Hello,
I live in south east Asia where rain has been heavier than usual.
One of our rain gutter serves as catch basin for the upper floor and ground floor. (see attached video)
The old design with the gutter down pipe and the enlarged gutter worked efficiently for the past year. However, recent torrential rains have caused rain water to pond and overflow, covering a portion of the roof.
I changed the design and redirected the down pipe towards the ground floor roof (see attached video) but we still experienced short overflowing and ponding.
We already cleaned the gutter but the issue persists.
My question is, how can I redesign the gutter down pipe so that it delays the rainwater, enough for the main gutter to drain as usual?
Thank you
