Underground Gutter System Maintenance: Preventing Flooding and Property Damage in Southwest Florida

Why Underground Gutter Systems Need Maintenance

Florida’s frequent rainstorms can overwhelm surface drainage, pushing water into underground gutter systems designed to protect landscaping, driveways, and building foundations.
Over time, these buried lines collect sand, leaves, and roof debris that restrict water flow — often going unnoticed until flooding or pooling water appears.

Regular maintenance ensures your drainage system performs as intended, protecting both your property and the surrounding infrastructure.

Signs Your Underground Gutters May Be Clogged

It’s easy to miss issues underground, but warning signs at the surface include:

  • Standing water around downspouts or driveways

  • Overflowing gutters even after cleaning

  • Erosion or sinking areas near foundations

  • Damp mulch or soil that never dries

  • Water backing up into walkways or garages

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.

How We Maintain Underground Systems

At Two Tools and a Truck, we use hydro jetting and vacuum excavation to safely clean and restore underground drainage systems without digging or damaging surrounding areas.

Our process includes:

  • Camera inspection to locate clogs and pipe defects

  • Jetting and flushing to clear debris and buildup

  • Vacuum removal of sediment and sludge

  • Flow testing to confirm full system performance

This combination ensures a thorough, long lasting solution that protects your property before the next storm hits.
