Remember those heavy Melbourne thunderstorms over the past couple of years, in particular the one on Xmas day in 2011? Those heavy rains caused millions of dollars of damage to houses due to flooding. Some insurance companies have insisted that customers maintain regular gutter cleaning, in order to prevent future flooding.
When the gutters are full, the water can cascade over the front of the gutters, or it can flow back, over the eaves and into the ceiling.
Ozwide Roof Gutter Cleaning can regularly clean out the gutters and downpipes to help avoid flooding.
Have a look at some of the photos of those Melbourne storms and some of the blocked gutters that would not be able to cope!
