Downpipes cleared!

So some lessons learnt over the years..

Fuck leaves and debris in gutters and putting it off
Fuck too much water
Right angles in downpipes can get fucked
Use your ears to ~~see~~ hear if you've unfucked it
Having no plumbing plan is bad and fucked. Write it down, all of it.

Wise words friend, our overflowing gutters kept waking us up during last night. Looks like one of them has rusted through as well.

I hate that so much. If you're unlucky it could flood your ceiling/eaves. In the end those bristle things were installed in the gutter to keep leaves out

Before anyone blames trees for existing I'd like to suggest a gutter guard to help keep leaf debris from clogging up the gutters themselves and any downpipes.
