Causes of a clogged downspout

A downspout is also called a rainwater drain. The downspout is a pipe that leads rainwater such as rain, snow and hail from the roof and gutter to the sewer system. Every roof does have a rainwater drain (or downspout). Natural debris such as leaves and branches, as well as sand and other dirt, regularly ends up on the roof. This is carried along with the rainwater to the gutter and therefore also ends up in the downspout. These natural residues, the sand and dirt can accumulate, causing a blockage. If the gutter is clogged, then often the downspout is also clogged. Therefore, it is advisable to clean the gutter once in a while. In addition, it is important to take timely action. You can get started yourself or call a specialist for drainpipe unclogging.

Consequences of a clogged downspout

A downspout blockage can have unpleasant consequences that cause a lot of inconvenience or even high costs. For example, rainwater cannot drain properly, which can lead to gutter flooding and sagging and leaks at the gutter and downspout. Large amounts of flooding rainwater can also lead to mold on walls or wood rot on wooden window frames and fascia boards. Having to repair these damages can make the costs very high. Especially if insurance does not cover the cost because the cause falls under overdue maintenance. You can avoid these consequences by cleaning and clearing the gutter in time. Should you already be dealing with a clogged drainpipe, our friendly technicians are ready and will quickly and professionally unclog the drainpipe. 

Unclogging rainwater drains: do it yourself or hire a specialist?

Unclogging the drainpipe is often a tricky job. Usually the blockage is located at the top of the downspout, which means you have to climb the ladder and work at a considerable height.
