Professional Downspout Flushing & Cleaning

Trusted Downspout Cleaning That Protects Your Home—Season After Season

When water backs up or overflows from your gutters, a clogged downspout is often the hidden cause. At Clear Guard Gutters, we provide professional downspout flushing and cleaning services in Columbus, OH, to ensure water flows away from your home—preventing costly damage to your foundation, walls, and landscaping.

Why Downspout Cleaning Matters

Your downspouts are the final exit point for rainwater. If they’re blocked, even clean gutters can overflow. Common causes of clogs include:

  • Leaves and twigs
  • Roof shingle debris
  • Mud and compacted dirt
  • Bird nests or insect buildup
  • Ice and snow blockages (seasonal)

Blocked downspouts can cause water to overflow at the roofline or leak behind siding, leading to rot, mold, and erosion around your home’s foundation.

Our Professional Downspout Flushing & Cleaning Process

At Clear Guard Gutters, we go beyond visual checks—we use pressure flushing and manual clearing techniques to ensure every inch of your downspout is clear and functional.

Prevents Overflow & Flooding

Flushed downspouts allow rainwater to drain freely, reducing the risk of overflow, roof leaks, and basement flooding.

Protects Foundation & Landscaping

By keeping water away from your foundation, you avoid soil erosion, cracks, and costly structural damage.

Eliminates Hidden Clogs

Our flushing process removes compacted dirt, leaves, and debris deep inside your downspouts—beyond where the eye can see.

Improves Full Gutter Performance

Even if gutters are clear, clogged downspouts disrupt flow. We ensure your entire system drains efficiently from top to bottom.

Reduces Mold & Ice Dams

Clear downspouts help prevent winter ice dams and summer mildew by avoiding water stagnation around your home.

Quick, Non-Invasive Service

Our trained team completes the job cleanly and efficiently—with minimal disruption to your home or landscaping.

Frequently Asked Questions?

What are the signs my downspouts are clogged?
Desbordes en esquinas, charcos cerca de la base, burbujeo/retroceso durante lluvia o que el agua salga por juntas. Si ocurre incluso tras una limpieza de canalones, el problema está en los bajantes o en el drenaje subterráneo.
Do you flush downspouts as part of the service?
Sí—el flushing con agua (y presión cuando es necesario) está incluido para despejar obstrucciones comunes y comprobar el flujo hasta la salida.
Can you clean underground drain lines if they’re clogged?
Cuando detectamos bloqueo en líneas subterráneas, podemos cotizar un clean-out dedicado o recomendar solución especializada. Empezamos con diagnóstico desde el bajante hacia la línea.
How long does downspout cleaning take?
La mayoría de los trabajos toman 1–2 horas según la altura, número de bajantes y severidad del bloqueo. Confirmamos ETA al llegar.
How can I prevent future clogs?
Mantén una limpieza de canalones regular (primavera/otoño), considera gutter guards para reducir residuos y verifica que las salidas drenen a 3–6 pies de la cimentación.
Do you repair or resize downspouts?
Sí—podemos reubicar, ampliar o agregar salidas adicionales para mejorar el caudal en techos grandes. Si hay secciones dañadas, proponemos reemplazo localizado.
