Downspout Unclogging

Is your downspout clogged? Then you run the risk of leaks, water damage, wood rot, and mold growth. Therefore, it is important to unclog the downspout promptly. Make an appointment with RBNL's friendly technicians. They will visit you quickly and clear the downspout. To reduce the chance of a blockage, cleaning the gutter once a year or every six months is advisable. You can also count on us for this. Make an appointment online or by phone and have your downspout professionally and quickly unclogged by RBNL's certified professionals!

Causes of a Clogged Downspout

A downspout is also known as a rainwater drain. It is a pipe that directs rainwater, such as rain, snow, and hail, from the roof and gutter to the sewer system. Every roof is equipped with a rainwater drain (or downspout). Natural debris like leaves and branches, as well as sand and other dirt, regularly ends up on the roof. This is carried by the rainwater to the gutter and then into the downspout. These natural residues, sand, and dirt can accumulate, causing a blockage. If the gutter is clogged, the downspout is often clogged as well. Therefore, it is advisable to clean the gutter every now and then. Additionally, it is important to take timely action. You can try to fix it yourself or call a specialist for downspout unclogging.

Consequences of a Clogged Downspout

A clogged downspout can have unpleasant consequences, causing significant inconvenience or even high costs. For instance, rainwater may not drain properly, leading to gutter overflows, sagging, and leaks in the gutter and downspout. Large amounts of overflowing rainwater can also cause mold growth on walls or wood rot in wooden window frames and fascias. Repairing this damage can become very expensive, especially if your insurance doesn't cover it due to neglected maintenance. You can prevent these issues by cleaning and clearing your gutter promptly. If you are already dealing with a clogged downspout, our friendly technicians are ready to quickly and professionally clear it for you. 

Unclogging a Rainwater Drain: Do It Yourself or Call a Specialist?

Othman did a thorough job; he took the time to thoroughly clean the drainpipe outside and then inspect it with a camera. We could see that he had done a great job. He’s a skilled professional.

Othman from Rioolbeheer Nederland showed up at our doorstep within an hour of our call—he just happened to be in the neighborhood. What great service! The clog was cleared, and after the camera inspection, we received some tips for the future. We’re happy with this service and the super laid-back and friendly technician. We know who to call from now on.

Tips to Prevent a Clogged Rainwater Drain

To ease your worries, we not only unclog downspouts but also gladly offer some tips to prevent a clogged rainwater drain. We have listed the most important tips for you:

Keep the gutters clean

By cleaning the gutters once every six months or once a year and clearing them of leaves, branches, sand, and other debris, you reduce the chance of a clogged downspout, meaning we won't have to visit for downspout unclogging!

Install leaf guards and gutter drains in the gutter

These useful tools prevent leaves and twigs from ending up in the gutter and downspout.

Install dome grates in the gutter

This grate is actually intended to prevent birds from nesting in the chimney pipe, but it also positively contributes to preventing a downspout blockage.

Regularly prune trees and overhanging branches around your home

By regularly pruning trees and overhanging branches around your home, you prevent leaves and branches from ending up in the gutter and downspout. This reduces the chance of a downspout blockage.

Schedule an appointment with a specialist for periodic gutter cleaning

A clogged downspout is often related to a clogged gutter. Therefore, it's better to prevent blockages and have the gutter cleaned preventively twice a year.
