Is it thin downspout material or is there a real drain pipe under the
slab? I would try roto router type people to clear the clog under the
house/slab. You should clean your gutters and downspouts yourself.

Generally, I call a 'handyman' service for the gutters and a 'drain
cleaning' service for the underground stuff (think: Roto-Rooter, but they
are an expensive franchise. Use a local guy). After fracturing vertebra I
don't do roofs either.
