Care home roof drain. Blockage

[armyash]

Just been to this. We managed to clear it with a plunger but even when draining it would keep backing up and not go away. Never seen it before.

Theres a normal overflow pipe and also a down pipe which were both letting water out. Still think there will be issues, some sort of restriction. Would some thing like this have a non return valve? Seems unlikely but thought someone might know.

Approx 10-15m to discharge

Did it not have a ballon guard or anything similar to catch the leaves and rubbish generally ending up on roofs?....regards Turnpin

No but someone is sorting that next week. Too late now though!

The pressure when plunging it was very hard.
