Downspout Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Downspouts do the hard work of moving Northwest rainfall away from the house, and they collect both interior clogs and exterior grime doing it. We clear the inside channels of packed needles and grit while washing the outer surface free of algae and streaks. A downspout that's blocked backs the whole gutter up, so keeping them open protects everything upstream. Clean exteriors also keep the vertical runs from staining the siding they're mounted against.
