Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about downpipe cleaning

How often should I have my downpipes professionally cleaned?

We recommend professional downpipe cleaning at least once a year, preferably in autumn after leaf fall. Properties with many trees nearby may require more frequent cleaning (every 6 months) to prevent blockages and ensure proper water drainage.

What are the signs that my downpipes need cleaning?

Common signs include water overflowing from gutters during rain, damp patches on walls near downpipes, visible debris in downpipes, unusual sounds during rainfall, and water pooling around the base of downpipes. If you notice any of these signs, it's time for professional cleaning.

Can blocked downpipes cause damage to my property?

Yes, blocked downpipes can cause significant damage. Water overflow can lead to damp walls, foundation issues, soil erosion around your property, and in severe cases, structural damage. Regular cleaning prevents these costly problems and protects your property's value.

How long does the downpipe cleaning process take?

The duration depends on the number of downpipes, the severity of blockages, and accessibility. A standard downpipe cleaning for an average home typically takes 1-2 hours, while larger properties or those with complex systems may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate during our initial assessment.

Do you offer emergency downpipe unblocking services?

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency downpipe unblocking services for urgent situations where water damage is occurring or imminent. Our emergency team can typically respond within 2-4 hours to address critical blockages and prevent further damage to your property.

Can you clean downpipes that are connected to rainwater harvesting systems?

Absolutely. We have experience cleaning downpipes connected to rainwater harvesting systems. We take special care to ensure no debris enters the storage tanks and can coordinate with your system's filtration components if necessary. We'll discuss any specific requirements during the initial assessment.
