There are ways in which you can clean or unclog your downspouts but using some ways are not recommended by professionals. Try keeping up with your rain gutters for proper home maintenance.

- Do not use rod or poles to clear the clogs in downspouts.
- Never use home cleaners because water pooling around your home can damage some of your home property. It can be leaked out in the basement as it will create a breeding area for mold.
