Why it matters
Edmonton's spring melt overwhelms clogged downspouts
When a downspout is blocked, melt water pours over the gutter and pools at your foundation — the leading cause of basement leaks in March and April.
Ice damming starts at the downspout
A clogged downspout backs water up under your shingles all winter. We clear them in the fall so January thaw cycles don't destroy your soffit.
A top-only clean isn't a real clean
Most companies clear the gutter and skip the downspout. We flush every one to the ground — if water doesn't come out, we keep working.
Underground drains too
Where downspouts feed into underground drains, we test for backflow and flag any that need a separate jetting service.

FAQs
Is downspout flushing included in a regular gutter clean?
Yes — every FlowFix clean includes hose-flushing each downspout and confirming flow at the discharge. It's not an upsell.
How do I know my downspouts are clogged?
Water overflowing the gutter during rain, ice forming behind a downspout in winter, or no water coming out the bottom during a hose test are all signs.
Can you clear underground drain blockages?
We can flush and inspect; severe underground blockages need a power-jetting specialist and we'll refer you out.
How often should downspouts be cleared in Edmonton?
Twice a year minimum — late spring after seed-fall and late October after leaf drop. Homes under spruce or poplar should book the fall clean before mid-November.
