due to heavy rains lately in Pacific Northwest I notice for first time
that the junction between one of my downspouts and the 4 inch PVC pipe
that drains the rainwater away spouts water onto my lawn - it looks like a
natural spring!! The other downspout-4inch pvc pipes around the home
function perfectly well.

I suspect the underground pipe is clogged and am tempted to rent a hand
driven snake to unclog. Appreciate any thoughts anyone with similar
experience may have had.
thx

Might be clogged with Douglas Fir needles at the junction. I know when I
finally cleaned my problem gutter the downspout pipe looked like it had
taken a crap. I had to manually remove a huge ball of needles from the exit
before flow continued.
