When the downspout is clogged it can cause problems not only to the gutter, but also to the foundation of the home and basement. The water will overflow the gutters and leak out creating puddles that can seep into the foundation and cause problems. It is important that the gutters and all downspouts are properly maintained for this reason.
To see if the downspout is cleared, look to see if the water used to rinse the gutters drained down the downspout with ease. If not, an easy fix would be to put the hose up the downspout to try to flush away anything stuck. If water still is not draining, then you might need to use a drain snake to loosen any stuck debris.
For gutters that lead into the ground you will have to take apart the bottom piece of aluminum to allow access to the downspout. All you have to do is unscrew or loosen the part of the gutter that is inserted in the drain and repeat the steps for clearing the downspout.
To help prevent clogged downspouts, you can place leaf strainers at the top of the downspout. This will catch large debris from getting stuck.
Making sure that you have clean gutters for your home is a necessity. It’s as much an aspect of property maintenance as yard care and shrub trimming. It’s more important because water may harm so many things on and in your home and cause dangerous mold and mildew if water gathers in your basement or foundation.
