RAINWATER HEAD MAINTENANCE FOR BONDI COASTAL PROPERTIES
The sea does not forgive weak materials. Bondi’s coastal environment hits rainwater heads with constant salt spray, strong coastal winds and sudden storm bursts rolling off the ocean.
Homes and apartment blocks along Campbell Parade, Hall Street, Curlewis Street and Bondi Road face accelerated corrosion and intense drainage loads.
THE BONDI COASTAL CHALLENGE
- Salt air corrosion — the biggest enemy of standard metal rainheads
- Windborne debris — sea winds push debris deep into gutters
- Rooftop apartments — large catchment areas feeding into limited drainage points
- Flash storm events — heavy rainfall off the Pacific
HOW TO MAINTAIN BONDI RAINWATER HEADS
1. CHECK FOR SALT PITTING WEEKLY
Look for early-stage corrosion and metal fatigue.
2. CLEAR WIND-BLOWN DEBRIS
Bondi winds carry fine plant matter, packaging and beach debris.
3. FLUSH SYSTEMS MONTHLY
Apartments and multi-storey roofs require more frequent clearing.
4. UPGRADE TO MARINE-GRADE MATERIALS
Standard steel fails prematurely in Bondi’s coastal climate.
