Gutter clogged - who to call? miamicuse 05-31-2006

I have a house with an interior courtyard where half the roof actually
slopes to this courtyard. For this reason there is a gutter around the edge
and eventually drains to a gutter which goes down and into the the slab and
bends and eventually comes out of the house on the other end.

This is now completely clogged up from leaves and debris going into it.

I have tired to shoot water using a high speed garden hose jet, no luck...so
I need professional help.

What kind of professionals do I need? Don't think I need a plumber right?
I don't think this is appropriate to shoot down a 3" snake designed for a
PVC sewer.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

MC

Are the downspouts or drainage line clogged. You can use a rodder for
either. This is really DIY stuff. While you're cleaning the gutter, you
should lay gutter screens.

What do you mean?

This is a house I just bought and had dozens of problems I need to address.
Half of the down spout is buried inside the concrete slab and it is blocked
somewhere. How am I being lazy?

You can call a 100$ hr plumber, I call an 8$hr kid.
