Blocked gutters from mature street trees
Why it happens here
Mossfiel has a dense canopy of established trees, especially along Heaths Road and around Mossfiel Reserve. They drop leaves, seed pods and small branches into gutters through autumn and winter, and the debris compacts into a solid mass that holds water against the metal.
Our approach
We clear the full run with a gutter scoop and vacuum, then flush the downpipes to confirm flow. For heavily affected homes, we recommend aluminium gutter guards that shed leaves while letting water through, cutting cleaning frequency to once a year.
