What Is a Downpipe?
A downpipe is a facility designed for draining rainwater and accumulated water.
Typically, it receives rainwater flowing from the roof of a building and directs it into underground drainage pipes. The distinctive features of a downpipe include its sturdy and durable nature, as well as the availability of various materials and designs. It finds primary applications in residential, commercial, and industrial structures, where it is used to drain rainwater flowing from the roof. Downpipes come in various types, including straight pipes and flexible ones that can be bent, allowing for selection based on the shape and design of the building.
When using a downpipe, it is important to choose the appropriate size and shape, ensuring proper installation. Regular cleaning and maintenance are also crucial for effective drainage of rainwater.
