If water is pooling near your foundation, flooding parts of your yard, or causing erosion, the issue may be a clogged underground gutter drain. At Charlottesville Gutter Pros, we provide expert underground drain cleaning services throughout Albemarle County to restore water flow and prevent costly water damage.
Our trained technicians use professional-grade equipment to flush out buried downspout extensions blocked by leaves, mud, roots, and other debris. We help homeowners across Albemarle County reduce the risk of damage to foundations, basements, crawl spaces, and landscaping.
How Underground Gutter Drains Work
Underground gutter drains are designed to direct water from your downspouts safely away from your home. They connect to the downspouts and carry rainwater through a system of buried pipes that discharge to a curb, storm drain, dry well, or designated low-lying area in your yard.
This type of system helps to:
- Move water away from your foundation
- Prevent flooding and soil erosion in your yard
- Reduce excess moisture in basements and crawl spaces
These systems are common in Albemarle County, where many homes are built on slopes or surrounded by mature trees. However, because the pipes are underground, clogs can develop over time and often without any visible signs until problems arise.
Signs of a Clogged Underground Gutter Drain in Albemarle County
Clogged underground drains can lead to serious water issues around your home. Watch for these common warning signs:
- Water overflowing at the base of your downspouts: A blocked drain may be preventing water from exiting the system.
- Pooling or puddles near your home’s foundation: Standing water around your home can lead to cracks, shifting, or leaks.
- Soggy or eroded areas in your yard: Poor drainage can damage landscaping and cause unsafe, muddy conditions.
- Gurgling sounds or slow drainage during rain: These are signs of air pockets or partial blockages in your underground system.
- Water stains or leaks in your basement or crawl space: Clogs can cause water to back up into lower levels of your home.
- Plant debris or sediment coming from the drain outlet: Debris at the drain outlet may indicate that the line is partially blocked and not draining properly.
If you’re noticing any of these issues, it’s time to schedule professional underground drain cleaning. Ignoring the problem can lead to foundation damage, indoor moisture problems, or landscape deterioration.

FAQ
Got Some Questions? We got you covered.
Do I have to be home when you come?
No, if it’s a routine visit our technicians will call you to notify you of things they discovered with your gutters or make recommendations. If you’re home they will knock on your door and say hi. One perk of being home is we can show you photos in person.
Do you “flush” the gutters?
No, we don’t believe it’s necessary to rinse or “flush” your gutters with water because it’s extra work and we don’t think it’s worth paying extra for! We use air to test the downspouts and that works most of the time. Occasionally we’ll have to use a hose to clean the gutters but it’s rare.
Can I pay online?
Yes! And everything is automatic so when you approve the quote you’ll pay a 50% deposit and store your card on file. When we’re finished you’ll be automatically charged the remaining balance and then receive a receipt via email. Super easy and super simple!
Do you take photos?
We used to but because of the high volume of clients we serve it’s no longer practical. It could take us several hours a day to upload and send to each client. But upon special request we can! One perk of being home is we can show you photos in person.
