Three65 Spouting Explain Why Heavy Rainfall Can be a Hazzard to Your Property

Heavy rainfall can cause a lot of damage to your property, and for this reason, having a rainwater system that works is essential. This month Three65 Spouting look at why heavy rainfall can be a hazard to your property, and how to properly maintain your rainwater system.

If your property is situated in an area experiencing heavy rainfall, a routine inspection at this time of the year is necessary. Similarly, if your property constantly experiences flooding, it might be due to a number of reasons, including unmaintained downspouts and rainwater system on your property.

Your rainwater system should be checked yearly, and due to Auckland being a largely coastal city, rainfall contains sodium chloride (salt), which rusts the downspouts over time. This is especially true in older rainwater systems. The solution would be to get your rainwater system inspected by a professional and if the downspouts are rusted, replaced with a high-quality material such as Marine Grade Colorsteel Maxx or copper.

Leaves and debris can get stuck in your downpipes during the spring and summer seasons, and if left unchecked, they can clog your rainwater system during heavy rainfall, increasing the risk of flooding or damage to your property.

The combined weight of the debris and the pooling water can also lead to gutters ripping away from the building, especially in cases where they have been poorly attached. These blockages also occur in downpipes and drains, meaning that there’s no possible way for additional rain to safely filter away from your home.

This can be solved by purchasing a high-quality rain head and leaf guard system.

Heavy rainfall is a cause of major problems for homeowners in Auckland, and having an insufficient or faulty rainwater system can easily cause a lot of damage. To avoid this risk, you should perform routine maintenance on your property and ensure your pipes and drains are free of debris. Even better, consult the team at Three65 Spouting.
