    any roof plumbers out there? I need advise..

    when it pisses rain (like last week) my gutters fill up and flood into the eves because the back of the gutter is lower than the front (I dunno why there made like that!!)
    whats the fix for that? more down pipes and soakwells?
    or maybe cut slots in the front of gutter lower than the back like newer gutters?

    I was in the same situation a while back. Put in two more down pipes and haven't had a problem since. I didn't put them into soakwells as where they were needed just drops on the ground (sand).

    are you downpipes full of crap. I had the same issue as you but found out that the blockages were at the bottom of my downpipes where all the leaves and shit had compacted. Cleared it up and all good
