Did you use plastic sheeting under the sand bags?
Do you have the old style solid sided guttering or the more modern perforated half way up type?
Water will find a way.
Might be an idea to flag this with your insurance company if a few months down the track you end up with mould in the ceiling and walls.

Yep, used plastic mate...more than one layer. We had our gutters replaced about 5 or 6 years ago, and yes, he put up larger guttering with the perforation halfway up the side. Problem is, the rain was so heavy, and consistent, that no guuters were going to be able to handle the amount of water rushing into the gutters...we even had gutters overflowing over the top.
Mould...damn...yep, already have it on the ceiling of one bedroom, but fortunately its not a lot or appear rampant. I've taken pictures of it and intend putting in an insurance claim, but I reckon it will be close to 12 months before anything will be done because of the multitude of claims hitting the system...most of them massive.
