Most homeowners don’t give their gutters much thought—until water starts pouring where it shouldn’t. At Unitech SA, we’ve been called in countless times to fix gutters that were poorly installed from day one. The truth is, many new homes and even renovations are fitted with gutter systems that look fine—but don’t work.
Why? Because too many builders treat gutters as an afterthought. But we don’t.
At Unitech SA, we understand that gutters are more than a cosmetic finish—they’re part of your home’s critical water management system, and when installed incorrectly, they lead to a long list of expensive problems.
What Most Builders Get Wrong
We’ve seen it all:
- Gutters installed without the right fall, so water pools instead of draining
- Incorrect pipe sizing, leading to overflow during heavy rains
- Joins that aren’t sealed properly, which eventually leak
- Mismatch between roof pitch and gutter position, so water bypasses the gutter entirely
- No allowance for expansion, causing warping and cracks
- No overflows or downpipe spread, so one downpipe handles too much
- These flaws might not show up right away—but after one or two Gauteng storms, things get real. Water starts pooling, fascia boards rot, internal damp sets in, and before you know it, you’re dealing with ceilings, paint, and even foundation repairs.
What Makes Unitech SA Different?
At Unitech SA, we take a smarter, long-term approach to gutter installation and replacement. When we work on your home, we ask:
- Is your roof slope correct for the type of gutter?
- Are the downpipes positioned to avoid pooling or backflow?
- Is the system sized for the volume of water your roof collects during storms?
- Do the gutters integrate properly with waterproofing and drainage?
We don’t guess—we measure, calculate, and install with precision. Our team works with you to make sure your gutter system works not just in summer drizzle, but in full-blown downpours.
And if your current system is failing? We know exactly how to correct it—without replacing everything unnecessarily.
Why Gutters Matter More Than You Think
Your gutter system is the first line of defence against water damage to your home. When it fails, water doesn’t just drip—it infiltrates:
- Your walls and ceilings
- Your roof trusses
- Your foundations
- Your paintwork
- Your peace of mind
What starts as “just a little leak” can turn into a nightmare of internal repairs. At Unitech SA, we help homeowners avoid that spiral altogether.

We’re the team people call after the damage is done—but we’d rather help you before it gets that far.
Whether you’re building, renovating, or noticing signs like:
- Overflowing water during rain
- Water stains on fascia boards
- Damp marks on walls or ceilings
- Gutters pulling away from the wall…it’s time to call Unitech SA.
