How To Clear Blocked Down-pipes
Unblocking an overflowing guttering system can be a dangerous job if you have no idea about, height safety, house gutters or basic roofing maintenance. We have been cleaning, repairing and unblocking roof gutters for over 10 years in Adelaide, South Australia.
The most common method of unblocking gutters and down-pipes is with a simple garden hose. You heard right, that is all you need. A garden hose with no nozzle of fixings so that it can pushed and manipulated into the blocked down pipe. When you have forced the garden hose into the down pipe about 20 centimeters, you can tell your partner to turn on the water tap. The down pipe will naturally start filling up with water.
The next step needs to be continuously repeated until the blockage is freed. As the water is coming out the hose, start thrusting the hose in and out of the down pipe until you actually hear the blockage clear. Sometimes it has taken 2 minutes and sometimes it has taken 20 minutes but down-pipes do actually unblock this way very easily if you are persistent with the last step.
Storm water blockages require a high pressure cleaner with a "jetter" hose that can be forced into the storm water drain and then blast the blockage with high pressure, through the "jetter" hose.
