Spotting a Blocked Downpipe

Watch where water escapes during rain. If the spill is right above the downpipe or at the bend beneath the gutter, the pipe is likely blocked. A wet stripe running down the wall behind the pipe suggests a split at the back. If water backs up at ground level, the gully or drain may be the problem.

A blockage may sit in the swan neck just below the outlet, rather than in the straight pipe. The specialist can rod or flush the pipe where suitable and check that water reaches the gully.

How Downpipes Are Cleared and Repaired

  1. A flow test shows where the blockage or leak is.
  2. The pipe is rodded, jetted or unclipped at the bend.
  3. Both ends of the pipe are checked and cleared.
  4. Loose clips are re-fixed and split sections replaced.

Downpipe Costs in Crewkerne

Most downpipe jobs in Crewkerne cost between £75 and £350. Clearing one pipe costs the least, while replacing sections or working on several pipes is at the top.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some quick answers about downpipes in Crewkerne.

How do I get downpipe quotes in Crewkerne?

Send one enquiry with your postcode, the number of downpipes and where the water is escaping. We can pass it to up to four specialists covering Crewkerne.

Can a blocked downpipe be cleared from the ground?

Often, yes. Rods can be pushed up from the shoe, and some pole-mounted tools reach the outlet. Swan necks under the gutter may need ladder access.

Should the gully be cleared at the same time?

If water backs up at the bottom of the pipe, yes. Clearing the downpipe will not help if the gully or drain it feeds is blocked.

Can one cracked section of downpipe be replaced?

Yes. A split length can usually be cut out and replaced with a new section in the same size and colour.
