Re-alignment in Cringleford
During rain, water was reported to overflow from the corner union here on the left. Here the fall was in the wrong direction.
After initial vacuuming of the gutters we checked the levels to ascertain whether or not the fall was correct and within tolerance...
There was a good degree of fall towards the corner from the left side...
...however, and possibly due to the large overhang of the eaves meant that the roofline wasn't level...
...leaving this amount of fall may result in having an excessive distance between the tiles and gutter at the outlet & swan-neck of the downpipe...
We removed the guttering and altered the positioning of the fascia brackets, reducing the fall to the smallest amount necessary up to the corner...
...then continued the repositioning of the fascia brackets from the corner, creating a gradual fall towards the downpipe.
To finish, we performed a water test to confirm the flow of water towards the outlet and through the downpipe.
