ᐅ Connecting one gutter to another – looking for a photo

Hello everyone,

maybe someone can help me. I’m looking for a photo online to show our building contractor what I mean, but I haven’t had any luck and don’t really know what to search for.

Here’s the situation: Our roof is not continuous on one side because it steps back partly due to a balcony. The gutter on the set-back section is supposed to connect into the gutter of the longer section. At the moment, it’s set up like this (sorry for the not-so-great photo):

We just noticed this yesterday and haven’t had the chance to clarify if this is a temporary solution or the final setup. It definitely looks quite unattractive.

I’ve seen houses where the downpipe runs parallel to the roof slope from the upper gutter and then connects sideways into the lower gutter.

Maybe someone has something like this or knows what this kind of situation is called?

There are no detailed construction drawings, not even current floor plans.
As I said: I am only looking for an example photo.

Yay, @Tassimat, this is exactly what I mean

Where does the drain run?
At the moment, it doesn’t lead anywhere. Once the exterior insulation is finished, the pipe will run down along the right corner of the house.

This would still be possible on both the right and left sides.

Yes, thank you. This definitely looks better. I will suggest it if the other option is not possible.
