Location: Purmerend. Executed by DB Dakwerken.
From plastic drains to custom zinc work
The old PVC downpipe of this home in Purmerend showed cracks and leaking spots. As a result, water was running down the facade. Furthermore, the appearance of the plastic drain did not match the character of the house. A zinc rainwater drain offered a replacement for both of these issues.
The existing pipe was completely dismantled and removed. Subsequently, DB Dakwerken manufactured and installed a custom-made zinc version. At the top, it is connected to the gutter; at the bottom, the connection to the sewer system was taken care of.
A complete route for rainwater
The fixings and connections were finished during installation so that water can flow from the gutter to the drain. In doing so, the worn plastic parts were replaced and the facade received a new finish.
This project was completed in February 2026. For the new rainwater drainage system and installation, DB Dakwerken provides a 10-year warranty on materials and labor.
