Downspouts and drainage

Water pooling by the foundation, erosion or a wet basement often starts at the downspouts. Call and we'll connect you with a gutter company.

Downspout work

  • Adding downspouts where long runs overflow.
  • Upgrading to oversized 3x4 downspouts.
  • Extensions that discharge water well away from the house.
  • Underground drain lines to a safe outlet.
  • Rain chains as a decorative option.

Why it matters

Water dumped at the base of the wall soaks the soil against the foundation. Moving it several feet away is one of the simplest ways to keep a basement dry.
