Troubleshooting
Gutter bend leaking at joints
Ensure the PVCu solvent cement was applied correctly and allowed to cure fully. Check for any debris in the joint before cementing. If the issue persists, the joint may need to be re-made or sealed with a compatible gutter sealant.
Water overflowing from the gutter
Check for blockages in the gutter or downpipe, including the bend itself. Ensure the gutter has adequate fall towards the downpipe. If the system is consistently overwhelmed, consider increasing the gutter size or adding more downpipes.
Bend appears discolored over time
While PVCu is durable, prolonged exposure to intense UV light can cause slight fading. Clean the surface with mild soap and water. For significant discoloration, consider the use of a plastic cleaner specifically designed for PVCu.
