After a storm, take a careful walk around your home and look up at the conservatory<\/a> from ground level. Pay close attention to the glass, panes, ceiling, walls, roof, and frame.<\/p>

Missing tiles can lead to leaks, especially after heavy rain. Sagging areas often indicate more serious underlying issues. Damaged gutters and downpipes can cause water to pool around the foundation, which can also lead to problems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The next thing to check for is any issue with your gutter system. Gutters and downspouts help to protect your conservatory from water damage by channelling water away from your home. After a storm, be sure to inspect your gutters and downspouts for any damage or blockages. Storms tend to pick up debris, often times landing on your conservatory. When the water is washed away from your oof, so is the debris such as leaves. If this debris builds up your gutter could become blocked and prevent water moving from your conservatory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
