Downpipe Unblocking
Overflowing downpipe during rain is almost always a blockage, not a design fault. We clear it fast with rods and jetting equipment, checked with a water test before we leave.

How it works
Most downpipe blockages are leaves, moss balls or silt that have compacted lower down the pipe. We clear it with flexible rods and water jetting, then run a flow test to confirm it is clear before we leave. Most downpipes take 20–40 minutes.

Downpipe Unblocking FAQs
How do I know if my downpipe is blocked?
Water overflowing from a joint partway down the pipe, or from the gutter above it, during rain is the clearest sign.
Can you fix it without digging up my drain?
In most cases, yes — rodding and jetting from above clears the vast majority of downpipe blockages without any digging.
