ANY ONE TRIED USING A GUTTER VAC TODAY?
« on: January 04, 2010, 08:20:15 pm »
Have a gutter cleaning contract to do but every property we went to today the gutters were completly frozen up!
I tried using the gutter spike i even used the hot water from the van (well warm by the time it got to the end of the hose) but it still took us 4 hours to clean 35 meters of guttering!
Any ideas guys?

I did a house today, but the old fashioned way! Was the cleanest gutter clean i've done so far! All the crap was coming out in foot long frozen sections, took me 1 hour to do the whole house ( 5 bed detatched)  niiiice  ;D

Yea I did the same in the end as the property was only two story, up there on the ladder with a gutter spike in my hand after giving up unblocking the hose for the 40th time!
All that money spent trying to be more health and saftey complient & I end doing it the old fashion way!

should have just sucked the ice clumps, you would need the omni ice gutter sucker though as power needed  ;D
