Whether from heavy rainfall, the build-up of debris, trees in the vicinity or ladders leaning against it, this section of your drainage system can be vulnerable to being damaged. Water stains on exterior walls and dampness are indicators of blocked downpipes that require repair to avoid future issues. Many downpipe repairs can be completed by yourself. Clear the obstruction A blocked drainpipe can be more than just a nuisance. It can cause water damage to your walls, roof, and foundation. It also promotes the development of mold in your home. In some cases it could even flood your home and cause a water leak. It's important to clear any obstructions as fast as you can. Most of the time, you can clear minor downpipe blockages with a bit of elbow grease and some household items. Before you attempt to eliminate the obstruction, ensure you're working safely by using a sturdy ladder that is secured on flat ground and wearing thick gloves. Be aware of any electrical wiring that may be around your gutters or downpipes. Begin by trying to identify the blockage visually. Sometimes, leaves, twigs, and other debris may get stuck in the opening of the downpipe, or near the pipe's top. If you can identify the source of the problem and you are unable to find the culprit, try using a length of wire that has one end bent into the shape of a hook to pull the material in question out of the downpipe. Then flush the downpipe with buckets of water that is clean to get rid of any remaining gunk and check if the pipe is unblocked. A garden hose can be beneficial for clearing obstructions around the downpipe. A powerful stream of water can help to remove gunk that has accumulated in the bends and corners of your downpipes, especially in the case of cast iron. For more stubborn clogs, try using drain rods or a plumbing snake
