The Purpose of Downspouts

Downspouts function by channeling water away from your home. A normal rainfall will cause thousands of gallons of water to fall on your roof. Gutters catch the water and funnel it to the downspouts. The downspouts carry the water away from your home to prevent pooling in and around your foundation. If you have underground lines, they continue to carry water away from your home toward a trench, basin, or drain.

Downspouts Problems

Over time, underground lines can break down or house-mounted lines can become disconnected. Wilson Plumbing & Heating can fix these problems.

Your downspouts may be clogged if you notice:

• Gutters overflowing with water
• Large puddles of water or flowing water in your lawn on top of underground lines
• Wet spots or water stains inside your home near underground lines

Even if your gutters and traditional downspouts are working well, you may still be at risk for foundation problems when you lack underground lines. If you don’t have underground lines carrying water further away from your home, we can install them to dry out your basement and fix soggy areas in your lawn. We will install underground lines at the proper angles to make sure water is draining correctly.
