Balgowlah Heights - Gutter Leaks Solved

Is your Northern Beaches home experiencing frustrating gutter leaks?

Don't let water damage compromise your property! At Cloud9 Roofing & Guttering we’re experienced in diagnosing and resolving even the trickiest gutter problems, ensuring your home stays dry and protected.

We recently tackled a complex gutter repair job in Balgowlah Heights that highlights common issues homeowners face.

Our detailed site analysis uncovered several critical areas needing attention:

Addressing Gutter Misalignment & Movement:

• Downpipe Correction: We found a downpipe offset on a balcony preventing the gutter from sitting correctly. Our team carefully removed the offset, trimmed the downpipe, and ensured the gutter now sits perfectly on its bracket, restoring proper flow.

  
  

• Securing Loose Gutters: A curved gutter with significant movement was re-secured to the fascia as best as possible. While full immobility isn't always achievable with existing structures, we significantly improved its stability.

  
  

• Enhanced Waterproofing: To combat persistent leaks, we applied a waterproof membrane inside the curved gutter. This aims to create a better seal and prevent leaks, although absolute guarantees can be difficult with complex existing setups.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Fixing Flat Roof & Gutter Intersections:

A major concern was a poorly installed flat roof with minimal overhang into the curved gutter, creating a visible void vulnerable to wind-driven rain. To seal this critical gap, we applied an imitation lead flashing. This flexible solution effectively bridges the space between the roof and the gutter, preventing future water ingress.

Essential Finishing Touches:

Beyond the gutters, we also addressed cosmetic and protective elements:

• Fascia Painting: The fascia under the curved gutter was expertly sanded and painted from corner to corner, revitalising its appearance.

  
  

• Lintel Rust Treatment: Rust on a lintel above a window on the curved wall was stain-blocked, followed by two coats of Dulux Weathershield paint, matched as closely as possible to the existing finish.
