Before and After Photos Lie!
A client called about their gutters. They had seen “before and after” photos from a gutter cleaning company online. The gutters looked spotless in the after photos. The client assumed all was perfect.
When we arrived, we noticed the photos didn’t tell the whole story.
The company had taken photos only of the clean sections of the gutters. Leaves, debris, and blocked downpipes were hidden from view. The gutters weren’t truly cleaned — just selectively photographed.
We got out our camera and started recording videos before we touched a single leaf. We filmed every section of the gutters, every downpipe, and every problem areas.
Why Photos Can Be Misleading
Before and after photos can be deceptive:
- Only clean sections are photographed
- Problem areas can be cropped or hidden
- Photos don’t show blockages in downpipes or valleys
- Clients can’t see the overall condition of the roof
That’s why we always use video before and after, and explain to our clients what’s happening in real time.
Gutter cleaning in Sydney isn’t just about making gutters look clean. It’s about making sure they function properly, water flows, and the roof stays safe.
