A downspout repair should trace the leak or blockage from the gutter outlet to the bottom elbow. Water running behind a downspout can originate at the outlet above it, while a backed-up lower connection can make joints leak higher up. Describe where water first appears and whether the downspout is detached, crushed or moving away from the wall.
Ask whether the work includes replacing a damaged section, restoring brackets, clearing accessible restrictions and checking the discharge. Repairing the visible elbow will not solve a blocked buried drain beyond it. Existing material and profile affect replacement-part compatibility, especially on older or decorative systems. Where the route itself causes repeated damage or obstructs access, compare a revised layout with another patch.
