Common Causes of Blocked Downpipes
The most common causes of blocked downpipes are:
- the accumulation of leaves
- moss
- tennis balls (yes, that’s right!)
- pine needles
- twigs
Over time, these materials can get stuck in the downpipes, leading to blockages that hinder the proper flow of water.
More Expensive Causes
Other more serious causes of blockages is the erosion from the roof, where tiles and cement can end up in the downpipes.
The build-up of debris in the downpipes can then encourage plant growth, exacerbating the blockage situation even further.
