They can lead to water damage and promote the growth of mildew and mould. Fortunately the pipes are repairable. But first you'll need to clean the pipes free of any rust or paint with wire brushes. After the pipes have been cleaned, you'll need to determine the extent and nature of damage. Caulking Although caulking isn't a long-lasting solution, it's usually enough to protect against further damage and keep rainwater flowing.

Then, fill the caulk gun up with a small amount the compound. Apply it to the joints and gaps you'd like to repair. When using a caulking gun you should be consistent with the speed and pressure you use to apply a smooth, even bead of the compound to the gaps or joints. After you've applied the caulking, take at least six hours before using the downpipe once more. This will allow the caulking to completely dry and provide an extremely durable, long-lasti
