Box gutters, as their name suggests, are gutters that are ‘boxed in’ to form a concealed channel that doesn’t allow water to flow over the lip of the gutter– if you can’t see your gutter, it’s probably a box gutter. While box gutters are not overly common on the roofs of Sydney homes, they may be present at the join between two roofs, where they channel water from both roof areas into sumps and downpipes.
The most common type of gutters on Sydney homes are eaves gutters. These gutters are fixed to your home’s eaves (or, for homes that don’t have eaves, along the edge of the roof) and are designed to collect rainwater as it runs off your roof.
The next major gutter problem for Sydney homes is inadequate maintenance. Because gutters are an open channel, they collect airborne dirt and leaf litter along with rain water. If enough leaf litter collects in your gutters it can clog the channel, preventing it from funnelling water into the downpipe and stormwater system.
