What Is a Box Gutter?
A box gutter is a concealed channel installed between roof sections or against walls to collect and direct rainwater. Unlike standard external gutters, box gutters are hidden within the roof structure — so when they fail, leaks can quickly enter ceilings, walls, or interior spaces.
Because of their position and design, box gutters need correct fall, drainage, and waterproofing to work properly.
Common Causes of Box Gutter Leaks
Box gutter leaks are one of the most frequent and expensive roof issues we see. Common causes include:
- Poor fall or incorrect design causing water to pond
- Blocked outlets or sumps from debris buildup
- Corrosion or rust in metal gutters or joins
- Cracked seals or failed joints at corners and seams
- Overflow during heavy rain from undersized outlets
- Poorly installed or deteriorated flashing and membranes
Left untreated, these issues can lead to timber rot, ceiling damage, mould growth, and costly interior repairs.
Our Box Gutter Leak Repair Process
At Kangaroof, we combine leak detection expertise with durable repair methods designed for Sydney’s weather conditions.
- Inspection & Leak Detection
We trace the source of the leak — not just the symptoms — to identify whether it’s caused by blockages, rust, or poor design. - Gutter Cleaning & Testing
We remove debris, clear outlets and downpipes, and water-test the gutter to confirm proper drainage. - Repairs & Resealing
Depending on the issue, we reseal joins, replace rusted sections, install new metal liners, or apply waterproof coatings for long-term protection. - Preventative Maintenance
We advise on fall correction, overflow solutions, or sump modifications to prevent future issues.
Our repairs are done using high-quality materials designed for Australian roofs — and every job is carried out by licensed professionals.
