Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not always. Overflow can be leaf litter, a blocked or undersized downpipe, or a stormwater line that has blocked further down. It can also be guttering that is too small for the roof area feeding it. We check the whole path before recommending a replacement.

  • Usually both. It is normally a downpipe that discharges onto the ground or into a line that is blocked, undersized or was never connected properly. Because we do the underground drainage as well, we can follow it from the gutter through to the discharge point.

  • Yes. Water very rarely enters where the stain appears, so it is a matter of following it back. We check the likely entry points and the roof plumbing details that commonly fail, then repair what we find.

  • We clear them as part of diagnosing and carrying out roof plumbing work. If all you need is a routine seasonal clean with no repair involved, a gutter cleaning service is usually a cheaper way to get that done.

  • It comes down to the metres of guttering, the number of downpipes, roof height and access. A single storey home with clear access is well below a steep two storey job needing scaffold. We will quote on your actual roof.

  • Yes. Roof plumbing across the Dandenong Ranges and the hills townships of the Yarra Ranges is regular work for us, and gutters under heavy tree cover are a large part of it. Check the Areas We Serve page for the suburb list.

A Closer Look at Roof Plumbing

Gutters and Downpipes

Guttering has one job, which is moving a lot of water quickly to a downpipe. Rust, sagging sections, poor fall and downpipes that are too few or too small all stop that happening.

The damage is rarely to the gutter itself. It is the fascia behind it, the eaves above it and the wall the overflow runs down.

Where the Water Goes Next

A downpipe that spills onto the ground beside the house is a slow problem. Water soaking in next to the footings is exactly what you do not want, particularly on a sloping block.

Connecting downpipes into a stormwater line and out to the legal point of discharge is the fix, and it often needs new underground line to get there.

Finding a Roof Leak

Water travels along battens, framing and ceiling linings before it drops, so the stain on the ceiling is almost never under the hole.

Chasing it back to the real entry point is the whole job. Sealing the first likely looking spot just moves the problem and wastes the callout.

Roofs Under Heavy Tree Cover

Across the hills suburbs and any established street, gutters fill with leaf litter faster than anywhere else, and gutters that stay full stay wet.

That is what rusts them out early. It is worth factoring in when you are deciding between patching an old gutter and replacing the run.
