Spouting Replacements
The Importance of Good Fascia and Spouting
The weather in New Zealand can cause extreme damage to buildings over time. Your home is exposed to many problems caused by the climate.
Fascia and guttering plays an important role in the integrity of your home by providing a water management system for roofing and cladding.
When storms hit and heavy rains come, your gutters might hold a large volume of water that needs to be directed away from the building.
The Problem With Old Fascia and Gutter
Fascia-style (internal) guttering systems have several problems that could cause leaks into walls and lead to leaky building syndrome.
When there are blockages of water, excess rainwater during heavy rain will overflow back into the house, without the owner being aware.
The wall of a house can easily be rotted away behind the fascia and soffit because of the constant buildup of leaves or other debris blocking the gutters and downspout.
Often, the decaying leaves and leaves blocking gutters also harbor aggressive decay fungi that will cause damage to a house.

When To Replace Your Roof Fascia & Spouting?
You need to get your fascia and gutter replaced if it appears to be damaged, chipped, weather-stained, or bowing.
You should contact Generation Spouting to get advice about the best time to replace the fascia and gutter if you see any of the following signs:
Roof leak damage: if you left your fascia unsealed or did not trim it correctly, it might get moisture stained. Because of this condition moisture can go through the board and get into the wood creating potential rot in the fascia board. Over time the fascia also might loosen from its anchors causing it to fall.
Corrosion or rust: If you have a steel internal gutter system and water has been pooling, your will start to see rust, particularly at the corner joints in the spouting system.
Mould, fungus, and algae: These three growths can grow on fascia boards that are routinely wet. Worse, these growths can eventually spread to a roof and cause sags and leaks.
