    What Downspout Repairs Do We Handle?

    A blocked, cracked, or misdirected downspout puts your foundation, landscaping, and basement at risk every time it rains. We fix the cause, not just the visible symptom.

    Blocked and Clogged Downspout Clearing

    Leaves, seed pods, and compacted debris collect in elbows and underground connections. We clear blockages from the full pipe length, including lower elbows, and confirm they are clear before leaving.

    Disconnected and Loose Downspout Reattachment

    Disconnected sections send water down the exterior wall rather than through the pipe. We reattach and re-secure with the correct brackets and fasteners for your wall substrate, and realign the full run.

    Cracked, Bent, or Damaged Section Replacement

    Sections damaged by ice or impact cannot be patched reliably. We replace with matching aluminum profile and colour, reconnected cleanly without visible mismatches or leak points.

    Downspout Extension and Redirection

    If your downspout discharges too close to the foundation, we install extensions and elbows to redirect water at least 1.5 to 2 metres from the foundation perimeter.

    Mandatory Downspout Disconnection

    The City of Toronto requires most residential downspouts to be disconnected from the sewer system. If your downspout drains into an underground connection, it may need to be updated. We disconnect from the standpipe where required, cap the connection, and redirect the outlet so water flows safely away from your home and your neighbor's property.

    Downspout Repair in Toronto, Mississauga & the GTA

    If your downspouts are blocked, broken, or directing water the wrong way, that water is likely ending up at your foundation.

    Why Choose Century Aluminum for Downspout Repair?

    We Trace the Problem to the Source

    Elbows at the top of the pipe are where blockages most often lodge and stay. We clear the full length, not just the accessible top section, and confirm clear flow from outlet to ground before finishing.

    We Know Toronto's Downspout Bylaw

    Downspouts should not discharge into the city sewer system in most residential setups. We disconnect, cap, and redirect properly to meet Toronto bylaw requirements where applicable.

    Part of Your Full Eavestrough System

    A downspout repair that ignores gutter pitch, outlet position, and foundation drainage grade often misses the reason it failed. We check the full picture in the same visit.

    Quick Downspout Repair Turnaround When Possible

    We stock standard downspout profiles and colors. Clearing, reattachment, and single-section replacement are typically completed in one visit.

    Signs Your Downspout Needs Repair

    • Gutters overflowing even after cleaning: Downspout below is blocked – water has nowhere to go.
    • Water running down the exterior wall below the gutter: A disconnected joint sending water down the face of the building.
    • Pooling or soft ground near the foundation: Downspout discharging too close to the house or outlet is blocked.
    • Visible cracks, dents, or separated joints on the pipe: Damaged sections letting water escape mid-run.
    • Downspout rattling or visibly detached from the wall: Loose brackets failing and getting worse with every wind and ice event.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Downspout Repair in Toronto

    Why is water overflowing from my gutters if they are clean?

    A blocked downspout. Even with a clean gutter channel, a clog in the downspout elbow or underground connection backs up and causes overflow. We flush the full pipe length to confirm flow from top to discharge point.

    Downspouts must be disconnected from the sanitary and combined sewer system and redirected to drain onto the property surface. Homes with older underground connections may be non-compliant. We disconnect, cap, and redirect in compliance with city guidelines.

    Yes. Downspouts are a separate component. If your eavestroughs are sound but the downspout is blocked, cracked, or misdirected, we fix the downspout without touching the gutter system.

    The City of Toronto recommends at least 4 to 6 feet, flowing away from the house and away from neighbouring properties. Where the grade slopes toward the house, a longer extension or splash pad may be needed.

    Bracket failure from freeze-thaw cycling, ice load bending the connection points, or brackets never properly fastened into the wall substrate. We replace failed brackets with the correct hardware for your wall material.
