How do you clean gutters without a ladder?

Every house and business that has a gutter system should have those gutters cleaned out approximately every 2 years. However, ladders are a common way that New Zealanders get injured, with dozens of falls recorded each week and about 70% of those being from ladders and roofs. Wouldn’t it be better to clean gutters without a ladder?

Traditional gutter cleaning typically involves going up on a ladder, cleaning a section out, and then shifting the ladder to the next section. Or it involves climbing up on the roof to gain access to the gutters for cleaning. Both methods are not only slow, but dangerous. And if you’re keen to follow the recommended cleanings, that’s twice every year going up the ladder or on the roof to get the gutters clean.

Fortunately, recent advances in technology mean that you can get gutters clean quicker than ever before–and they can be done from the safety of the ground.

Cleaning gutters from ground level

The skyVac system is a revolutionary way to clean gutters safely and more efficiently. With skyVac, a powerful vacuum is attached to a long pole that can reach up to 3 floors high. The end of the vacuum has a camera, and the handle has a screen with a live feed. This means that the gutters can be checked and clean without stepping foot on a ladder.

Because the vacuum is so powerful, it can pickup even the most difficult clogs. It also comes with several attachments for different kinds of clogs like grass, debris, water, and large objects.
