Eavestroughs Don’t Drain Completely

Acceptable Performance/Condition
Eavestroughs shall generally slope to drains.

Warranty
One -Year Work and Materials
Damage resulting from improper maintenance is not covered by the warranty.

Action
Eavestroughs not meeting the acceptable condition shall be repaired.

Remarks
Under normal rainfall conditions and when gutter is unobstructed by debris, the water level should not exceed 25mm in depth. Industry practice is to install gutter approximately level. Consequently, it is entirely possible that small amounts of water will stand in certain sections of gutter immediately after a rain.
