We are currently planning our new build with internal downpipes. Our architect has planned for these to pass through the external insulation at four points. We recently spoke with our roofer, who has limited experience with this but warned that in case of material defects, moisture could penetrate the masonry unnoticed. What are your experiences and opinions on this?

KingJulien9 Jul 2021 23:21I’m wondering: why do people do that? For aesthetic reasons?
It wouldn’t be for me. I’m already worried about my house with the connections for the shower/bathtub. 😉

Hendrik19809 Jul 2021 23:23Yes, for aesthetic reasons we are currently planning it this way. It would be interesting to know if this poses a real risk.
To be honest, I also suspect technical reasons behind the extremely short lifespan of this trend, which, as far as I remember, lasted less than two years around 1980.
