Gutter leaking at joints — Nicosia, Nicosia
Leaks at gutter joints and seams are the most common gutter failure. Sealant degrades over time, and thermal expansion widens gaps between sections. Leaking gutters pour water against the fascia, soffit, and foundation instead of channeling it away, causing rot and basement moisture. A gutter specialist can reseal joints, replace damaged sections, or install seamless gutters to eliminate joints entirely.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Nicosia
Nicosia roofs are predominantly flat or shallow-pitched with bitumen/PVC membrane, exposed to extreme UV (~3,300 sunshine hours per year), giving membrane life of 8–12 years versus 20+ in northern Europe. Without coastal salt the structures last longer, but the intense inland heat bakes membranes harder, and the brief but intense November–February rain season exposes any weakness. Historic old-town roofs inside the Venetian walls require conservation-compliant restoration.
