Replace The Gutters Or Gutter Repairs?

 Gutter Replacement Or Gutter Repairs?

Gutter repairs should not be left until the middle of winter, but usually most home owners do not realize there is a problem with the guttering until it starts pouring cats and dogs and roof leaks start appearing. Spotting roof leaks can often be quite difficult unless experience in roof and gutter replacement is a strong point.

Water leaks can run down roofing beams and start making that dreaded water mark on the ceiling quite a way away from where the leak is actually occurring. Some common causes of roof leaks are broken tiles, rusted roof sheeting, damaged guttering and the roof leak cause list can go on and on. 

Commonly around additions to the home, like a verandah can cause debris to build up in the modified and restricted gutters. This often causes water to overflow and cause the guttering to rust out or leak, causing clear white water stains around the gutters under the verandah or carport guttering and fascia board. These type of roof leaks are easy to locate and rectify by keeping the gutters cleaned on a regular basis. 

The more subtle roof leaks are usually blocked roof valleys, rusted and corroded roof fixings and other roofing damage such as roof flashing and the roofing sheets themselves rust out over time if roofing maintenance isn't performed on a regular basis before winter and after winter. 

There are many ways to repair gutters, it really depends on what the ultimate outcome required. If its an old home, set for demolished in a few years, then replacing the guttering isn't really an option. That is when less expensive but temporary gutter repairs are carried out at minimum cost and problems to the home owner or landlord. Keeping the gutters cleaned and down pipes flushed every 6 months will greatly increase the lifespan of a guttering system in Adelaide, South Australia and reduce the amount of gutter repairs required.

When a roof leak is finally located, it should be repaired as soon as practical as often extensive water damage can occur if roof and gutter leaks are not repaired promptly. Paying a few hundred dollars per year to keep the gutters clean and free from blockages is not much to pay compared to a collapsed ceiling or water damaged housing foundations. 

If the guttering has been damaged on a reasonably new home, then a complete gutter replacement is often the better decision when it comes to roof and gutter repairs. The most effective way to keep the gutters and roofing in good condition is to keep the gardens and trees cut back, the gutters and roofing clear of tree debris and other rubbish. Preventative maintenance is always the most cost effective solution when it comes to home and roofing maintenance.

If your gutters and down pipes are leaking every time it rains, its usually a sign that the gutters and down pipes need to be replaced to prevent any water damage from taking place from rusted gutters and blocked down pipe's. 

There are many gutter replacement companies in Adelaide, South Australia. Gutters that need replacing will often show signs of surface rust and small holes that get bigger and bigger if the rusted guttering is not treated or replaced with new guttering.

When the guttering and roofing maintenance is regularly scheduled for a gutter cleaning and minor gutter repair service it can clearly be seen that the gutters and roofing easily out last and more durable to age than roofing and gutters that never get regular maintenance services such as gutter cleaning and washing tree debris off the roofing. Getting the gutters cleaned by roofing contractors can be an easy solution if someone can't or does not have time to clean the guttering and flush out down pipe's. 

Ensuring the guttering is free from debris and vermin is essential when it comes to rainwater collection systems. Is the rain water getting dirtier and dirtier? Have you checked the guttering and roofing? Dirty gutters will often change the taste of rain water for the worst. 

Who wants to drink rain water that has mud, contaminants and other harmful bacteria lurking in it. Keeping a water tank clean will also greatly increase the quality of the rain water. If you do collect rainwater its a good idea to install a water filter on the rainwater tap to filter out harmful contaminants.

Gutter Cleaning Requirements By Landlords

Did you know that your landlord or real estate agent is responsible for your roofing maintenance and gutter cleaning? Is water getting into your roofing and causing your belongings damage every time it rains because the private landlord doesn't want or feel the need to replace or repair the water leak in the ceiling or roofing areas? Then South Australia has a government department that takes care of all substandard and unlivable homes. They actually need the work so that this department stays operations.

The Housing Improvement Branch, or HIB for short. is tasked with making sure houses and premises are kept to a standard and livable condition called the Housing Improvement Branch, or HIB for short. You can ring them for free or visit. Get a free inspection of your home and make the landlord clean or replace any major damage and maintenance issues around the rental property, Check out lik to the website above for a more detailed description of how they make private landlords make repairs when they are refusing to fix basic maintenance issues around the home that is being rented. The HIB can make applications to the tribunal on your behalf to lower the amount of rent to be paid until the specified problem is repaired. Some of the biggest cases the HIB has had to conduct in SA has been due to leaking roofs and blocked guttering. If you visit their website and take a look, roofing and roof leaks as well as guttering are the first 2-3 points they pick on substandard homes in South Australia.

Have you got a rusted downpipe? The gutters are getting regular blockages and regular waterfalls appear
from the gutters and roofing every time in rains? Then you should contact the Housing Improvement Branch which is the governments watchdog to ensure that the standard of housing around South Australia is kept at a good standard and landlords are held accountable to ensure the properties that they rent out are actually livable according to the South Australian Government. Why not visit the website online that describes in more depth what a tenant must do if their property is falling apart and the landlord refuses to repair certain things and fixtures on your home to save themselves a buck. We are not picking on landlords here, the majority of experienced homeowners and landlords will maintain the investment properties.

If you find that negotiations with your landlord have failed, then start collecting evidence, take photos of the several things itemized on the Home Improvement Branch website. Things like exposed electrical wiring, unlock-able electricity box, windows that locks no longer work effectively, gutter cleaning, roof cleaning and fixing any water leaks around your homes ceilings, downpipes and guttering next time it it rains. Gutter Guys will usually use a garden hose and ensure that the last bits of much are cleared in the gutters and then the downpipe flushed if its blocked up. All to often its usually a tennis balls blocking the downpipe causing the debris to back up gains the gutter and not leave through the storm water, getting the landlord to pay for regular gutter cleaning can prevent further damage to the rental premises. Does that sound strange to you? Its true and pretty much only allowed if its for your legal interest South Australian Parliament and the SA Courts has stated on numerous occasions. Did you know that WorkSafe SA require that two people be onsite when working on heights above two meters? If you do see a contractor working on a roof alone above 2 meters, make sure they are not working or contracted out to your residential premises. Once you have a found a series of major flaws in your home, from the foundations, to pests, vermin, guttering, roof leaks, faulty electrical wiring, the next step is to bring it to the attention of the relevant government bodies like the Home Improvement Branch?

Gutter Gutters Cleaned By The Home Improvement Branch

The best outcome is the landlord realizing that you are serious about getting the maintenance problems around the rental property repaired and up to standard. Especially the guttering and roofing during the winter months in Adelaide, South Australia. The HIB can make an order that you only have to pay half the amount of rent until the maintenance issues are dealt with and the gutters and roofing replaced, cleaned or repaired which ever was the main cause of the roofing maintenance issue.

How To Clean Gutters With Gutter Guards

So you decided to clean the the gutters but realized there is a gutter protection system installed and needs to be completely removed and thrown into the bin or re-installed after the guttering has been cleaned and any blocked up downpipes cleared of any blockages by being flushed out with a garden hose. Depending on what type of gutter guard you have installed on your guttering will depend on the tools required to remove the gutter mesh and clean out the gutters. The hardest part is working out how to clean gutters with gutter guards installed. The dismantling of old gutter guards and mesh can be a tedious job, sometimes taking 3-4hrs to complete on a standard single story home.

The most popular one that is often advertised on television and in the shopping malls is the gutter mesh style guards that are just not designed for residential or commercial premises with large gum trees or any other tree that drops a lot of leaves, bark and branches. This type of the gutter mesh needs to be unscrewed piece by piece, remembering where the gutter mesh capping needs to be put back on. Removing gutter guards and other types of gutter protection systems is a tedious and time consuming task, often taking several hours to remove and clean. Then another couple of hours to re-install the gutter protection system.

                           

Regular Gutter Guard Cleaning

If you have gutter mesh installed, then do not worry. Regular cleaning of the gutter mesh and flushing the gutters with a garden hose will help to make sure the gutter mesh does its job. The main cause of guttering getting blocked even when gutter guards are installed, is because regular roof cleaning was not being carried out on a regular basis. If gutter mesh is cleaned every couple of months then there is not enough time for the leaves, tree debris and sticks to decompose and eventually fall into the guttering and blocking up gutters and downpipes.

Gutter Guards Adelaide

Sick of getting the gutters cleaned? When it comes to installing quality gutter guards, you cant go past Fielders gutter guards Adelaide, its a superior leaf protection system compared to gutter mesh. While the traditional gutter mesh installs do not allow for regular maintenance, these steel gutter guards do and also come with a great twenty year warranty.

Often a period of time the gutter mesh will collapse under the weight of built up tree debris and tear away from the fixings on the edge of the guttering. Another common problem with gutter mesh, that isn't found in these new gutter guards is that cleaning inside the mesh after a few years is almost impossible with regular gutter mesh. In the picture to our left we can see an example of the collapsing gutter mess under the weight of the fallen tree debris. Gum trees are notorious culprits.

They not only drop leaves, but also gum-nuts, branches as well as large bits of bark all year round. What is worse is that local councils often refuse to cut them down even if they are damaging the foundations of your home because they are protected in Adelaide, South Australia as a wildlife species of trees when they have a large circumference around the lower trunk.

Quality Adelaide Gutter Guards

Fielders gutter guards are a great gutter guard and can easily be removed to clean the guttering and unblock the various downpipes if moss and dirt has built up over the years. Regardless of what the gutter mesh installers said, you still need to regularly clean the gutters.

When we install gutter guard Adelaide we also spray on an anti moss treatment that prevents the buildup of moss and other contaminants in your guttering system. These gutter guards are mostly suited around areas with dense foliage but will still require regular maintenance once a year.

This gutter protection system is highly recommended for properties that have no trees around because they keep pests and vermin out of the guttering and roof space. They also pretty much guarantee at least 10 years of no guttering maintenance and most companies offer a free check of the Fielders guttering protection every 10 years if you are in this situation, with minimum tree foliage around your home.   

Fielders Gutter Guards

When installing the Fielders gutter guard system, you should read the installation instructions and make sure you follow them carefully to ensure all round leaf guard protection.

You should always wear a strong pair of gloves when installing the gutter guard system to prevent scratches and cuts. 

Other important factors to take when you are installing your gutter guards at home is that you need to make sure that the gutters are really clean, even flush them out with water and make sure nothing is left inside the guttering and downpipes. A blocked downpipe would ruin all the hard work.

1. Remove the gutter guards from its packaging, each packed to comes with 5 lengths of 10 2 meters with a total of 10 meters per pack. So ensure you get enough packets of gutter guards.

Be careful not to dent the ends of the Fielders gutters guards as this will make it harder to install later on.

2. Climb ladder and decide where you want to start. A good place to start installing the gutter guard is to start at a straight edge where you do not have to cut any miters into the gutter guard you can just pop it is. Follow the instructions how to easily pop in these gutter guards.

3. Next step is to keep going around the home 2 meter length by 2 meter length of gutter guards. Try and overlap each one by about 1 cm as this will help to keep the gutter guards flush and block out and unwanted vermin inside your gutters.

4. This is the trick part, cutting the corner miters that are required to go around the corners of your guttering. Get a miter box if you have trouble getting the corner miters right on the gutter guards and this should give you as perfect job. Again you can buy a cheap miter box at your local Bunnings Hardware store for around $10.00 for a cheap one of $50 for a high quality.
