Down Pipes

We would be remiss if we failed to mention the importance of having high-quality downpipes and spouting on your structure. After all, the very best gutters will not help protect your home or business from rainwater if you have substandard down pipes and spouting. Because the purpose of pipes and spouts is to direct water where you want it, mainly away from the foundation of your building, the proper placement of down pipes is quite essential.

Of equal importance is maintaining the down pipes and spouts. These can clog quickly, especially if the attached gutter is full of debris. So in addition to regular gutter cleaning, we at Perth Roofing & Gutters recommend a professional flushing of the down pipes at least twice a year.Flushing is a simple process that we can take care of at the same time as your gutter cleaning.

Downpipes and spouts come in the same variety of materials as gutters; we recommend that you choose a color and material of down pipe that is the same as that of your gutter. As with gutters, you will get what you pay for when it comes to pipes and spouts. If your preference is copper, you can expect to pay a substantial amount more than for other materials. We caution against using the plastic material for pipes and spouting because it does not stand the test of time and will need replacing much sooner than other materials.

Our promise of quality and professionalism holds true for the work we do with your down pipes and spouting as does our warranty.
