Downspout cleaning & unclogging in Scarborough

When Scarborough's silver maples dump a season of leaves in one windy week, the downspouts take the hit first — a trough that fills that fast pushes debris straight down the spout, and the elbow chokes on it. Side-splits complicate the plumbing: two roof levels often mean spouts at different heights, with the upper level discharging onto the lower roof and doubling the load on the bottom run. And out along the Bluffs in Birch Cliff and Cliffside, wind-packed debris compacts in spouts tighter than gravity ever manages.

Every cleaning we do ends with the downspout flush and an end-to-end flow test — included, never an add-on. On the 2026 matrix a side-split typically prices as two storeys at $399, and a Bluffs-edge or ravine lot in Guildwood or West Hill adds $20. We clear blockages from the top or the elbow on the same visit and confirm the discharge actually leaves the house — if your spout gurgles in a downpour or runs silent while the gutter sheets over the edge, the elbow already has a story to tell.
