Downspout cleaning & unclogging in Burlington

Burlington's downspouts clog by elevation. Up toward Tyandaga and the Escarpment, pine needles wash down and felt into the elbow — a dense column that passes a glance and fails a downpour. Near the lake in Roseland, the oak-and-maple version is bulkier and more obvious but just as blocking. The hillside adds a step that is easy to miss: on a lot that steps down a storey at the back, where the water exits matters as much as whether it flows — a spout discharging uphill of the wall just sends the water back to the foundation.

Every cleaning includes the downspout flush and an end-to-end flow test — on the 2026 matrix, $399 for a two-storey detached, with the tallest-working-height rule meaning hillside rears price as the storeys they actually are. Blockages come out at the top or the elbow the same visit, and on sloped Tyandaga and Brant Hills lots we check the discharge lands downgrade of the house. If it does not, an extension gets it there — quoted before we touch it, like everything we do.
