Downspout Repair — What We Do
A clean gutter that dumps into a blocked downspout is still a flooded gutter. Downspouts are the part of the system nobody looks at, and they are where most Montgomery drainage problems actually start. Clearing and re-hanging them is everyday work for our Montgomery gutter crew, and it is usually a same-visit fix.

Trace the blockage
Water goes in at the top and we watch what comes out at the bottom. That tells us whether the clog is in the vertical run, the elbow or the underground line.
Clear or open up
Most clogs clear with flushing and a snake. Where they will not, we open the run at a seam, clear it and reassemble.
Repair and re-strap
Leaking joints get resealed, damaged sections get replaced, and straps go back on tight.
Fix where it discharges
If the outlet is dumping against your foundation, we extend it. This is the single cheapest thing most homeowners can do to protect a slab or crawlspace.
Downspout Repair — Frequently Asked Questions
Either the downspout is discharging right at the foundation with no extension, or the underground drain it feeds is blocked. Both are common in older Montgomery neighborhoods and both are fixable.
At least four to six feet from the foundation, onto ground that slopes away. Longer if the grade runs back toward the house.
We can flush and snake the accessible portion and tell you what we find. Collapsed or root-filled underground lines need excavation, and we will say so rather than sell you repeat flushings.
