Title: Cold gutter cleaning
Post by: LBWCS on December 10, 2012, 07:07:10 pm

Got a couple of jobs with gutter vac on this week.Just wondering if it makes a difference if they are frozen?Does it make it easier or more difficult?

If you use an agitator it's possible, did one last weekend.

I did one today - I had to spray hot water from my pole system into the gutters for 20 mins to defrost it cause there was no chance of clearing it frozen.
