Key Benefits Of Our

Erosion Prevention
For transparency, we keep you informed throughout the entire process, so that you are never faced with any surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are downspouts and extensions important?
Downspouts and extensions direct rainwater safely away from your foundation, siding, landscaping, and walkways. Without proper drainage, water can pool near your home and cause structural damage, soil erosion, mold growth, and basement or crawlspace flooding.
How do I know if I need new downspouts or extensions?
You may need installation or upgrades if you notice overflowing gutters, pooling water around the foundation, soil erosion, staining on siding, mildew near the base of your home, or leaking inside your basement. Improper drainage is a common cause of foundation issues.
What types of downspout extensions do you install?
We install above-ground extensions, buried/underground drainage pipes, splash blocks, hinged extensions, and custom PVC or corrugated systems. The best option depends on your yard layout, roof size, and how far water needs to be moved away from the home.
How long should a downspout extension be?
Extensions should typically carry water at least 4–6 feet away from the foundation. In areas with heavy rainfall or sloped yards, we may recommend longer extensions or a fully buried drainage system to ensure proper water movement.
Do you install underground downspout drainage systems?
Yes. We can install buried PVC or corrugated pipes that carry water underground to a safe discharge point—such as a pop-up emitter, dry well, sloped runoff area, or drainage basin. Underground systems provide a clean, long-lasting, and efficient drainage solution.
Can clogged or damaged downspouts be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes. Minor clogs, loose connections, or damaged elbows can often be repaired affordably. However, if the downspout is crushed, severely rusted, or improperly sized, replacement may be the best option to ensure proper drainage.
What materials do you use for new downspouts?
We install aluminum, galvanized steel, copper, and high-quality PVC, depending on your home’s design and budget. Aluminum is the most common due to its durability, rust resistance, and color flexibility, while copper provides a high-end architectural look.
How long does downspout installation or extension work take?
Most installations take 1–2 hours per downspout, depending on the configuration and whether the system is above-ground or underground. Larger drainage systems or trenching may take longer. We provide a clear timeline before any work begins.
