Blocked gutters can backflood into eaves and then into wall frames, causing moisture related problems such as wood decay and create conditions conducive to termite attack. Roof plumbing and stormwater drainage issues are some of the common problems we find in homes across Brisbane.

Roof plumbing not connected to the stormwater system causes dampness around the base of the building which may cause instability in supporting footings and brick work, resulting in damage and distortion.

It is a good idea, coming into storm season that you check your gutters are clear of debris such as leaf matter, dirt and organic growth, that could potentially cause gutter overflow. This will ensure you are protecting your home from the possibility of flooded ceilings, damaged roof timbers, saturation of the internal walls and damage to the building foundations which can result in some serious structural damage.

During all OneHome Building Inspections, we inspect and report on the condition of the gutters and include photographs where required.
