Your home guttering system offers a protective shield surrounding your home. Without it, your home may become vulnerable during heavy rainfall, as the water will have no safe route out, only the cracks in your property’s foundation. Therefore, knowing how to fix concrete gutters causing damp by installing concrete gutter lining is key for efficient home maintenance.
What Damage Can Damp Cause?
When water finds a way to seep into your home, this can encourage mould to grow on walls and furniture. Unpleasant odours and marked walls are also a possibility when your home is damp.
How to Fix Concrete Gutters Causing Damp
Concrete gutters have a typical lifetime expectancy of 30+ years. Water will eventually discover routes through mortared joints and risk causing damp in upstairs rooms. While our team has seen many questionable DIY solutions, including lead lining, roof sealant and DIY kits from online, they never seem to work. This is why we recommend concrete gutter liners.
Our concrete gutter liners are designed with a thick grade EPDM seamless liner which offers at least 20 to 50 years of life expectancy. In addition to the durable design, having a team to properly install your concrete gutter lining will guarantee great results.
At MW Roofline, rather than simply laying the liner in your concrete gutter, we care for the surroundings. We strip away many rows of tiles, including removing hip tiles, so we can lay down a single 2 metre wide liner. This will cover the entire length of your concrete gutter for complete protection against damp from leaking concrete gutters.
When working with us, your gutters will be cleared of debris and any leftover repair solutions from before, allowing your gutter to work with full water capacity. To further prevent your concrete gutter from leaking, we will treble seal all corner and mitred joints using an overlap system. We will test that no water can escape anywhere but down your downpipe hole using specially fabricated outlets.
