The bottom of my aluminium down pipe is dammaged and I thought I could take it off(the whole downpipe) and pop it back out-I cant because the bottom is connected to an agi pipe Do I have to cut out the dammaged bit and if so, how does the existing downpipe fit into the new section when they are the same size?
Its basicly a huge dent in the bottom of the downpipe
What about if I drill a hole in the dent,put in a metal screw and pull the dent out with pliers, then put a rivit and sealant in the hole.Do you think that might work??
The down pipes purpose is to allow the water from the roof via the down pipe. Unfortunately most houses do not have a gutter guard installed this device stops leaves and debris from entering the down pipe which flows directly to your storm water line; this increases the chance of a blockage in the storm water line.
Go buy a new down spout and replace the whole thing. Around $10.00 and less work also would look beter.
