Downspouts that drain right next to the foundation are one of the most common contributors to foundation water problems. We install underground drainage pipe that carries roof runoff well away from the house and outlets it safely — a simple upgrade that significantly reduces foundation water load.
Why Short Extensions Don't Work
A splash block moves water two feet from the house. During a heavy rain, that water saturates the soil against the foundation before it can drain away. Over time, that repeated saturation leads to water intrusion in basements and crawl spaces. An underground downspout drain carries the water completely away from the structure.
How We Install Underground Downspout Drainage
We connect a solid PVC pipe to the downspout base, bury it below grade with adequate slope, and route it to a daylight outlet at the edge of the property. The outlet is placed where the discharged water won't create a new drainage problem. The system is low-maintenance and handles the full volume of roof runoff during heavy rain events.
