Unique roof anchor system ensures safe gutter clearing with Gutter-Vac maintenance franchises

In addition to the environmental and health risks associated with blocked gutters, the gutter cleaning process itself also presents risks to members of the community.

Gutters can be littered with sharp and dangerous objects such as broken glass, syringes, spiders and snakes.

Further, since gutter cleaning work is conducted at heights, serious injury and death can result from a failure to provide a safe working environment for property owners and small business operators tasked with removing this debris.

It was with these risks in mind that Gutter-Vac developed the unique system in use by its maintenance franchises.

Prior to the invention of this system, gutter cleaning was a purely manual process that was extremely ineffective at completely removing the corrosive mud and sludge that accumulates on roofs and in gutters.

There was also a worrying absence of any practical and cost effective roof safety devices that could be used by gutter cleaners. The only products available were impractical, expensive and promoted small gutter cleaning operators and home owners to take risks with their lives by working at heights unprotected.

Gutter-Vac maintenance franchises utilise a temporary roof anchorage system that has been engineered to ensure working at heights is safe, practical and affordable for property owners and small business owners.

The first of its kind, this roof anchor and tethering system complies with all Australian standards, and provides operators of the maintenance franchises with a risk free work platform from which they can effectively clean roofs and gutters.
