When you need this form
Blocked gutters and overflowing downpipes cause most water ingress claims on commercial buildings. This check belongs in a scheduled roof and facade program: before storm season, after heavy rain, at handover, and whenever a tenant reports staining or damp. Insurers and building owners scrutinise external fabric closely. A documented drainage inspection shows the defect was found and dealt with, not discovered later in a ceiling.
Paper roof reports age badly. Nobody can tell when the photo was taken or which pit it shows. A live record pins each blockage to a location, a date and a photo taken on the roof, so the owner sees the silted pit and the cleared pit. That evidence settles arguments about who let the water in.
What good looks like
- Photos of every gutter run and downpipe outlet, before and after clearing.
- Blockage type recorded: leaf litter, silt, nesting, ball debris or crushed pipe.
- Pit and sump lids lifted, water flow tested and the result noted.
- Overflow risk rated per elevation, with rusted or sagging brackets flagged.
- GPS-pinned sign-off naming the inspector and any defect raised for repair.
Gutters, drainage and stormwater check, answered
Is this a PDF or Word template?
Neither. It is a live form: your crew opens it on their phones, ticks it through, attaches photos and signs on the glass. Every submission is timestamped, GPS-pinned and stored as proof.
When do I need a gutters and stormwater check?
Before storm season, after heavy rain, at building handover and on a scheduled maintenance cycle. Owners and insurers expect dated evidence that roof drainage was inspected and cleared, especially where water ingress has been reported.
What should a stormwater inspection record include?
Location by elevation, the condition of gutters, downpipes, pits and sumps, photo evidence before and after clearing, a flow test result, an overflow risk rating and a named sign-off.
