Gutter & Debris Profile
Elsternwick Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Elsternwick
Leaf matter sitting in a wet gutter for extended periods produces tannic acid, which is aggressive to both steel and aluminium gutter sections. The dark staining below the gutter lip on an older home is typically tannic acid leaching through corroded metal.
Why It Happens
Tannic acid leaching from leaf debris is visible on the exterior of gutters as dark vertical staining below the gutter joints — a reliable indicator that the gutter is not self-clearing between rain events and that corrosion of the gutter base has begun.
How We Fix It
On two-storey homes, we use scaffolding or elevated work platforms for sustained sections of gutter work at height rather than over-reaching from ladders. The job quality on a two-storey gutter run done from a platform is substantially better than the same job done from an extended ladder.
