Call a hardware store, ask if they have snakes forsale. That's what a
pro is going to use, and they are going to charge you a big chunk of
change to take time out of their busy day to do your little job.

If the underground line is clogged you might want to call Rooter Rooter.
Worse case (expensive) is they come with their $500 pump job to get the clog
out without damaging line.

In future consider Leafguard brand gutters. They do not get crap in them.
Period. Mine are up 9 years now. Old gutters clogged in 4 months. In 9
years Leafguards have never been cleaned and are absolutely clean. Forget
the add on gutter helmits. I had them in my previous house and they didn't
work at all.
