The gutters surrounding your property are a hugely important part of your overall roofing system and as such, they demand regular professional maintenance to not only keep your property aesthetically pleasing, but to prevent any damage from the unpredictable Brisbane elements.
Gutters redirect rainwater away from the perimeter of your property. So it stands to reason if your gutters become overfull or even clogged with environmental fallout and debris, they may no longer function correctly. The failure of your guttering system to function as they should, leads to the high potential for water seeping inside the property, which will naturally result in costly water damage… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Why Brisbane gutters block up so fast
Brisbane's subtropical climate is tough on gutters. Gum trees, jacarandas and palms drop leaves and seed pods year-round, and the dry winter months let that debris pile up and compact. When the summer storm season hits from November to March, a blocked gutter can overflow in minutes, sending water back under the roof sheeting and into eaves, ceilings and wall cavities. Blocked gutters also hold standing water, which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and adds weight that pulls gutters away from the fascia.
For most Brisbane homes we recommend a gutter clean once a year, ideally in spring before the storms. Homes under large trees, or in leafy suburbs like The Gap, Ashgrove, Kenmore, Chapel Hill, Samford and Mount Gravatt, often need a clean every six months.
