Even if you clear all the leaves out of your roof gutter troughs, your drainage system can still fail if the downspouts are clogged. A single tennis ball, plastic bag, or nest can lodge inside the vertical downspout pipe, creating a bottleneck. During heavy rains, this blockage forces water to pool and overflow back into the roof structures. In this article, we cover how our estimators test downspouts by flushing water down from the top and checking for flow restrictions. We also provide advice on installing leaf guards and inspecting underground drain connections before the Edmonton winter freeze.

When selecting professional property services, it pays to ask detailed questions about the chemistry, safety protocols, and equipment being deployed. High-pressure washing is not a one-size-fits-all solution; brick, stucco, wood, and concrete all have different pressure thresholds. Similarly, modern sanitizing is built on safe biocides that target bacteria without off-gassing harmful pollutants.
