Gutters and downpipes play a vital role in protecting your home from rainwater damage. When they are clear and working properly, they carry water away from your roof and walls, helping to prevent damp, mould and structural issues. But if they become blocked, the consequences can be costly. This is where blocked downpipe repairs and gutter clearance pays off.
If you’re looking for blocked downpipe repairs, you’re not alone. Many homeowners and landlords across Leicestershire and surrounding areas experience problems caused by blocked gutters and downpipes every year.
What causes blocked downpipes?
Leaves, moss, twigs, bird nests and general debris can all collect in your guttering. Over time this build-up restricts the flow of rainwater. If water cannot drain away properly, it will overflow or find its way into parts of your property where it doesn’t belong.
The risks of ignoring a blocked downpipe
Even a small blockage can lead to serious damage. Here are some of the problems we regularly see:
- Damp patches on internal walls
- Mould growth, particularly in upstairs rooms
- Staining or erosion of brickwork and render
- Overflowing water damaging fascias and soffits
- Puddles forming near your home’s foundation
- Increased risk of insect or rodent activity
Professional blocked downpipe repairs across Leicestershire
At Battlefield Exterior Cleaning, we specialise in clearing and repairing blocked downpipes across Leicestershire, in villages such as Burbage, Barwell, Market Bosworth, Earl Shilton and more.
We begin every gutter and downpipe job with a careful inspection to assess the overall condition and spot any visible blockages or signs of wear. Using gutter vacuums, and inspection cameras, we remove built-up debris such as moss, leaves, and silt that can cause water to overflow or back up. We also check downpipes to ensure they’re not obstructed by hidden blockages lower down. By clearing the entire system properly, we help protect your home from damp, water damage, and costly structural issues, and we’ll always let you know if we spot anything that may need further attention.
Regular maintenance saves money!
Most problems with gutters and downpipes can be avoided with routine cleaning and checks. We recommend having your system inspected at least once a year. Doing so can prevent serious damage and save you money on repairs.
