At Gutter Glow, our professional downspout cleaning services are designed to keep your entire gutter system working efficiently — from rooftop to ground. While gutter cleaning removes debris from the horizontal troughs, downspout cleaning focuses on clearing the vertical pipes that direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation. Clogged downspouts are a common issue that can lead to gutter overflows, roof leaks, foundation damage, and landscape erosion if left unaddressed.
Our team uses specialized tools — including high-pressure water flushing, flexible rods, and safe manual clearing methods — to remove blockages and ensure water flows freely through your system. We inspect each downspout for obstructions, secure connections, and signs of damage as part of our comprehensive gutter and downspout maintenance process.
Ideal for homes surrounded by trees or prone to seasonal buildup, our downspout cleaning service can be scheduled as a standalone option or added to a routine gutter cleaning appointment. Regular drainage system cleaning helps prevent costly water issues and protects your property year-round. Book your service today and trust Gutter Glow to keep your gutters and downspouts clear, clean, and flowing properly.
Methods of Downspout Cleaning Services We Offer in New York, NY:
High-Pressure Water Flushing:
We use hose attachments or power flushing tools to force water through the downspout, breaking up and clearing debris blockages.
Manual Removal with Gutter Tools:
For accessible clogs, we use hand tools such as gutter scoops or flexible rods to manually dislodge and remove compacted debris.
Flexible Drain Snakes:
Similar to plumbing snakes, these tools are fed through the downspout to physically push through and break up stubborn obstructions.
Vacuum Extraction (if applicable):
On some properties, we use specialized vacuums to extract debris from downspouts, especially where pressure flushing may not be ideal.
Disassembly When Necessary:
In cases of severe blockage, we may disconnect sections of the downspout to access and remove trapped material directly.
Flow Testing:
After cleaning, we flush water through the downspout to confirm full drainage and ensure no partial blockages remain.

Even if your gutters are clear, clogged downspouts can trap water, cause overflows, and lead to damage around your foundation. Cleaning downspouts ensures your entire drainage system works efficiently.
We use high-pressure water flushing, flexible rods, manual clearing, or disassembly to remove clogs deep inside the downspouts—tools and methods that go beyond what’s typically needed for gutter troughs.
