16.01.2022 Clean your gutters, downpipes and drains regularly to prevent blockages It is important to keep your gutters and downpipes clear as blockages can cause the water to overflow under the eaves into the roof cavity. Clear leaves from the valleys of your roof as these will make their way into the gutters in heavy rain. Keep the drains around your property clear to help surface water move away and prevent water from pooling and entering your property. ... Pot plants in courtyards and around houses are often used to hide drainage grates. Make sure to move these if heavy rain is likely.
