no I'm serious...Wind up alert?
I seem to be taking all the rain water in my downpipe and the next door neighbour doesn't seem to have any rain water coming down his pipe...
how can I get around this?
no I'm serious...
the last few heavy downpours, the rain that is coming down the pipe from the top roof onto my extended kitchen roof is flowing at a serious rate, but if I look at the neighbours, there is very little coming down his.
They are 2 semi detached houses joined together. The gutter running along the bottom of the roof on both houses are joined together. At either ends, we have a downpipe which ends on the roof of the kitchen extension on both houses. It seems to be coming out my downpipe a lot more than hisyour neighbours downpipe wil be draining a different roof plane, so it may be that the roof plane drained to your site is prone to heavier rainfall.... (no, not a wind up either)....
what im trying to say is that there should be no sharing of roof plane between your downpipe and his... is there???
Quite possibleAnd maybe your neighbours gutters are blocked with debris or something?
noWhat's the problem? is your neighbour jealous?
Both downpipes are flowing onto a tilted roof on each house.Are your 2 gutters joined ? Are you getting the water from his gutter ?
My understanding is that the gutters are fixed at a tilt which will determine whether the water flows left to tight
Do you have a pipe just flowing onto a flat roof ?
Both downpipes are flowing onto a tilted roof on each house.
Then this lower roof has also got its own gutter that has a downpipe. However the flow of water out of my upper downpipe is coming out so fast, that its just sheeting off my lower roof straight into my garden
Definitely not - to do so would be to leave the affected property at risk of damp problems for example.but I reckon it cant be right just to cut off a pipe mid flow halfway up a house and leave water gushing everywhere. I have definitely been left with a puddle on my patio because of it.
