Show the whole rainwater route before focusing on a joint, outlet and downpipe. Give a repairer the location and visible evidence without claiming a flow test.
Hold to record. Keep holding while you film and speak; release to save the clip and its transcribed answer.
Four 9:16 example clips generated in Google Flow. Fictional inspection; no customer site is shown.
App-style example using Google Flow footage. The animated recording interface and gradually appearing words are scripted; no real inspection or live transcription took place.
The full visual example
Each short clip shows one point in the guided route. The footage is AI-generated and the observations are scripted examples, not findings from a real inspection.
Show the building elevation and the visible gutter line from safe ground-level access. Identify the run and outlet location.
The rear elevation and continuous visible gutter run are shown.
Frame a joint and adjacent gutter section in context, recording any visible sagging, separation or staining.
The gutter joint and adjacent roof edge are visible; support and seal condition cannot be confirmed from the clip.
Show the outlet from a safe position and record only debris or standing water that can actually be seen.
Leaf material appears near the visible outlet opening.
Follow the visible downpipe route and joints, recording any adjacent wall staining without inferring the cause.
The external downpipe route and joints are recorded against the brick elevation.
Identify the building and elevation. Record the visible run, then an accessible joint, outlet and downpipe route. Use safe ground-level views or authorised access only. This is a visual condition record. It does not prove internal blockage, leak rate, falls, fixing strength or the source of damp. Do not climb, lean out or work at height merely to collect footage.

How to use the record
Record the asset or site, visit stage, date and inspector. Keep each clip attached to its point and note anything inaccessible.
Say what the camera shows and where it is. Record the next action without guessing the cause or declaring a specialist result from video.

This is a visual condition record. It does not prove internal blockage, leak rate, falls, fixing strength or the source of damp. Do not climb, lean out or work at height merely to collect footage.
Questions, answered
No. It can show visible debris or overflow signs, but internal blockage and flow need separate checks.
No. Plan any work at height under an appropriate risk assessment and use suitable access; ground-level footage can record access limits.
No. Record the location and appearance, then investigate the cause separately.
