Gutter Cleaning Sumner – Protect Coastal Homes from Water Damage
Life by the beach in Sumner is beautiful — but it’s tough on your home.
Coastal air, salt spray, heavy rain, and constant wind make gutter cleaning essential to protect your roof, walls, and foundations from costly damage.
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we specialise in professional gutter cleaning for Sumner homes, ensuring your drainage systems work properly year-round — even under the harsh conditions of coastal living.
Why Sumner Homes Need More Frequent Gutter Cleaning
Coastal weather speeds up gutter blockages:
- Salt spray from the sea accelerates moss and lichen growth in gutters.
- Wind-blown sand and debris quickly clog downpipes.
- Heavy autumn rains cause water pooling and overflow.
- Nearby trees and plant debris add to seasonal buildup.
Blocked gutters in coastal areas lead to:
- Roof water leaks and ceiling stains
- Rotting fascia boards and soffits
- Water pooling around foundations, risking structural damage
- Mould and mildew growth inside walls and roof cavities
Our Gutter Cleaning Process
We clean your gutters and downpipes thoroughly and safely:
1. Roof and Gutter Inspection
We assess roof valleys, gutters, and downpipes for blockages, sagging, and damage.
2. Safe Debris Removal
All leaves, moss, sand, and organic debris are carefully hand-removed or vacuumed without damaging your roof or guttering.
3. Downpipe Flushing
We pressure flush downpipes to ensure free water flow — no blockages left behind.
4. Final Rinse and Site Clean-Up
We leave your roof, gutters, and ground areas clean and free from leftover debris.
