Signs of Blocked Downpipes
Don’t ignore the warning signs. Spotting them early prevents major damage:
Water overflowing from gutters — downpipes are clogged, water has nowhere to go
Sagging or loose gutters — blockages add excess weight
Water pooling around the house — erodes your foundations fast
Damp or leaking walls — causes mould and internal water damage
Plants growing in gutters — clear sign of long-term blockage
