Where Your Water Goes Matters More Than You Think

Great gutters with bad drainage are like a highway that ends at a cliff. The water gets collected, sure -- but if it dumps right next to your foundation, you are still getting the same damage.

Foundation cracks, basement flooding, soil erosion, and landscape damage all start at the bottom of your downspouts. Proper drainage routes water far from your home, where it cannot do any harm.

Whether you need simple extensions, underground piping, or a complete drainage redesign, we solve the problem at the source.

Downspout and drainage system directing water away from foundation

Our Drainage Solutions

Downspout Extensions

The simplest fix for water dumping too close to your house. We add extensions that carry water 4-6 feet away from your foundation. Above-ground or hinged for easy mowing.

BEST SOLUTION

Underground Drainage

Buried PVC pipes carry water 10+ feet from your home to a pop-up emitter. Invisible once installed. The most reliable long-term solution for foundation protection.

Splash Blocks & Basins

Budget-friendly option for redirecting water at the discharge point. Best for homes on slopes where water naturally moves away from the foundation.

Signs Your Drainage Needs Attention

Pooling Water

Standing water near your foundation after rain is the biggest red flag. Water should move away from your house, not sit next to it.

Wet Basement

Damp walls, water marks, or actual flooding in your basement almost always trace back to poor exterior drainage.

Erosion Trenches

Channels carved in your soil or landscaping under downspouts mean water is concentrating instead of dispersing.

Foundation Cracks

Water repeatedly saturating the soil around your foundation causes expansion, contraction, and eventually cracking.

Our Drainage Process

We design the system around your property, not a one-size-fits-all template.

Assess

We evaluate your property grading, downspout locations, soil conditions, and where water currently goes.

Design

We map the optimal drainage path for each downspout, factoring in landscaping, walkways, and local codes.

Install

Extensions are added or trenches are dug for underground lines. Pop-up emitters are placed at discharge points.

Test

We run water through the entire system to verify flow rate, drainage distance, and proper discharge.

One Inch of Rain on 1,000 Sq Ft of Roof = 623 Gallons of Water

That is not a typo. Every rainstorm sends hundreds of gallons off your roof. Where that water ends up is entirely determined by your gutter and drainage system. Make sure it is going where you want it.

Downspout & Drainage FAQs

Water should discharge at least 4-6 feet from your foundation wall. For homes with persistent moisture issues, we recommend underground drainage that routes water 10+ feet away, ideally to a lower-grade area of your yard or a storm drain.

Pooling water near your foundation after rain, damp or wet basement walls, efflorescence (white mineral deposits) on basement concrete, erosion trenches along your house, and water stains in your basement are all red flags. If your downspouts dump water right at your foundation, that is problem number one.

We bury a PVC pipe that connects to your downspout and carries water underground to a discharge point far from your home. It is invisible once installed and eliminates surface water near your foundation entirely. We use pop-up emitters at the discharge point so the pipe stays clear of debris.

Yes. Many homes do not have enough downspouts for their gutter length. We add outlets and downspouts to improve drainage capacity. As a rule of thumb, you need one downspout for every 30-40 linear feet of gutter.

Splash blocks help redirect water away from your foundation at the discharge point, but they are a basic solution. For homes with serious drainage needs, we recommend extensions or underground drainage for more reliable, long-term water management.
