Title: Gutter cleaning - preferred method?
Post by: Aquakleen Restoration Services on November 20, 2009, 03:29:18 pm

Hi all

At the moment I am up a ladder scraping the crud towards me with a drainage rod gutter scraper then flushing out with clean water. I think this is time consuming. Investing in a gutter vac might be a bit uneconomical for the amount of gutter jobs I do. Upon saying that I wouldnt mind doing more in the Spring and Summer months!

I own a pressure washer and you can buy the gutter attachment and telescopic lance for gutter work but am a little worried about the high pressure and dirt flying everywhere!! Does anyone use one of these systems?

Many thanks for your input!

John

done it once never again!

ended up having to spray the building to get the crud off the walls, had to sweep up all sort of crud that went on the floor and got totally covered in crud myself.

and clean the windows too  >:(

instead of using high pressure nozzle just use a rinse nozzle my machine is 21 litre a minute so with a rinse nozzle attached it blows everything to downspout without any mess, the only time i attach the high pressure nozzle is to unblock any downspouts.
