RAINWATER HEADS KENMORE — HILLTOP & STEEP-ROOF DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS

Kenmore’s homes often sit on sloping blocks and present steep roof pitches. Water accelerates down these roofs and arrives at gutters with greater velocity than flat suburban roofs — making rainwater head selection and capacity especially important.

LOCAL ROOFING CHARACTERISTICS

• Steep pitches that increase flow velocity
• Multiple roof planes feeding single collectors
• Occasional heavy summer storms that test downpipe capacity

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR KENMORE

• Use wide-mouth heads with large sump capacity for steep discharges
• Prefer stainless or thicker Colorbond for long-term durability
• Ensure downpipe diameters match catchment (100–150mm)

MAINTENANCE NOTES

Inspect fixings and brackets after heavy storms; steep roofs can loosen fittings. Flush and clear valley collectors twice yearly.
