Why Downspouts Fail and Cause Flooding
Improper Downspout Extension Placement
Downspouts without extensions empty right at the foundation, soaking the soil and walls there.
Incorrect Gutter Pitch or Slope
Gutters sloped the wrong way hold water or send it to the wrong downspout, causing overflow.
Landscape Grading Toward the House
Soil that slopes toward the house lets downspout water run back to the foundation.
Damaged or Disconnected Downspout Sections
Downspout sections that separate or crack let water pour out right next to the wall.
