Box gutters and roof drainage in Point Cook
Box gutters sit within the roof rather than at its edge, so they carry more water in a concealed position and a blockage has nowhere benign to go. The safeguard is the overflow, and it has to discharge to the atmosphere where a failure is visible. We have recorded a Point Cook box gutter overflow plumbed so it does not, which turns a visible warning into a hidden one.

A box gutter sits inside the roof, so a blockage backs up into the building.
The overflow must discharge to atmosphere, visibly, not into the drainage system.
Plumbed into the system, a blockage gives no warning until the ceiling fails.
Construction debris in gutters is the most common cause of the blockage.
Broken roof tiles let water into the space above the ceiling.
