Cleaning and inspecting your gutters

It is important for the proper functioning of your rainwater system that your gutters are kept clean and clear.

Regular inspection and cleaning is required to ensure that leaves and other organic material does not enter your down pipes and collect in the underground pipe work.

If you live in a leafy area it is recommended that you fit a suitable gutter guard to help keep the leaves out of you gutters. Dirty gutters are the main cause of your rainwater developing an unpleasant odour, or becoming discoloured.
