Regular maintenance ensures that they are free of obstructions and operate effectively. It is important to size your downpipes according to the roof's size to ensure proper drainage. This will ensure that the performance is at its best. Placement Gutters are designed to drain and collect rainwater. However, if they're damaged or poorly positioned they can allow water to flow down the sides of the house and then seep into the walls and foundations. This can lead to structural damage, soil erosion and flooding, as well as damp crawlspaces and basements. To prevent this from happening, it is essential to install guttering and downpipes properly. This is usually regulated in building regulations. Downpipes are drainage pipes that connect to a guttering or spouting and let rainwater (and melting snow in cold climates) away from the home via efficient gravity flow. They also shield foundations and walls from water damage and prevent the rotting of fascia boards and leaks. The correct size of the downpipe is essential for a proper gutter system as over-sized downpipes may cause overflows and if they are placed too close to the home could increase the risk of flooding. The ideal size of the downpipe depends on the pitch and size of the roof, and a rule of thumb is to have one downpipe for every 9m (30ft) of guttering. There are a variety of downpipe materials available such as plastic, metal and vinyl. Metals like galvanised metal and aluminium are strong and corrosion-resistant, making them robust in all weather conditions. Plastics such as PVC or vinyl are light and inexpensive. They are also simple to install. However, they can be prone to UV degradation under harsh sunlight. After the gutters a
