Roof and gutter cleaning in Melbourne is a
necessary chore but many homeowners forget about
cleaning the downspouts too. While a clogged
gutter is easy to spot, clogged downspouts can be
another matter. Unfortunately, if you skip
cleaning your downspouts, youre likely to
eventually face a hefty bill for water damage to
your home. A blocked downspout can also leave
water pooling around the foundations of your
home. Over time, this excess of water can seep
into the ground causing moisture damage to your
foundations. So how do you tell if a downspout
is clogged before its too late?

Watch out for these signs

• Unlike gutters, its not so simple as peering
  into your downspout to see if its clogged.
  Youre going to have to try these tricks.
• Start by taking a look at your gutters. Are they
  looking a little worse for wear? They might be
  breaking or pulling away from the roof. This can
  be caused by the increased pressure as water is
  forced back from the downspout.
• If you arent quite sure, wait for it to rain. If
  your gutters are clean but water is still
  overflowing, then chances are your downspout is
  blocked. Another tell-tale sign will be little to
  no water coming out of your downspout.

Clean your gutters

• Before you can tackle the downspout, clean your
  gutters. If you dont, your downspout could
  easily become clogged again, making gutter
  cleaning extremely important.

Start at the bottoms

• The majority of downspout clogs are located
  towards the bottom of the pipe since the water
  pressure slowly forces them down. They may even
  be quite close to the opening. Divert the
  downspouts flow and then reach inside.

Loose the clog

• Tougher clogs take extra work. They may have
  dried and stuck firmly inside the downspout.
  Knock your fist along the length of the downspout
  to see if you can shake them loose.
