Overflowing gutter in Pudsey, Leeds — problem solved.
One of my regular window cleaning customers contacted me after noticing water pouring off their roof whenever it rained.
After investigating, I traced the problem to a blocked downpipe.
Inside, I discovered a build-up of moss and a trapped metal tile strap, preventing rainwater from draining away properly.
I carefully dismantled the affected section, removed the blockage by hand and securely reassembled everything.
A final water flow test confirmed the water was flowing freely again.
With autumn bringing plenty of rain, blocked gutters and downpipes are worth keeping an eye on. Left unresolved, overflowing rainwater can potentially lead to damp and damage around your property.
Another problem solved for one of our regular customers.
At Starfish Exterior Cleaning, we believe looking after our customers means looking after their properties, not just cleaning their windows.
