At Roof Welington we are not only residential reroofing specialists but also residential spouting specialists. We can install your spouting at the same time that we install your new roof. There is no better time than during a re-roof to install new spouting. Roof Wellington can offer you advice and will offer the very best materials and products and spouting solution. As always, Roof Wellington uses high quality roofing products and spouting products whether it be Marley Plastic Spouting or Colorsteel spouting products.
When replacing your roof really is the best time to replace your spouting. Not only is having a solid roof vital to protect your home when it's raining but so is a solid spouting system. With run-down or ineffective spouting, your home and property is at risk of flooding in areas that it really shouldn't. During the re-roofing process our very own spouting specialist Drew will install spouting that will not only complement the effectiveness of your new roof - it will also look fantastic. We recommend the very best materials that will last and we can supply Marley plastic spouting and Colorsteel spouting products in a variety of colours and profiles. We will provide advice on what products best suit your home and your environment.
A solid spouting system is paramount to keeping your roof and your home in the very best condition and is a key factor in optimum home maintenance. Wellington weather reliably brings with it plenty of rain and every roof requires a full proof spouting system so excess water can run into the gutters surrounding the roof, and is then carried to the ground through downpipes.
In short, without spouting, your home won’t last nearly as long as it is meant to, and this will cost you big in constant repairs. All buildings must have some form of spouting implemented as part of their roofing solutions. A spouting system is integral to any home in our climate, it provides incredibly important solutions for protecting our property from the elements. Installing a quality spouting system can save you a lot of money in the long run.
Rainwater running down the side of your house can discolour and damage your cladding and windows as moisture, dirt and debris from your roof is dragged down with it. Adequate spouting and downpipes can prevent puddling, mould, and sagging which can create issues for your roof and your cladding. Dampness on your walls and your roof can make your home feel like a cold, damp space. Long term, moisture can seep into your cladding, roofing and any other nooks and crannies and can lead to major issues such as rotting wood and damage to other housing materials.
When water accumulates in your roof or walls, it can easily lead to black mould appearing in your home. Without spouting, water pools on your roof and can sink into your ceilings, or can accumulate from damp walls after heavy rain. When moisture accumulates in your roof, it can cause the whole area between your roof and your ceiling to grow mould and become toxic. You wouldn’t even notice it for a long time before it seeps through your ceiling itself, but you and your family could be breathing in the harmful, damp air and getting very sick.
Roof Wellington uses continuous spouting. There are no joins with continuous spouting and we will measure and cut to ensure a smooth path for water to drain from the roof to the gutters to the downpipes and away from your roof and your cladding. There is less chance of a blockage with continuous spouting.
Just like every other area of your home, maintenance is key and gutters that are clogged with leaves and debris can cause lots of problems. We recommend you clean out your gutters at least twice a year - in spring and in autumn. After particularly windy periods or if you have a lot of foliage around your property, cleaning out of the gutters may even need to be carried out more frequently. By keeping the gutters and downpipes clear, it extends the life of your gutters and will protect the exterior of your house.
Clogged gutters and downpipes are a common issue especially after there has been a lot of wind and leaves and debris end up in the gutters and block the downpipe. Water will spill out over the guttering because the water flow capacity has been reduced.
If you see any of the below in or around your gutters, it's a sure sign to clear out your gutters.
The heavy, concentrated rainwater that falls off a roof without spouting can also cause massive amounts of flooding in our backyards or outdoor areas. Spouting protects the soil and concrete that landscapes your property, by preventing rain water falling off the roof onto the ground below in heavy amounts. Rain is great for your garden, but when rain accumulates on your roof it concentrates at the edges, making the rainfall a lot heavier than normal when it hits the ground. If this happens a lot, as it does with Wellington weather, the force can cause soil to erode significantly and even form cracks in concrete and can lead to our homes themselves becoming unstable as their foundations decay.
