On 29 April 2018, 62.5 mm of rain fell in a single hour in the stream catchment, the stream broke its banks and over 30 homes were evacuated. Half-choked downpipes and silted soak holes fail first in that kind of downpour. Every vacuum clear includes a clean-water flush of each downpipe through to the soak hole, and a house wash removes midge residue staining walls near the lake. ### Water in ceilings and walls Overflowing gutters push water behind the spouting and into ceilings and wall cavities. ### Rotting fascia and stained soffits Water that escapes the spouting soaks the timber it is fixed to, season after season. ### Flooded soak holes Choked downpipes and soak holes pool water at the foundations in heavy storms. ### Moss shortening roof life Moss and mould hold moisture against roofing and wash straight back into the gutters. Local knowledge ## Local Spouting Knowledge in Ngongotahā Ngongotahā is a lakeside settlement of around 1,857 homes (2023 census) on the western shore of **Lake Rotorua**, about 10 km from the city centre. Township sections sit close together near the stream that runs through the village, while lifestyle blocks spread up the slopes toward the 757 m summit behind it. Heavy rain here can arrive hard and fast. In the April 2018 storm, 145 mm fell over six hours in the stream's catchment, and a spouting system only copes with that if every downpipe and soak hole is clear. We travel out along **State Highway 36** and **Western Road** on weekday rounds. Larger blocks often add sheds and garages to the job, and homes near the lake collect fine midge residue that our vacuum and flush remove. ### Why Do Downpipes Matter So Much Below the Mountain? The village sits below **Mount Ngongotahā** on the western shore of Lake Rotorua. When a heavy shower hits the mountain, runoff and rain arrive quickly, and the 2018 storm showed how fast the stream through the village can rise. In that kind of downpour, your spouting is only as good as the downpipe and soak hole below it. A gutter can look clear from the lawn while the downpipe is half-choked with silt, leaves and midge residue. When the water can't get away, it backs up and spills over the front edge, or pools against your foundations. That's why every clear we do here includes a **full downpipe flush** through to the soak hole.

Those bigger sections often carry mature trees that drop leaves and twigs straight onto the roof, and some properties have long runs of spouting across sheds and garages too. Closer to the lake, **midge swarms** leave a fine residue in spouting and on walls, and the humidity helps algae and moss settle in. Our ground-based vacuum gutter clearing [/ →](/) handles both the coarse leaf load and the fine silty sludge, with nobody on your roof. Many owners pair a gutter clear with a roof moss treatment [/roof-moss-treatment/ →](/roof-moss-treatment/) so moss isn't washed straight back into clean gutters. ### Helpful reading for local homeowners - Why are my gutters overflowing?

Yes. Each downpipe gets a clean-water flush through to the soak hole on every visit. After the April 2018 storm dropped 62.5 mm in an hour on the catchment, a free-draining downpipe is the part of the system that matters most. Can you clear spouting on sheds, garages and other buildings on a lifestyle block? Yes. Mention extra buildings when you request a quote, because we price on the total metres and height of spouting plus how easy each roof line is to reach. Which parts of the area do you cover? The township, the lake-edge streets along Western Road and the lifestyle sections out toward Paradise Valley Road and the slopes below the mountain. How is a quote worked out for a large rural section? Quotes are free. We look at metres of spouting, storeys, access across the section, debris load from mature trees and the state of the downpipes, and bundling with a roof moss treatment usually lowers the total. Will the vacuum remove lake midge residue from my spouting? Yes, inside the spouting. Midges and silt leave a fine sludge that suction lifts out, and the downpipe flush clears what has settled lower down. Staining on cladding is a job for a low-pressure house wash. Do I need to be home when you clear gutters in Ngongotahā? No. As long as we can reach the outside of the house and the downpipe outlets, the team can work Monday to Friday whether you're home or at work. ### Still have a question?
