Downspout Repair

What This Service Involves

A gutter can be spotless and still fail if the downspout is dented shut, pulled loose, or packed with needles. Around the Sound these blockages back water up into the trough until it overflows at the worst possible spot. We clear the obstruction, reseat or replace crushed sections, and re-secure any straps that have come away from the wall. Restoring a clear path all the way to the ground stops the overflow and the foundation soaking that follows.

Benefits

Restores clear flow from the gutter to the ground; clears the needle blockages common under evergreens; reseats or replaces crushed and dented sections; re-secures loose straps before sections tear away; stops the overflow that soaks siding and foundation

Our Process

1) Inspect the downspout for clogs, dents, and loose straps; 2) Clear any blockage and flush the full length; 3) Reseat, reconnect, or replace damaged sections; 4) Re-secure straps and confirm water reaches the ground

What Affects the Cost

Extent of clog, dent, or disconnection; whether sections need replacing versus repair; height and accessibility of the run; number of downspouts affected; matching material and color for replacements
