Gutters in Gisborne Ready for Fire Season

Gutters Cleaning in Gisborne

As the saying goes, “If you take care of your things, they last.” For some people, keeping things at a high standard over the years is a healthy habit. Are you someone who keeps your things to a high standard? Can you believe it even extends to gutters? Did you know that we offer gutter cleaning not only for residences but also for commercial buildings? Well, we do. Take this story from a customer in Gisborne.

Given the hustle and bustle of our lives every day, we sometimes forget which parts of our house need cleaning. For people with crazy, busy schedules, it is often inevitable to lose track of things. Guess what, this is normal and nothing to be ashamed of! We all forget things, so there’s no need to fret about it. This was the case for the maintenance manager of Gisborne Self Storage. He called us to enquire if we do gutter cleaning for commercial buildings. Our customer care team proudly informed him that it was actually one of the services we offer.

According to Paul, the maintenance manager, he got so busy for months that he forgot to check if the gutters were still okay. Well, they weren’t. The poor gutters were filled with so much dirt that it had started clogging them up badly. And they were filled with so much water, that it was making mud pies in there. It had become a problem because when it rained, water overflowed from the gutters instead of flowing down through the downpipes. The customer wanted to fix this badly as they have been dealing with the problem for a few months already.

Travis, one of our professional gutter experts in Gisborne, helped this customer out by cleaning the gutters. He arrived on time and inspected the health of the gutters first thing. Not surprisingly, aside from the heap of dirt and stagnant water that was stuck in them, a lot of wild plants had already started growing in there too. Talk about having a mini pond at home. Not the one we hoped for and not one this customer wanted anyway! Besides, there’s a deeper reason why they wanted to clean their gutters.

According to the maintenance manager, the primary reason why they wanted to have the gutters sorted out was to get clear and ready for fire season. Given that the fire season in Australia lasts longer in recent years, it is important for everyone who may be impacted to always be prepared and focused. To start things off, Travis used a powerful industrial vacuum to remove all the stuck dirt and water out of the gutters. After he cleaned and cleared the gutters, he also checked if water was flowing freely from the gutters to the downpipes.

He also performed a thorough inspection of all the gutters to ensure that no water damage had occurred inside the storage sheds. The customer commended Travis for a job well done. And thanked us for letting Travis take care of the job for them. They appreciated how much extra effort he made to ensure pure customer satisfaction.

According to the customer, ensuring that the gutters were safe was like dodging a huge bullet. Phew!
Regardless of what season, we should always expect the unexpected. It is always mandatory to come prepared and stay focused in case of any emergency. Though, it’s best that you have precautionary measures beforehand.
