How To Unblock Downpipe Drain |link|
Start by scooping out any leaves, twigs, or sludge from the gutters around the downpipe opening. If you don’t clear the source, more debris will simply wash down once you’ve unblocked the pipe.
The weight and pressure of the water can often push loose debris through the bottom.
Remove gutter guards and use a gutter scoop or trowel to pull out leaves, moss, and twigs from the top opening.
