If it does then you successfully unclogged the pipe.
Spray it down into the pipe and see if water comes out the other side.
Rain diverter the rain diverter is placed between downpipes.
Calculating effective roof areas where gutter angles are installed.
Rainwater calculations on face value guttering installation is a piece of cake but it is amazing how many installers get it wrong.
For hipped roofs with eaves gutters a simplified formula can be used to calculate catchment area but the slope of the roof must be known.
This can be calculated by using the following formula see diagram below.
It is sometimes also referred to as a downspout drain spout roof drain pipe or leader.
Vertical walls abutting a roof must be included in the catchment area.
Refer to as nzs 3500 3.
A scupper may drain into a downspout on the exterior of the building or it may have an extended chute or pipe that directs a stream of water away from the building.
Thanks to the integrated stainless steel grille the rainwater valve also serves as a leaf.

Roof drainage systems design as nzs 3500 3.
If not continue working the snake further to find other blockages.
Scuppers are open holes or channels cut into the roof edge or parapet.
