Gutter Repairs and Roof Inspection

Excess debris, water leaks, and pests will impact your roof’s ability to drain water. Routine roof inspections and gutter repairs are essential to prevent damage to your roof and home.

Why healthy gutters are important:

  • Roof Drainage – All the water that flows down the roof has to go somewhere, and gutters make sure that it isn’t down the side of your walls, windows, and doors.
  • Water Seepage – When gutters don’t perform as required, excess rainwater may seep back under the roof and down the inside of walls and even seep into floors and foundations causing serious structural damage.
  • Excess Moisture – Blocked gutters can become moats of water that surround the roof line. This weight can cause the gutters to sag, and can cause mould and rot in the timber structures of the roof.
  • Pests – Faulty or blocked gutters can become a habitat for pests like invasive insects and birds that can be a nuisance to the occupants and cause further damage to the home.

Top Priority Gutter Repairs

A routine inspection of a guttering system is recommended to repair urgent issues and keep the gutters working efficiently.
  • Buildup of leaves and debris – Excess debris will cause the gutters to corrode, sag, and become a home to unwanted pests.
  • Blocked downpipe – A blocked downpipe will cause water to backflow up the gutters, negating their function and causing overflows.
  • Sagging gutters – Sagging gutters cannot drain water and end up holding excess weight. This can damage the fascia and other structures.
  • Damaged gutters – Gutters can rust, corrode, crack, warp, and lose their ability to move water away from the house. A health check will spot any issues that will get worse over time.
