Blocked Gutter & Downpipe Repair — Epping
Epping | April 2026
The Problem
James contacted Edy's Handyman Services after noticing water pouring over the edge of his gutters during heavy rain, with water tracking down the exterior wall near a bedroom window. Left unaddressed, the issue risked ongoing water damage to the wall and potential mould inside the home.
"Every time it rained, I'd hear water hitting the window and just hope it wasn't getting inside."
The Fix
After an on-site inspection, the cause was identified: a partially blocked gutter section combined with a loose downpipe connection, both causing water to overflow at a single point instead of draining properly.
Work completed:
- Cleared debris and re-aligned the affected gutter section for proper water flow
- Re-secured and sealed the downpipe connection with weather-resistant materials
- Checked surrounding brickwork and window sealing to confirm no further water entry points
The Result
