Downspout cleaning & unclogging in Ajax

Builder-grade downspouts clog fast — Ajax proves it every fall. Audley's newer blocks shed comparatively little, but what does come down chokes the minimal spouts the builder installed, usually at the first elbow, usually in the first heavy week. The older story runs along Duffins Creek: willow sheds fine, whippy material that wraps and packs in elbows the way leaves never do, and the big maples of South Ajax and Pickering Village supply the bulk on top. Tight Audley side yards add the placement problem — discharge lands a metre from two foundations unless someone aims it.

The flush and end-to-end flow test come included with every cleaning — 2026 matrix: $349 for an Audley townhouse, $399 for a central Ajax two-storey detached. We clear blockages from the top or the elbow on the same visit and check the exit point on those tight lots, adding or adjusting extensions so water leaves the wall behind. Book by mid-October if the creek corridor is your backyard; blocked spouts and the November freeze are a bad pairing.
