Poor guttering is the main cause of water problems in the home or office and can be as big of a problem as leaking tiles! Sydney and its surrounding regional centres can experience extremely heavy rainfall and unless you have very well designed and installed guttering, you may experience big problems with water disposal.
Overflowing gutters due to blockages, not enough downpipes, poor fall and simply too larger catchment area for the size of your gutters can create a very expensive mess through water ingress. Box gutters are the worst offenders and unless they have been installed correctly with sufficient sumps and overflows they are sure to fail and nearly always causes damage to the inside of your home or premises.
Eave gutters are the most common type of gutters on homes and in theory, as they are on the outside edge of your roof they should not cause too much damage when they overflow. However, if they have not been installed correctly they can also cause significant damage as the water can get into the eave or into the wall. Sometimes this shows up as rising damp or even causes problems with the foundations of the home.
