Rainwater overflow discharging on to neighbouring buildings

Detail: 

Poor gutter alignment detail (10+ years ago) resulted in insufficient fall to nearest rainhead outlet.

Project challenges:  

• Access was through the busy street front, due to proximity of neighbouring buildings, which would require temporary street closure. 
• Client was looking for solution other than complete roof and gutter reconstruction/replacement.

Outcome:

The APS Roofing Team removed existing gutters, re-formed the gutter base with more height, and reshaped the timber structure from the new roof alignment to create additional fall.

The project was completed:

• At considerable cost saving with significantly fewer materials, all transported via internal access to the roof location.
• Excellent flow from improved fall to the rear rainhead outlet location.
• A much wider, more accessible gutter that can be easily cleared of any debris build-up.
• No overflow to neighbouring building.
