What Commercial Roof Plumbing Covers and When You Need It

Roof plumbing is the part of the roof that moves water: gutters, downpipes, overflows, flashings and penetrations. In Queensland it is licensed work. A gutter-cleaning outfit or a handyman cannot legally install or alter it. Call us when you see:

Why Commercial Box Gutters Are Sized for Heavier Storms Than Domestic Ones

AS/NZS 3500.3 sets a longer storm recurrence interval for box gutters than for eaves gutters, because a box gutter that overflows discharges into the ceiling, not over the edge. The Plumbing Code and HB 39 also require a dedicated overflow that carries water clear of the structure. Many older Brisbane commercial roofs have no overflow at all, and gutter sizes are rarely recalculated when a roof area changes. That is where most storm damage starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Installs and repairs the parts of a roof that carry water: gutters, downpipes, overflows, flashings and rainwater systems. Licensed work in Queensland.

An eaves gutter hangs off the edge and overflows outward. A box gutter sits inside the roofline and overflows inward, so it is sized to a harsher standard and needs its own overflow.

Roof plumbers do. Most commercial leaks trace back to failed flashings or penetrations cut after the original sign-off. Sealant alone buys about one season.

Length, access, whether the falls and outlets need redesigning, and how much flashing comes with it.

Twice a year, with the second visit before storm season. Industrial sites with dust or debris need tighter intervals.
