- Temporary make-safe, then permanent repair
- Photo reports for insurance claims
What counts as urgent
Water entering the house, a gutter or downpipe hanging loose where it could fall, and box gutters overflowing inside the building all need prompt attention. So does storm damage that leaves the roof edge open to the next downpour.
If there is immediate danger, such as a tree on the roof, major flooding or damage near powerlines, call the NSW SES on 132 500, or Triple Zero (000) if life is at risk. Stay off a wet or damaged roof.
Make-safe and repair
The first visit stops the water and removes hazards: loose sections are secured or taken down, blockages cleared and temporary seals applied. Once things are dry and safe, we quote the permanent repair or replacement.
For insurance claims we provide a written report describing the damage and its cause, with photos, which is what most insurers ask for. Storm, hail and wind damage is commonly covered; gradual wear and lack of maintenance usually is not.
While you wait
- Move belongings and put down buckets and towels.
- If a ceiling is bulging with water, keep clear of it.
- Photograph the damage for your insurer.
- Do not climb onto the roof in wet or windy weather.

Emergency & storm damage: common questions
Does home insurance cover storm-damaged gutters?
Most home building policies cover sudden damage from storms, hail and wind, including gutters. Damage from age, rust or blocked gutters is usually excluded. Check your policy and photograph everything before repairs.
What should I do if my gutter is overflowing into the house?
Protect the inside first with buckets and towels, keep away from sagging ceilings, and request an urgent repair. Do not go onto the roof during the storm.
Can you fix gutters in the rain?
Temporary make-safe work can often be done between showers. Permanent sealing needs dry metal, so the lasting repair is done once the weather clears.
