Regular maintenance ensures that they are free of clogs and work effectively. It is essential to determine the size of your downpipes in accordance with the size of your roof to ensure proper drainage. This will ensure that the performance is optimal. Placement Gutters are designed to drain and collect rainwater, but when they're damaged or poorly positioned they can allow water to flow down the sides the house and then seep into the foundations and walls. This can result in structural damage, soil erosiveness and flooding, as well as damp crawlspaces and basements. To prevent this from happening, it's important to install guttering and downpipes properly. This is often regulated in building regulations. Downpipes are drainage pipes that connect to the guttering system or spouting system. They redirect snow melting and rainwater (in cold climates) away from your home by using gravity. They also protect the walls and foundations from water damage, and help prevent rotting fascia boards and leaks. The correct downpipe size is essential for a gutter system. A downpipe that is too large can cause overflow, and if they are placed too close to the home, can increase the risk of flooding. The ideal size of the downpipe depends on the pitch and size of the roof and a general common rule of thumb is to have one downpipe for 9m (30ft) of guttering. There are a variety of downpipe materials to choose from including plastic, metal and vinyl. Metal options like galvanised steel or aluminium provide strength, corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability in most weather conditions. Plastics like PVC or vinyl are light and cost-effective. They are also simple to install. However, they can be susceptible to UV degradation under harsh sunlight. On
