Comprehensive Downpipe Maintenance Services

Downpipes are critical for directing rainwater from your roof into appropriate discharge points. When they become blocked, cracked, or poorly sealed, water can overflow into walls, gardens, or foundations, leading to structural issues and expensive repairs. Our licensed plumbers perform preventative maintenance and targeted repairs to keep your system working efficiently year-round.

Our downpipe maintenance solutions are designed to address both immediate issues and long-term performance. Services include:

 

  • Clearing blockages caused by leaves, dirt, or debris
  • Flushing and pressure cleaning to restore water flow
  • Inspecting joints, seals, and fittings for deterioration
  • Leak sealing with high-quality, weatherproof materials
  • Realigning downpipes for proper water discharge
  • Checking stormwater connections for blockages or damage

We also provide routine gutter and roof inspections as part of our downpipe services, ensuring the entire stormwater system works as intended.

In a jam with a blocked drain (no toilets, showers, dish washers, sinks etc. - definitely first world problems I know but really inconvenient) . Anyway - 25 calls to plumbers later (sorry we can't get...
A blocked toilet was not the best way to start the long weekend. Greg came to our rescue in under an hour. What a relief.

Leak Sealing and Preventative Repairs

If your downpipe is leaking at the joints, rusted in sections, or cracked, our team provides targeted leak sealing and repairs. We use durable sealants, replacement fittings, and high-quality materials to restore watertightness and prevent further deterioration. Common issues we resolve include:

 

  • Leaks where downpipes join gutters or stormwater drains
  • Rust holes in metal downpipes
  • PVC cracks caused by UV exposure or impact
  • Poorly installed joints that allow water to escape

Where leaks are too advanced for sealing, we provide partial or full replacements to ensure long-term protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I schedule downpipe maintenance?

    We recommend at least once a year, preferably before storm season, to ensure your system is clear and functional.

  • Can leaking downpipes be sealed, or do they need replacement?

    Many leaks can be sealed with durable products. Replacement is only needed if the pipe is badly rusted, cracked, or structurally unsound.

  • Do you provide maintenance for both PVC and metal downpipes?

    Yes. We maintain and repair all types, including PVC, Colorbond, and zincalume systems.

  • Will you check my gutters as part of downpipe maintenance?

    Absolutely. We inspect gutters, roof valleys, and stormwater connections as part of a full system assessment.

  • What happens if a downpipe is blocked underground?

    We use flushing equipment and cameras if necessary to clear and diagnose underground blockages.

  • Can you help with emergency leaks during heavy rain?

    Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency services to seal leaks, restore drainage, and prevent flooding during severe weather.
