As a gutter cleaning company we often get asked, "how often should I clean my gutters" This is a bit of a difficult question to answer all situations with one solution. The best way to measure is by getting them regularly cleaned. Most homes should have their gutters and down pipes checked once a year before winter and heavy rain.

Gutter cleaners are usually only called out when the gutters are full and the debris in the gutters is visible from below. This is usually too late and a lot of work is involved to get the guttering clean and down pipes unblocked.

Usually when the gutters and roofing are maintained, there is less need for roofing repairs and gutter replacement. Keeping the gutters and down pipes clear of debris and blockages helps keep all the water and loose leaves going straight into your storm water system and out into the street.

If you get a high pressure washer and "jetter" tool from Bunnings Warehouse or any other hardware store that sells quality plumbing and drain cleaning equipment. You can easily clear blocked downpipes and your storm-water system and clear out your down-pipes.

This is essentially the most effective way on how to clear blocked downpipes and storm-water drains. This method will cost a little bit of cash, especially a powerful high pressure washer should be purchased and the drain cleaning attachment for the high pressure washer is called a "jetter" and it will clean out blocked downpipes and clear blockages in the storm-water system around your home.

You can also easily fix the loose down-pipe on your rainwater tank with some PVC glue. It is usually blue in color and there is no need to get a high pressure glue, just the plain blue PVC plumbing glue can be used to repair broken rainwater pipes and other PVC down-pipes around your home. PVC downpipes look a bit cheap and tacky, but you can paint them the same color as the surroundings. If you have large pets or rough children that will be playing near the downpipes. It is best to make sure that they are still replaced with metal downpipes when they rust out. PVC downpipes are not suited to regular knocks and scrapes, they will crack and fall apart.

When working on your home replacing downpipes, cleaning gutters and checking for water leaks around your roofing, its important to make sure you use quality equipment such as ladders and good footwear to prevent injuries and safety hazards when working on the roof and close to the guttering.
