Your home's downspouts are the pipes that drive the rainwater from the gutter to the ground and away from your home's foundation. They begin in the outlet of a gutter or even a collector box. Some downspouts will drain above ground and into your yard or driveway. Others may flow into an underground downspout drain. A third type drains directly into the ground to a location that won't cause any damage to your home's foundation. There are a few things our professionals take into account before a downspout cleaning. Detroit experts at Mr. Rooter Plumbing know that in order to thoroughly clean out a downspout, one must start by clearing out any clogs from the bottom opening. Once this is done, our Detroit downspout cleaning team can start the clean-out from the top opening.
If the clogs are severe, our downspout and gutter cleaners will utilize a plumbing auger. During the downspout cleaning, Detroit plumbers from Mr. Rooter Plumbing insert the auger into the opening of the downspout and work it up and down. The auger will be able to pass through most downspout elbows, as well as effectively break through small clogs of leaves, twigs, and other gutter debris. If you've ever had drain services with Mr. Rooter Plumbing Detroit before, you know how effective these plumbing tools are.
If it has been years since you've received a downspout cleaning, Detroit homeowners are probably working with a lot of real estate—meaning there is an accumulation of mildew growth, grime, clogs, and more. Similar to drains, stubborn clogs are a real pain to remove in your downspouts. For the most stubborn clogs, our plumbers will utilize our HyrdroScrub Jetting technology to unleash high-pressurized jets in your downspout and gutter systems. HydroScrub Jetting is essentially a more powerful version of power washing and can be used in many of your plumbing fixtures, including your drain lines. Those of you who have had a drain cleaning with us know how effective HyrdroScrub Jetting is.
In terms of gutter cleaning, Detroit homeowners who are not comfortable or equipped to handle the hassling nature of gutter cleaning can leave it to our professionals. Our team will perform a gutter inspection to see the extent of damage and debris and then move forward with our gutter cleaning methods, which are very similar to our downspout cleaning. Detroit homeowners can have peace of mind knowing that our gutter cleaning professionals have years of experience in clearing out all types of gutter clogs and will deliver a high-quality service.
