Downspout Extensions

The goal of your gutter/downspout system is to deliver water from the large roof area away from the foundation of your home. To aid in this goal, we recommend buried downspout extensions on all downspouts.

We use a High-density polyethylene (HDPE) which is a very strong and corrosion-resistant piping.

Hydrostatic Pressure: A Hazard of Improper Drainage

A negative pitch of the grade around the exterior of your home's foundation provides a direct path for water toward the home.  This adds harmful hydrostatic pressure and can void home warranties.  The foundation may show signs of hydrostatic pressure by having cracks on the interior walls.  Structural foundation damage are problems that occur in homes with improper drainage.
