gutter vacs
« on: March 21, 2008, 08:33:06 pm »
Seems everyone is interested in having a gutter vac, so I'm wondering if it is really worth the trouble for normal domestic jobs. Setting up and arranging power supply or setting up generator etc. I would love to have one but I can't make up my mind if its worth the hassle, not to mention the cost. Bottom line is it really that much faster.

I have converted an old carpet cleaning machine to suck out gutters rather than suck out carpets. Regular work No, but in all fairness most people don't even think about getting the gutters cleaned until they notice during a down pour than water just goes over the edges of the gutters rather than going down the down pipe.
If you flogged the idea with a bit of hard sell then no doubt you could get plenty of work out of it.
