Concrete Inside Gutter Problems

[Fredalene]

Hello I badly need an expert advice.

My house has an inside concrete gutter which runs across our bedroom. We found out that the gutter has small space so when it's raining really hard, it easily fills then eventually leaks through our ceiling down to our bedroom walls and floors.

The inside gutter is attached to the firewall and we are not allowed to get the water across the other side of the property. Any expert advice on how we can get this solved asap? It's very horrible when it starts raining.

Thank you so much in advance.

Why don't you line the stone trough with lead and you could then build the sides up to increase the capacity.

Yes it needs to be lined. With the lining taken up the sides of the adjacent roof or wall to deal with any filling up, and the bottom sloped enough to allow the water to run off.
