Home maintenance tip
Home Maintenance Tip – Check your gutters before the autumn rains
Before the heavier autumn rains arrive, take a few minutes to check your gutters and downpipes for leaves, twigs and other debris. Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow into eaves, ceilings and wall cavities, leading to damp patches, mould and even structural damage over time. A simple clean‑out now, or a visit from a local roofing or guttering tradie, can prevent much bigger problems once the weather turns wet.
