We (those living in Perth) have had some "weather" recently. The storms over the last few weeks have been really impressive. On Sunday night there was so much rain that it found a way in to my dining area, which is where my computer is set up (check my bio, I am a geek).
It wasn't much water and the rain was severe, so I thought it had found a gap. But to be certain I called the strata manager and a trades person checked the roof where the leak occurred. My place is one of six units and the water entered through a gap in the roof and a wall. There is a hidden gutter that overflowed and this gutter is not damaged. So there is a scenario of extremely heavy rain where I should expect water ingress.
I'm planning on a kitchen renovation, so I think I need to budget having capping placed over that hidden gutter to dramatically reduce the number of scenarios where water will find it's way into my home.
