End of summer is gutt(er)ing

While the weather is still settled, and before the rain arrives, now’s the time to check your gutters, spouting and drainpipes for leaves, twigs and debris. While you’re at it, look out for tree roots encroaching on pipes. Blockages and breaks can cause flooding and damage. We’re out and about every day doing our bit to manage our stormwater network and prevent flooding where possible, but we can’t be everywhere. If you see something we need to know about, give us a call on 0800 486 486.
