Regular maintenance keeps them clog-free and working effectively. It is essential to determine the size of your downpipes according to the size of your roof to ensure proper drainage. This eliminates bottlenecks to ensure the highest performance. Placement Gutters are designed to collect and drain rainwater, but when they're damaged or not properly placed the water may flow down the sides of a house and seep into the foundations and walls. This can cause structural damage soil erosion, flooding and damp crawlspaces, and deteriorating the roof. To avoid this, it is important to install gutters and downpipes in a proper manner. This is usually regulated in the building regulations. Downpipes are the drainage pipes that connect to a spouting or guttering, and funnel rainwater (and melting snow in cold climates) away from the home through efficient gravity flow. They also shield foundations and walls from water damage, and prevent the rotting of fascia boards and leaks. The right size of downpipe is crucial for a gutter system. Insufficiently sized downpipes can cause overflow and, if placed too near the home, increase the risk flooding. The size of the downpipe will depend on the roof pitch and size. The general rule is one downpipe per 9m (30ft). There are a range of downpipe materials, including vinyl and plastic. Metals such as galvanised metal and aluminium are sturdy, corrosion resistant, and resilient in the most extreme weather conditions. Plastic options like PVC and vinyl are light affordable, cost-effective, and simple to install, but may be vulnerable to UV deterioration in harsh sunlight. Once the gutters and downpipes are in place, the next step is to seal them all together using high-quality siliconized caulking. This
