Downpipes are the least glamorous part of a roof and one of the most important. Too few of them, or in the wrong spots, and every heavy rain sends water where you don’t want it: over the gutter edge, down the walls, and into the ground around your foundations.
HP Plumbing Group installs high-performance downpipe systems for residential and commercial properties across the Geelong region. Round or square profiles, Colorbond finishes to match the rest of the roof, and custom drainage solutions where the standard setup won’t cut it.
Properly designed downpipes direct rainwater safely away from your roof, walls, foundations and landscaping. We make sure every system is correctly sized for the roof area it serves and connected to stormwater the right way.
There’s a calculation behind how many downpipes a roof needs, and plenty of buildings fall short of it. We size every downpipe installation off the actual roof catchment, position them where they drain the gutters effectively, and plumb them into the stormwater system for maximum efficiency and long-term reliability.
