Koala Contractorz checking water flow through an Adelaide downpipe

What the service covers

Help water leave the roofline as intended.

A clean gutter can still overflow when leaves, compacted debris or roof material restrict the outlet into a downpipe. The blockage may sit at the top entry, inside a bend or further down the drainage system.

We check accessible downpipe entries, clear common surface blockages and test flow where practical. Deeper underground or stormwater drainage faults may require a suitably licensed plumber and are identified as a separate issue.

Outlet inspectionAccessible gutter outlets and downpipe entries checked for visible obstruction.
Surface blockage removalLeaves and compacted debris cleared from accessible entry points where practical.
Practical flow checkWater movement checked where site conditions and water access allow.
Next-step adviceLikely deeper drainage concerns are documented rather than hidden behind a vague promise.

Practical information

Signs of a blocked downpipe.

These observations can help describe the problem when you request a quote.

Overflow near one outlet

Water backing up at a single point often suggests a restriction at or below that outlet.

Little water at ground level

Low discharge during rain can indicate a blockage, leak or disconnected section.

Gurgling or slow drainage

Noise and slow flow can be signs of restricted movement through a bend or pipe section.

Common questions

Clear answers before you book.

Every property is different, so the final scope is confirmed before work begins.

Is downpipe checking included with gutter cleaning?+

Accessible outlets are checked and common surface blockages are cleared where practical. A deeper obstruction or underground stormwater problem is outside a standard gutter clean.

Can you clear every downpipe blockage?+

Not every blockage can be reached safely with standard gutter-cleaning methods. If the restriction appears deeper in the pipe or stormwater system, the next step may be a licensed plumber.

Can blocked downpipes cause gutter overflow?+

Yes. When water cannot move through the outlet and downpipe efficiently, it may back up and spill over the gutter edge during rain.
