What you can do
- From a safe position, identify overflow at an edge, joint or downpipe.
- Remove only loose debris outside an accessible outlet that you can easily reach from the ground.
- When dangerous weather has passed, photograph the area and the whole section of wall.
How to tell whether it helped
After cleaning or repair, observe the next rainfall from the ground. Continued overflow may need further assessment.
When to stop
Stop for hanging gutter parts, water near electrical equipment or work requiring a roof or ladder. Do not lean out of a window.
How NAPREMO can help
