• Broken

• Cracked

• Disconnected

• Poorly joined

Complete 90mm PVC Downpipe Replacement

Choose this option where the existing downpipe is substantially damaged, deteriorated, poorly installed or needs complete replacement.

Standard replacement includes removing the existing accessible downpipe and installing a new 90mm round PVC downpipe on a standard single-storey property.

Complete Downpipe Replacement Includes

• Removal of one existing accessible downpipe

• Supply of new 90mm round PVC downpipe

• Standard 90mm PVC bends and fittings

• Connection to the existing serviceable gutter outlet

• Connection to the existing serviceable stormwater connection

• New standard wall clips and fixings

JR's drainage service already covers downpipe connections and the correct routing of roof water into suitable stormwater drainage.

90mm Round PVC Only

This fixed-price product applies specifically to 90mm round PVC downpipes.

It does not cover:

• Rectangular metal downpipes

• Colorbond downpipes

• Copper downpipes

• Specialty architectural downpipes

• 100mm or other non-standard pipe sizes

• Box gutters

• Rainheads

• Custom fabricated drainage components

Keeping the product to one standard pipe type makes it possible to offer clear online pricing without requiring a custom quote for every job.

Single-Storey Properties Only

This online service applies to single-storey buildings only.

The downpipe must be safely accessible from normal ground level or with standard low-level access.

The product does not include work requiring:

• Roof access

• Two-storey access

• Extension ladders for elevated work

• Scaffolding

• Elevated work platforms

• Harness systems

• Difficult or unsafe height access

Two-storey and difficult-access downpipes require a separate quote.

Bottom Connection Repairs

Damage at the bottom of a downpipe is common because the lower section is exposed to:

• Garden equipment

• Lawn mowers

• Vehicles

• Foot traffic

• Ground movement

• Ageing PVC

• Poor previous connections

• Movement between the house and underground stormwater pipework

Where only the lower section is damaged, replacing the complete downpipe is generally unnecessary.

The Bottom Connection Repair option is designed specifically for these straightforward repairs.

Existing Stormwater Connection

Both product options assume there is an existing suitable stormwater connection at the base of the downpipe.

JR can reconnect the repaired or replacement downpipe to an accessible, serviceable stormwater point.

JR's broader drainage service includes connecting downpipes to suitable stormwater lines, pits or approved discharge points.

What If the Underground Stormwater Pipe Is Broken?

This product covers the downpipe and its immediate connection, not major underground stormwater repairs.

If the underground stormwater pipe is:

• Broken below ground

• Collapsed

• Blocked

• Crushed

• Root damaged

• Missing

• Poorly graded

• Significantly displaced

• In need of excavation

additional drainage work may be required.

JR provides broader stormwater drainage services for downpipe connections, pits, surface drainage and drainage-route improvements where required.

Existing Gutter Connection

For a complete downpipe replacement, the existing gutter outlet or downpipe dropper must be serviceable and suitable for reconnection.

The standard product includes connection of the new 90mm PVC downpipe to the existing outlet.

It does not include:

• Gutter replacement

• Gutter repairs

• New gutter outlets

• Major gutter modifications

• Fascia replacement

• Roof repairs

• Flashing repairs

If the gutter itself is defective, that work may require a roofing or gutter specialist.

Standard Pipe Route

The complete downpipe replacement follows the same general existing route between the gutter and stormwater connection.

Standard bends and offsets required to follow the existing wall are included.

Significant relocation of the downpipe to another part of the building is outside this fixed-price product.

Downpipe Clips & Fixings

Complete replacement includes new standard clips required to secure the downpipe to a suitable existing wall or structure.

The mounting surface must be suitable for normal fixing.

Repair of damaged walls, render, cladding or structural surfaces is not included.

Blocked Downpipes & Stormwater Drains

Replacing a damaged downpipe will not necessarily fix a blocked underground stormwater drain.

If water is backing up from the bottom of the downpipe or overflowing during rain, there may be a blockage or downstream stormwater problem.

JR's drainage service recognises that recurring drainage issues can also result from damaged pipework, poor fall, roots, sags or poor connections.

Blocked or damaged underground stormwater drainage should be assessed separately.

Is This Service Right for Me?

This product is ideal if you have:

• A broken 90mm PVC downpipe

• A cracked downpipe

• A disconnected bottom fitting

• A damaged lower section

• A downpipe no longer connected to stormwater

• A badly deteriorated PVC downpipe

• A complete single-storey downpipe that needs replacing

• A standard residential 90mm PVC downpipe

For more extensive stormwater issues, use JR Gas & Water's broader drainage service.

Why Repair a Damaged Downpipe?

A downpipe's job is to carry roof water from the gutter into the stormwater drainage system.

A broken or disconnected downpipe can allow rainwater to discharge directly beside the building, potentially contributing to:

• Water pooling

• Erosion

• Muddy areas

• Damp areas around the home

• Water against slabs or walls

• Poor stormwater management

JR's existing drainage guidance specifically identifies poorly discharging downpipes as a potential cause of erosion, damp areas and other drainage problems.
