Down Pipes

Downpipes need to manage both the volume and flow of rainwater to ensure safe drainage. Well-functioning downpipes protect your property and your neighbours’ from water damage. Poor rainwater management can cause serious problems including flooding and structural damage.

Downpipes direct rainwater from your roof into the stormwater drainage system. They should never be connected to household wastewater drains from areas like the kitchen, laundry, or toilets to avoid contamination and plumbing problems.
