Regular maintenance will ensure that they remain free of obstructions and function efficiently. It is essential to determine the size of your downpipes in accordance with the roof's size to ensure proper drainage. This will eliminate bottlenecks and ensure the best performance. Placement Gutters are designed to collect and drain rainwater. However, if they're damaged, or placed improperly, water may seep down the walls and foundations of a house. This can lead to structural damage and soil erosion, flooding, damp basements and crawlspaces and even damage to the roof. To avoid this from happening, it's important to install guttering and downpipes properly. This is usually regulated in the building regulations. Downpipes are drainage pipes that connect to a spouting or guttering, and channel rainwater (and melting snow in cold climates) to the ground and away from the home through efficient gravity flow. They protect walls and foundations against water damage, and help prevent rotting fascia board and leaks. The right size of downpipe is essential for a gutter system. Insufficiently sized downpipes can cause overflow, and if placed too near the home, increase the chance of flooding. The ideal size of a downpipe is based on the size of the roof and pitch and a general rule of thumb is to have one downpipe for 9m (30ft) of guttering. There are a range of downpipe materials, including vinyl and plastic. Metal options like galvanised steel or aluminium provide durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting endurance in all weather conditions. Plastics like PVC or vinyl are lightweight and affordable. They are also simple to install. However, they may be susceptible to UV degradation under intense
