Regular maintenance will ensure that they remain free of obstructions and operate effectively. It is important to size your downpipes to match the roof's size to ensure proper drainage. This will eliminate bottlenecks and ensure the best performance. Placement Gutters are designed to drain and collect rainwater, but when they're damaged or poorly positioned they can allow water to flow down the sides of a house and seep into the foundations and walls. This can lead to structural damage, soil erosion, flooding, and damp crawlspaces and basements. Proper guttering and downpipe installation is vital to prevent this, and is often controlled by building regulations. Downpipes are drainage pipes that connect to the guttering system or spouting system. They funnel snow melt and rainwater (in cold climates) away from your house using gravity. They shield foundations and walls against water damage and prevent rotting fascia board and leaks. The right size of downpipe is essential for the proper drainage system. Oversized downpipes may cause overflow and, if they are placed too close to the home, can increase the risk of flooding. The size of the downpipe depends on the roof pitch and the size. A rule of thumb is one downpipe per 9m (30ft). There are a range of downpipe materials available, including plastic and vinyl. Metals like galvanised steel and aluminium are sturdy and corrosion-resistant, making them durable in most weather conditions. Plastics like PVC or vinyl are light and cost-effective. They're also easy to install. However, they may be susceptible to UV degradation under harsh sunlight. Once the gutters and downpipes are installed, seal them together with high-quality siliconeized
