Unmaintained Rainwater Outlets Could Lead to Costly Repairs

Effective rainwater drainage is essential to prevent water from accumulating on roofs and causing damage. Blocked or malfunctioning rainwater outlets can lead to serious issues, including leaks, structural damage, and water ingress, particularly in flat-roofed buildings. Without regular testing and maintenance, these outlets can become clogged or inefficient, resulting in costly repairs. Rainwater outlet testing ensures that your drainage systems are working properly, protecting your building from the risks associated with standing water.
