Rainwater goods carry roof runoff towards a suitable drain. A leak or overflow can wet the wall, but clearing a blockage may involve work at height, fragile materials or concealed defects.

This lesson teaches a ground-level observation and maintenance handover. It does not establish competence to climb or provide a gutter-clearing procedure. Use a safe position away from falling material, traffic and electrical hazards; record what cannot be seen. Arrange appropriate help for work beyond safe ground-level observation.
