Downpipe unblocking is necessary if obstructions have built up to prevent rain water draining away quickly enough.
The downpipes (sometimes referred to as down spouts) connect to the guttering around your roofline, allowing rain water to flow safely downwards, usually to ground level on to a drain or soak away.
Gutter cleaners use tools designed to remove these obstructions, and sometimes use cameras to get a better view of what they're dealing with from ground level.
The main symptom of blocked downpipes is water pooling in the gutters, which can lead to overflowing. This is especially true if the pooling is immediately above the downpipe, but commonly homeowners are unable to see into the gutters due to their height.
