Downpipe Checks & Blocked Downpipes in Sussex
A downpipe check looks at the vertical pipes that carry rainwater from your gutters to the drain, to see whether anything is restricting the flow.
What this service is
We check the downpipe outlets, the pipe run and the point where it discharges, and clear restrictions where they can be reached.
What problem it solves
A blocked downpipe backs water up into the gutter, so even clean guttering will overflow. Water then sits against the wall and can find its way into the fabric of the building.
Who it is suitable for
Any property where the gutters overflow near a downpipe, where water trickles out of a joint, or where the pipe stays silent during heavy rain.
When to consider it
- The gutter overflows next to the downpipe but nowhere else
- Little or no water leaving the bottom of the pipe during rain
- Water leaking from a joint partway down the pipe
- A damp patch on the wall behind or beside the downpipe
