Many Melbourne homes have downpipes that are incorrectly sized, poorly positioned, rusted through, or simply not capable of handling modern rainfall volumes. During heavy rain, a single roof can shed thousands of litres of water in minutes. If your downpipes cannot move this water quickly enough, gutters overflow back into the eaves and roof structure.

This is one of the leading causes of hidden roof leaks and internal water damage.

We regularly fix issues such as:

• Overflowing gutters during storms
• Rusted and leaking metal downpipes
• Undersized downpipes for large roof areas
• Incorrect placement causing water pooling
• Disconnected or blocked stormwater outlets
• Water running down brickwork and external walls

Correct downpipe installation is not just about replacing a pipe. It is about calculating the correct size, placement, fall, and stormwater connection so water leaves your roof efficiently.

Fascia boards are what your gutters are mounted to. When fascia begins to rot, split, or weaken, the gutters lose support and start sagging. Once this happens, the gutter no longer has the correct fall, water pools inside it, and overflow begins.

Over time, this leads to:

• Roof leaks at the eaves
• Water damage behind the gutter line
• Peeling paint and timber rot
• Gutters pulling away from the house
• Mould and moisture inside the roof cavity

We replace damaged timber fascia with durable, long lasting materials that provide a strong mounting surface for your guttering system and restore the correct alignment for water flow.

Many homeowners do not realise there is an issue until water damage appears internally. Some early warning signs include:

• Gutters overflowing in moderate rain
• Visible rust holes in downpipes
• Sagging or misaligned gutter sections
• Peeling paint or swelling timber behind gutters
• Water stains on external walls
• Pooling water near the base of the property
• Persistent damp smell in roof spaces

If you notice any of these, it is often a sign that your roof drainage system is no longer working effectively.
