Is your downpipe blocked? It can be more than just an inconvenience, potentially causing serious problems, particularly during storms and heavy rains. Put your trust in our expert team at My Home Plumbing to unblock and repair clogged or damaged downpipes. From single storey homes and units to multi-level dwellings, we’ll solve your blocked downpipe problems.
Identifying a blocked downpipe is straightforward – you’ll see water spilling over the guttering, nothing flowing down the pipe or, sometimes, structural damage to the pipe or building. The cause, on the other hand, can be harder to identify, and there are a number of problems that could lead to a downpipe blockage.
Blocked downpipe can be caused by overhanging trees dropping twigs and leaves, debris in your gutters or just dirt and grime accumulating over long periods of time.
A blocked downpipe underground might be caused by tree roots that penetrate pipes over time. Shifting foundations, pipe damage and other issues could also cause this.
Roof gutters are a common source of downpipe blockages, with leaf and plant material accumulation, dirt, and – particularly without regular cleaning.
If you experience a sudden increase in your water bill, this can be a sign of a hidden leak. Even small leaks can waste hundreds of gallons of water per day, leading to a noticeable spike in your water bill.
Leaks underneath the floorboards can be difficult to detect but they cause extensive damage to subflooring, flooring materials, and foundations.
