As Fire Action Week approaches, East Gippsland homeowners are urged to address one of the most critical fire hazards on their property: clogged gutters.
Leading the charge in local home safety is Quickvac Gutter Cleaning, a specialised service dedicated to protecting homes from the dangers of ember attacks and water damage.
Unlike traditional methods, Quickvac Gutter Cleaning employs a powerful, truck-mounted vacuum system designed to thoroughly and efficiently remove all leaves, twigs, and debris. This advanced equipment allows the team to clear gutters safely and thoroughly from the ground, eliminating the risks associated with ladders and working at heights while ensuring a comprehensive clean that manual scooping can miss.
During a bushfire, gutters filled with dry debris become a perfect tinderbox for airborne embers, creating a significant risk of a house fire. By completely clearing these channels, Quickvac’s service drastically reduces this danger, providing homeowners with essential peace of mind.
Beyond the immediate fire risk, clogged gutters can cause significant water damage to a property. Blockages can lead to overflowing water that seeps into roofing, walls, and foundations, causing rot, mould, and costly structural repairs. Regular professional cleaning from Quickvac ensures proper water flow, safeguarding your home from water-related damage year-round.
At the helm of Quickvac is local owner Josh Kerton, who brings a lifetime of local knowledge and a deep commitment to community safety to the business.
Born and raised in East Gippsland, Josh’s expertise is backed by over a decade of dedicated service as a volunteer firefighter with the local CFA.
This firsthand experience with fire behaviour gives him a unique understanding of the importance of preventative maintenance.
The Quickvac team understands the local conditions and the real dangers that clogged gutters present.
Their goal is to provide a reliable, safe, and highly effective service that helps protect families and their most valuable asset – their home.
With fire season on the horizon, now is the perfect time to take proactive steps.
Don’t leave your home’s safety to chance. Book a professional gutter cleaning with Quickvac and trust a local expert with the crucial task of preparing your home.
