Salt corrosion eating through galvanised and aluminium gutters
Why it happens here
Properties within a few streets of Werribee South Beach get constant salt spray, and metal gutters, brackets and rivets corrode far faster than inland. Galvanised steel is usually the first to fail, often within a decade on exposed homes.
Our approach
We inspect fixings and gutter interiors on every coastal visit, replace corroded brackets and rivets with coastal-rated parts, and recommend Colorbond or copper when replacement makes more sense than repeated repairs.
