Blocked downpipes after windy weeks
Why it happens here
Wind off the open paddocks pushes leaves and grass seed into gutters across Truganina. Once the debris reaches the outlet, it packs into the downpipe and stops water flowing altogether.
Our approach
We clear the full gutter run and jet every downpipe rather than just scooping the visible debris. That way we know water is moving from the roof to the stormwater connection before we leave.
