FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
USEFUL ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BOOK.
Questions vary by property. These are the practical starting points we cover most often.
CAN LEAKING GUTTERS BE REPAIRED OR DO THEY NEED REPLACEMENT?
It depends on the condition and extent of damage. Localised leaks may be repairable, while widespread deterioration can make replacement of a section more practical.
WHY DOES MY GUTTER OVERFLOW IN HEAVY RAIN?
Overflow can be caused by restrictions, poor falls, outlet issues, capacity or other drainage conditions. We inspect the system before recommending changes.
CAN YOU REPLACE DAMAGED DOWNPIPES?
Yes. We can repair or replace suitable downpipe sections and address accessible connection issues.
DO YOU CONNECT GUTTERS AND DOWNPIPES TO STORMWATER DRAINAGE?
We can complete suitable rainwater plumbing connections where they form part of the property’s drainage system and the required work is within scope.
CAN GUTTER PROBLEMS CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING?
Yes. Water repeatedly overflowing or leaking against walls, eaves or foundations can contribute to moisture problems, so persistent issues should be investigated.
