Vacuum gutter cleaning in Scarborough

Scarborough's Indian Ocean exposure accelerates gutter corrosion faster than most Perth suburbs.

Scarborough sits on the exposed coastal strip between Doubleview and Trigg — and the salt-laden Indian Ocean winds that make it one of Perth's most popular beach suburbs are also relentless on roof gutters. Properties along West Coast Highway and the streets running back from the beachfront see accelerated rust and corrosion in gutters that inland suburbs simply don't experience. Add in the Aleppo pine, paperbark and Norfolk Island pine needle drop across the suburb, and gutters block significantly faster here than the Perth average. Left uncleared heading into winter, that's a direct path to overflowing gutters, water behind the fascia, and costly internal water damage. Most Scarborough properties benefit from two cleans per year — once in April before the rains arrive, and again in October to clear the spring seed and pollen load.ft behind. The coastal position means salt-laden sea breezes deposit a corrosive film year-round. Norfolk pine needle drop is particularly problematic - the needles mat into a dense layer that hand-scooping spreads rather than removes. Our vacuum extraction gets everything out clean.
