Downspout Cleaning & Unclogging for Wauconda homes
Most gutter overflows are not the gutter. The run itself is half empty and the downspout is packed solid at the top elbow or the bottom bend, so water backs up along the whole length and spills over the edge nearest the clog. You can see it in a storm: one corner of the house pouring like a waterfall while the rest of the gutters behave.
We clear the clog from wherever it sits - top elbow, mid-run, the bottom bend or the underground extension - and flush the whole line with a hose until it runs clean at the outlet. If the downspout has to come apart to get the clog out, we take it apart and put it back. If the underground drain it feeds is collapsed or full of roots, we tell you rather than pretend the flush fixed it.
In Wauconda we work downtown Main Street and the Bangs Lake shoreline, the neighbourhoods off Route 12 and Route 176, and the subdivisions off Fairfield Road. Homes here are a mix of single and two-storey with plenty of mature trees, so most jobs are priced and scheduled straight from the photo you text, and we run Wauconda as a route day in fall so neighbours can be done on one trip.
Pricing
Priced from a photo, not an hourly rate
Four things set the price. Text a photo of the front of the house and we work them out for you and send one flat number that includes the cleanup and hauling the debris away.
- StoreysOne-storey is quick. Two and three storeys need taller ladders and more time.
- Gutter lengthA ranch with 120 feet is a different job from a big two-storey with 300.
- DownspoutsEach one gets flushed and confirmed clear. More downspouts, more time.
- Guards and debrisGutter guards to lift and refit, or years of packed debris, add time.

A single downspout is a small job with a small price. Text a photo of the downspout and where the water overflows and we send a number.

Yes. We flush the line from the top and check where it exits. Grit and leaf clogs clear; a collapsed pipe gets reported, not hidden.
