Signs That Your Gutters Need Repairing 

Your roof gutters are one of the most important parts of the roof. They do a number of important jobs, such as controlling water flow to prevent water damage, preventing erosion and also stopping mould and mildew from forming around your roof. Therefore, it is vital that you understand the signs that your gutter might be in need of repair.

There Are Visual Holes

One of the quickest and easiest ways to check on your guttering is by completing visual checks. If you have walked around your property and have noticed that there are visible holes, cracks or breaks, it is time to call a plumber. If you don’t, water may start dripping down your walls, which could damage them.

You Have Noticed Water Damage

This is another clear-cut sign that your gutters aren’t working properly. If you notice water damage throughout your home, it is a certain sign that your guttering isn’t up to standard. After all, your guttering has been designed to stop water damage from occurring.

If you notice water damage in any part of your home, contact our team at Matt Diamond plumbing today to fix the problem as fast as possible. 

Your Gutters Are Overflowing 

This is perhaps the most common problem experienced by homeowners. Gutter overflow is typically caused as a result of guttering being installed on an incorrect slope. Combine this with blockages such as branches and leaves, and your gutter may start overflowing.

Although it might not seem like a big issue, overflowing gutters need to be fixed as soon as possible, as it can cause significant water damage.

Why You May Need To Replace Your Guttering

If your guttering is faulty, you are putting your property at risk. Water damage is a big deal for any type of home and a faulty gutter can lead to long term loss of integrity to the structure. A faulty gutter can cause mould to form, which puts the health of you and your family at risk too, especially if any of them have asthma or other lung conditions. As well as the risk of mould, faulty guttering can cause rot to wooden aspects of the building, and if left unrectified, can even get into the foundations of your home and cause serious instability.

If you’ve checked that there are no clogs and that the gutters are correctly aligned, it may be time to think about getting replacement guttering. Whilst this is obviously more expensive than a simple repair, if your gutters are deteriorating, replacement may be a more cost-effective solution in the long term.

Guttering Repair & Maintenance FAQs

What are the most common gutter problems?

The most common gutter problem experienced by homeowners is gutter overflow. Gutter overflow occurs when guttering is installed at the incorrect slope. This combined with blockages like fallen leaves or build-up of sediment means that water is prevented from draining away completely.


If your gutters overflow rather than passing water through the downpipes, it can cause water damage to your property and wasted water that otherwise would’ve been directed into your rainwater tanks. At Matt Diamond Plumbing, our roofing and guttering solutions will keep your gutters in top condition. Get in touch with our friendly plumbers and roofers today.

How can you maximise rainwater collection with your gutters?

During long periods of drought or intermittent rainfall, maximising your collection of rainwater is vital. At Matt Diamond Plumbing, we’ve got a few tips on making the most of your gutters when it comes to collecting rainwater:


1. Check your gutters are installed at the right angle to ensure that you’re getting sufficient drainage. If the pitch is too moderate, it won’t take much for water to pool & overflow, while long gutters are often best to begin the pitch in the middles, diverting water to each end.


2. Consider increasing the capacity of your gutters. Not only does increasing the capacity allow you to capture more water for storage, but it also significantly reduces the chances of overflow & resulting damages.


3. Add leaf guards as well as leaf-shedding rain heads to your downpipes when upgrading your guttering system. These additions can help prevent blockages & increase the volume of water directed to your downpipes & into your rainwater tank.


At Matt Diamond Plumbing, we specialise in the installation of guttering and rainwater tanks to ensure Dubbo residents make the most of their rainwater systems. If you feel you could be getting more from your roofing and guttering, contact us today.

How much do rainwater tanks cost?

Rainwater tanks can be an important addition to many homes. Not only do they shrink your environmental footprint, but they help save on your water bill in the long run. In general,  rainwater tanks can cost between $700 and $2000 or more depending on the size, finish and strength of the tank, as well as any necessary extras like pumps and filters.


If you are thinking of installing a new rainwater tank, you may be eligible for various government rebates to reduce the overall cost. The Dubbo Regional Council are offering a  $250 rebate on rainwater tanks above two kilolitres. In addition, if you are a primary producer, you may be eligible for a one-off rebate for up to $25,000 as part of the  NSW Government’s Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme, including water tanks.


For more information on rainwater tank installation costs, get in touch with us at  Matt Diamond Plumbing  on  (02) 6884 1531  and we’ll be happy to assist you in any way we can.
