Gutter-Vac home maintenance franchises and our waterways

Gutter debris is rich in nutrients, in particular nitrogen and phosphorus. While these are essential elements for plant growth, when they enter waterways they can lead to conditions that have a negative impact on the environment and on human health.

Excess nitrogen and phosphorus can lead to significant water quality problems including harmful algal blooms, hypoxia and declines in wildlife and wildlife habitat. Excesses have also been linked to higher amounts of chemicals that make people sick.

Gutter-Vac home maintenance franchises utilise a unique system to vacuum clean all wet and dry debris from roofs and gutters, ensuring that nutrient rich waste is prevented from polluting waterways.

In addition to serving the community by helping eradicate pollutants from waterways, Gutter-Vac is committed to sustainable development, meaning that the company’s home maintenance franchises work to ensure that all activities and services they carry out enhance the environment in the communities in which they operate.

Gutter-Vac works to continually improve performance through training, management review, research and development and consultation with the community.
