Water around the house · Stratford, CT
Gutter and Underground Drains in Stratford, CT
Gutters catch the rain. Downspouts and the pipes buried under the lawn are supposed to carry it away from the house. When any part of that clogs, the water ends up by the foundation.

What it is
What we do for gutter and underground drains
Many homes here have downspouts that run into a pipe in the ground. That pipe carries roof water out to the yard, the curb or a dry well. It works fine for years, then leaves, mud and roots fill it and the water has nowhere to go.
We clean gutters and downspouts, and we clear the underground lines too. That buried part is the one most people forget about, and it is often the real reason water is sitting by the house.
How we do it
How we handle gutter and underground drains
Follow the water
Gutter, downspout, the pipe in the ground and where it comes out. We find the point where it stops moving.
Clear the line
Leaves and debris out of the gutters and downspouts, then the buried line cleared so the water can run through it again.
Tell you what we found
If the buried pipe is crushed or full of roots, we explain it and what fixing it involves before any work starts.
Around here
Fall leaves, then the first big rain
Autumn here means leaves packed into gutters and the pipes that carry downspout water away. The first hard rain after that is when basements and yards start taking water.
Winter adds ice. A downspout line that is already half full of debris can freeze solid, and the spring melt has nowhere to go. A cleaning in late fall saves a lot of trouble.
From Google reviews
★★★★★"All Clear did a professional job. Charlie was a powerhouse under Frank’s leadership, drilling the holes so that the drainage could occur without flooding our basement, using modern camera and scope technology to find the problem, and even giving suggestions to protect our home as we move ahead. Worth the money to go with a local company that gets the job done with care and expertise."

Questions
Gutter and Underground Drains questions
Can a clogged gutter really cause water in my basement?
Yes. When gutters or underground downspout lines clog, the roof water lands right beside the foundation. That is one of the most common reasons basements get wet after rain.
Where does my underground downspout pipe go?
It could run to the street, the yard or a dry well. If you are not sure, we can trace it, and our pipe locating service can mark where it runs.
Do you clean gutters on their own?
Yes. Gutter and downspout cleaning is part of this service, and we check the underground side while we are there.
