History
Before Gutter-Vac, the only reliable way for Australians to clean gutters was by hand. Seeing a clear gap in the market, founders Warren and Anne Ballantyne set out to change that. After extensive research, Warren developed and launched Australia’s first purpose-built gutter vacuum system - transforming the industry. By 2000, Gutter-Vac began franchising, offering a first-to-market advantage. The model is backed by proprietary equipment, 25+ years of systems, and strong brand support.
Gutter-Vac operates in all states and territoriers.
