Cashmere’s beautiful tree-lined streets and hillside homes make it one of Christchurch’s most desirable suburbs.
But with those trees and changing seasons comes a serious maintenance issue: blocked gutters.
In Cashmere, leaves, twigs, moss, and strong hill winds quickly clog gutters, leading to water overflow, roof leaks, and even foundation damage if left untreated.
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we offer professional gutter cleaning services in Cashmere, protecting your home from expensive water-related problems.
Why Gutter Cleaning Matters in Cashmere
Cashmere homes are especially vulnerable to gutter problems because of the local environment.
The dense tree cover means more organic debris falling into rooflines.
The Port Hills winds accelerate the buildup of dust, twigs, and leaves, especially after autumn and winter storms.
If gutters aren’t cleared regularly, water can back up under roofing materials, rot timber fascias, and even erode foundations by pooling around the base of the home.
Regular gutter cleaning isn’t just a cosmetic service — it’s essential property protection.
Our Professional Gutter Cleaning Process
At Metro Water Blasting, we take a complete approach to clearing and protecting your gutters.
First, we inspect the roof and gutter system for signs of blockage, sagging, or early damage.
Then we manually remove all debris — leaves, moss, sticks, seed pods, and built-up grime — ensuring nothing is left to block water flow.
After clearing, we flush every downpipe thoroughly to guarantee full drainage from roof to ground.
Finally, we clean up all debris around your property, leaving everything neat and tidy.

How Often Should You Clean Gutters in Cashmere?
Cashmere homes surrounded by trees should ideally have their gutters cleaned twice a year — once in autumn after the leaves fall, and once in spring to prepare for winter rains.
Homes with fewer trees can often manage with an annual clean.
After major storms or heavy winds, a quick gutter inspection is always recommended to catch hidden blockages early.
Regular maintenance prevents expensive roof repairs, dampness issues, and costly foundation damage.
Signs You May Need Gutter Cleaning
If you notice water spilling over the sides of your gutters during rain, sagging sections, plants growing in the gutter channels, or damp smells inside your walls or ceilings — it’s time for immediate gutter cleaning.
Even new homes in Cashmere are vulnerable once organic buildup starts to choke downpipes and overflow systems.
Real Client Story: Protecting a Home in Cashmere
One of our Cashmere clients called us after noticing large damp patches on their interior ceiling following a winter rainstorm.
A quick inspection revealed that their gutters were packed full of autumn leaves, causing water to back up under the roof edges.
We performed a full clean and downpipe flush — preventing thousands of dollars in ceiling and insulation repairs.
Now, they book regular six-monthly gutter cleans to stay ahead of the problem.
