  • Another guy to fix the gutter. Not overly confident, so wanted to check in.

    Downpipe goes into concrete with no access. The whole thing is blocked - we ran a hoze down but no specialist equipment.

    He says to cut and put a shoe into the drain.

    This makes sense to me and would be easier to maintain.

    Anything I'm missing?

  • Why can't the guy rod it, or jet it, to clear the blockage?

  • As your gulley is not recessed into the ground, if you divert the downpipe into that it's likely that any slight blockage from leaves etc, or indeed a heavy, gushing outflow during heavy rain, will splash all over the shop and contribute to your wall becoming even more damp than it is.

  • I'm sure you've thought of this but do you have standing water on the right? Not good for damp either
