Epoxy putty can be used to repair most kinds of downpipes. Clean the area first, and get rid of any paint or rust, as well as any other debris. Cut an appropriate length of tape and wrap the joint in it, ensuring that the ends are in line. Clean the area After a leak, your first step is to eliminate any standing water and then clean the area. Use a wet vac to get rid of any remaining water and clean up floors and walls affected by the leak. This can also help stop the growth of mould and mildew which can happen if a water-damaged area is not properly dried. Next, you must look for obstructions. Blocked downpipes can cause water to overflow and flow across the sides of your property and cause damage to the walls, guttering, driveways and foundations. The accumulation of leaves, twigs and other debris in your guttering or downpipe can cause blockages by preventing water from flowing freely, and ice at lower temperatures can also hinder the flow of water. In some cases the downpipe that is leaking may be blocked. It may be possible to get it out using a hosepipe and a wire or drain rod. It is crucial to wash your guttering and downpipe regularly to prevent the build-up of dirt that can cause blockages. If you cannot dislodge the blockage, it's likely that the area of downpipe below the leak has been damaged and could require replacement. This involves removing the old downpipe and replacing it with a new one, using connectors and fittings. Before you begin to repair the downpipe, make sure that you are secure by wearing rubber gloves and safety glasses. Make sure you have a sturdy ladder working at heights. Ask someone to help you. Request someone to hold the hose at the base of the ladder and turn the water on
