Roof & Planter Boxes in Moonee Ponds - Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my Moonee Ponds heritage home's gutters checked?
We recommend twice-yearly gutter inspections for Moonee Ponds heritage homes: once in late autumn after leaf fall, and once in spring to check for winter damage. Box gutters and valley flashings should be inspected annually by a qualified tradesperson, as failures can cause catastrophic water damage.
Can plant roots damage waterproofing?
Absolutely. Root penetration is one of the most common causes of planter box waterproofing failure. We install dedicated root barrier membranes to prevent this.
How often should roof waterproofing be inspected?
We recommend annual inspections of roof membranes, especially in Melbourne's variable climate, to catch small issues before they become major leaks.
Do you repair box gutters?
Yes. Box gutter failures are a frequent source of roof leaks. We repair and re-line box gutters with durable membrane systems.
