## Clogged gutters cause roof and ceiling damage

Clogged gutters are one of the most common causes of roof and ceiling damage in South East Queensland homes. Leaf litter, seed pods, bark and debris accumulate in unprotected gutters, causing water to back up, overflow into wall cavities and, in worst cases, under the roof line and into the ceiling space.

Brisbane and the Gold Coast are home to some of Australia’s most prolific leaf-dropping trees — blue gums, jacarandas, poinciana, camphor laurel and palms all shed year-round. Combined with intense summer rainfall, debris-blocked gutters can overflow in minutes during a storm.

Guard Types

## The right guard for your property

### Aluminium Mesh

Fine or medium mesh over the gutter opening — durable, effective and the most popular option for suburban Brisbane and Gold Coast homes.

### Steel Mesh

Heavier gauge for commercial buildings, heavy canopy or bush-interface areas where ember protection is also a consideration.

### Foam Insert

Cellular foam inserts that sit inside the gutter — a lower-cost entry point that requires periodic replacement as foam degrades in UV.

### Brush-Style

Cylindrical brush inserts — debris accumulates on top and can be swept off. Useful in specific applications, less so in heavy leaf conditions.

Why It Matters

## Professional installation makes the difference

Gutter guard installed incorrectly — too flat, or fitted so it sheds water over the guard — can cause more problems than no guard at all.

- Correct pitch & profile — fitted so water channels into the gutter, not over it.
- Inspection access — fitted so gutters can still be inspected and maintained.
- Reduced cleaning — full cleaning becomes an annual or biennial task, not a post-storm emergency.
- Profile compatibility — adapts to half-round, quad, ogee and fascia gutters.
- Warranty-safe — installed without compromising roof sheet, flashing or gutter fixing.
- Ember consideration — steel mesh options for bush-interface properties.

Common Questions

## Frequently asked questions

No — but it significantly reduces frequency. Some fine debris, seeds and sediment will still accumulate over time and periodic inspection is recommended. However, full cleaning becomes an annual or biennial task rather than a post-storm emergency.

For most Brisbane and Gold Coast properties with mature trees, aluminium mesh is preferred. It has a much longer service life than foam (decades vs years) and provides more reliable performance in heavy debris conditions.

Most mesh and frame systems adapt to standard residential profiles including half-round, quad, ogee and fascia gutters. We measure and cut to suit during installation.

When correctly installed by a licensed contractor, gutter guard should not affect your roofing warranty. We install systems in a manner that does not compromise the roof sheet, flashing or gutter fixing.
