Clogged rainwater downpipes are the leading cause of water infiltration in top-floor apartments across Argentine buildings. Loxnudi provides preventive cleaning, unblocking and camera inspection — with a written internal condition report for every pipe.
Rainwater downpipes in high-rise buildings accumulate leaves, sediment, bird debris and atmospheric pollution year-round. Without periodic inspection, blockages develop silently — until the first heavy rain sends water through ceiling slabs, walls and electrical conduits.
By then, the damage extends far beyond the roof. Affected top-floor units, structural moisture, mold growth and insurance disputes are the predictable result of maintenance deferred too long.
Each service is designed to work together — inspection informs cleaning, cleaning informs the maintenance schedule.
Systematic removal of accumulated organic matter, sediment and debris from rainwater downpipes and rooftop drain grates. Performed before the rainy season or at scheduled intervals.
Mechanical and hydraulic unblocking of partially or fully obstructed pipes. Restores full flow capacity without structural intervention in most cases.
Flexible camera passed through each downpipe to document internal condition — cracks, root intrusion, sediment buildup and deformation — with a written report and maintenance frequency recommendation.
After each inspection, Loxnudi delivers a written document detailing the internal condition of every pipe examined. This includes photographic or video evidence from the camera, identification of any anomalies, and a clear recommendation on maintenance frequency — calibrated to the building's location, surrounding tree coverage and local air quality.
A structured process designed to minimize disruption to building residents while delivering thorough, documented results.
We review the building's pipe layout, number of downpipes, building height, and surrounding environment before scheduling the visit.
Technicians access rooftop drains and downpipe entry points. Debris is removed, flow is restored and each pipe is prepared for camera passage.
A flexible inspection camera is passed through each downpipe. Internal condition is recorded — sediment levels, cracks, joints, deformations.
A structured report is provided detailing findings per pipe, identified anomalies, and recommended maintenance frequency for the building.
Not every building needs the same cleaning schedule. Loxnudi's inspection report recommends a maintenance frequency based on observable, location-specific factors.
Buildings surrounded by mature trees — especially deciduous species — accumulate organic debris in downpipes much faster than those in open urban blocks.
Fine particulate matter and atmospheric deposits accumulate inside pipes over time. Buildings in high-traffic or industrial zones show faster sediment buildup.
Older pipe materials and joints are more susceptible to sediment adhesion and deformation. Inspection reveals whether the pipe itself needs attention beyond cleaning.
"A maintenance schedule written without knowing the building's specific context is guesswork. The inspection makes it a decision."
