Why Glenelg gutters fill faster
Leaf litter, roof grit and wind-blown debris all settle in a gutter run, and by the time winter rain arrives a blocked run overflows inside the eaves rather than out. In Glenelg the load is shaped by the tree cover and the shape of the roof, which is why the clean is worked run by run rather than blown down the roof.
Every downpipe at Glenelg is flushed until it runs clear, so the water has somewhere to go when the next storm arrives.
How the clean runs
Every run is scooped by hand into buckets, then flushed with water until it flows clean, and nothing is pushed into a downpipe and left there. The debris is bagged and leaves with us.
Blocks in Glenelg carry deep coastal sands over old dune profiles, free-draining but poor at holding compaction, and the housing is a dense mix of original bungalows, 1960s–80s unit sites and high-end coastal rebuilds.
