If that flow rockets off the roof edge, it can shoot straight past your gutter — a headache known as sheet-flow overshoot. The right   Gutter Guard mesh , installed properly and paired with compliant overflow measures, can keep that water where it belongs: in your gutters, not cascading over your fascia or front step. 🌧️ Gutter Guard Mesh First things first: what causes overshoot? In heavy, short-burst downpours, water speeds up on smooth roof surfaces and at steeper roof pitches.

Many suburbs up to a kilometre inland can still be classed coastal. Local wind can push that line even further. Unwashed spots collect salt and grime. Think under eaves, the top of garage doors and the underside of eave gutters. These areas need a hose down at least every six months. Do it more often in coastal locations.
