One of the commonest problems with an underground gutter drainage system is that of it becoming blocked. This blockage or clogs can result in a back-flow of water into your home, which can be quite alarming. While it’s a good idea to call in a plumber like the ones at Cheap Plumber, there are certain things you can try before calling a professional.

Clearing gutter drains: Steps to follow

Sometimes, DIY and methods like the ones mentioned below can help clear minor blockages in your gutter drains.

To tackle this job, you would need a set of drain rods with certain accessories that you can buy from a local hardware store. These tools are quite inexpensive and come in handy when you are faced with an emergency such as this.
One of the first things to do is to try to use a plunger. If the blockage is minor this simple tool can easily clear the blockage in your gutter drains.
However, if the blockage is more severe, try using an auger.
The other option is to use pipe drain rods. These are flexible plastic rods which screw together as you work them. There are a number of different heads that you can attach to these pipe drain rods, such as dome heads, clearing wheels, double worm screws, and plungers.
You also have the option to purchase a high-pressure water hose that can be effective in clearing blocked underground gutter drains.

If none of these steps are effective in clearing the underground gutter drain you can always call a cheap plumber in Toronto to handle the job for you. For more information, call Cheap Plumber! We provide reliable and cost-effective underground drain repair services at very cost-effective pricing.
