level. The camera is a good tool for checking challenging areas before starting work, for example.

A powerful vacuum cleaner ensures a high-quality result. It helps you clean your gutters and keep your yard and house tidy. Finally, the gutter sludge can either be composted in the customer's yard or we take it away with us when the job is done.

while blockages divert water to the wrong places, for example at the base of the plinth.

Why is gutter cleaning so important?

You should check your gutters twice a year: in spring, after meltwater has fallen from the roof, and
in autumn, when the leaves and needles fall from the trees. The gutters are carefully cleaned if they have been contaminated.

Make sure to check the condition of your rainwater gutters in time!

The functionality of the rainwater system directly affects the condition of the property. Therefore, the condition of rainwater gutters should be checked well in advance before major problems arise. The best way to prevent problems from occurring is to make the inspection routine and include it in the spring and autumn maintenance of the property.

What are the benefits of a proactive inspection of the condition of rainwater gutters?

The function of rainwater gutters is to direct rain and meltwater away from the structures of the property. A functioning rainwater system protects roofs, exterior walls, foundations and even above-ground structures such as terraces and stairs. The risk of water damage and mould damage is a fundamental reason why it is important to check the condition of rainwater gutters.

When talking about the condition of rainwater gutters, the first thing that comes to mind is protecting the structure of the property. It is also important to note that a functioning rainwater system prevents soil erosion. When rainwater gutters and downspouts are properly aligned, the soil next to the building remains firm and stable.

Regularly checking the condition of rainwater gutters and taking early maintenance and repair measures can save significant costs in the long run. If water has been allowed to seep into structures for years, the damage can be extensive and the repair work costly.

Make it a routine to check your rainwater system!

It is clear that the condition of rainwater gutters needs to be checked regularly. It is important to make it a routine so that you do not miss a check. There are some good times when the work is particularly appropriate.

Many have chosen spring and autumn as the time for inspection and maintenance. After the winter, it's a good idea to know the state of your gutters and make sure that ice and snow have not caused any damage. In autumn, when the leaves have fallen, it's a good idea to make sure that leaves and other debris are not blocking the gutters for the winter.

In addition, rainwater gutters should be checked after heavy rains. Storm winds or large temperature fluctuations can also put rainwater gutters to the test. In such cases, it is a good idea to make sure that water has escaped from the rainwater system.

When inspecting rainwater gutters, it's a good idea to pay attention to the condition of their fittings, any cracks or holes, and to ensure that water flows freely and the gutters drain completely. If signs of blockages or damage are found, they should be repaired as soon as possible.

Cleaning rainwater gutters with a professional

Cleaning rainwater gutters is an essential part of property maintenance. If the rainwater system is not working properly, water can get into your property and damage can be extensive. Regular gutter cleaning prevents damage from occurring and ensures that cleaning cycles run smoothly and gutters don't fall into disrepair.

Gutter cleaning is a job that property owners usually do too infrequently. It's also easy to miss, and rainwater gutters are only discovered when they become blocked. This is why it makes perfect sense to have your gutters cleaned by a professional who will do it on a regular basis.

Professional work brings peace of mind

Rainwater gutters in buildings are often located at a height and can be difficult to clean without the right tools. A safe ladder and safety equipment are needed to do the job without too much risk. Especially if the height of the roof or the complexity of the cleaning task exceeds personal limits, it is advisable to hire a professional to do the job.

A professional's toolkit automatically includes safe and just the right tools to clean gutters safely. With years of experience and familiar working methods, gutter cleaning is also efficient and does not take too much time.

A professional does not just clean rainwater gutters. They also check the condition of the gutters and check the fittings, joints and downpipes. A professional can identify problems that might otherwise go unnoticed and could cause bigger problems in the long run.

Property owners also appreciate discussions with a professional. A professional can assess the seriousness of potential problems and when and how to respond. Property value is maintained when the roof and other structures are well looked after. It's also good to remember that the warranty on rainwater systems remains valid when gutters are kept clean.
