Downspout Repair
Flow Restored
Downspouts take the abuse — mower bumps, ladders, ice slugs, kids’ basketballs. Crushed, detached, or leaking drops fixed fast, because a broken downspout drains the roof onto your foundation.
Everything That Happens To Downspouts
Crushed at the bottom by the mower or the trash cans; strapping torn loose so the drop swings and leaks at every joint; elbows split by ice slugs that froze inside; seams weeping down the wall face. Each fix is quick with the right sections and straps on the truck — matched to profile and color — and each matters, because a compromised downspout quietly redirects a roof’s worth of water to exactly the wrong place.
Where The Downspout Meets The Drain
The most consequential failures hide at grade: downspouts pulled out of their underground drain connections, adapters cracked, or drains silently clogged so water backs up the drop and exits at the seams. We restore the connection, flow-test into the drain, and flag it honestly when the buried side needs work too.
What People Ask Before Booking
My downspout leaks at every joint when it rains hard — why?
Usually a clog below forcing water back up the column and out the seams — the leak is the symptom, the blockage is the repair.
Is a crushed bottom section really a problem?
A crushed outlet chokes the whole drop — the run above it overflows in storms while looking perfectly fine.
Can you match my downspout color and style?
Standard profiles and colors ride on the truck; odd ones get sourced. Either way it will not look like a patch.
Why does my downspout leak at the seams in heavy rain?
Almost always a clog below forcing water back up the column and out the joints — the seam is the symptom; the blockage is the repair.
Can a crushed downspout cause gutter overflow?
Directly — a choked outlet backs the whole run up in storms while everything looks fine from the ground.
How do you fix a downspout that came apart at the seams?
Sections re-seat in flow direction (uppers inside lowers), fasten, and strap to the wall — backwards assembly is the classic DIY leak.
Why does my downspout bang in the wind?
Loose strapping — the drop is swinging. Two minutes of re-strapping now beats re-hanging a torn-loose downspout later.
Can one damaged section be replaced without redoing the whole drop?
Yes — sections and elbows swap individually, matched to profile and color so the repair disappears.
