Where the water exits matters. A suitable discharge path helps protect foundations, siding, walkways, and landscaping from uncontrolled runoff.

Reduce Problem Areas
Help reduce concentrated runoff near corners, walkways, landscaping, and other vulnerable areas.
CLEAR EXPECTATIONS
Good Drainage Requires More Than a Downspout
Downspouts manage roof runoff, but the surrounding grade, soil, hardscaping, underground drains, and final discharge point also affect where water travels.
A Downspout Can Help
• Create a controlled path from gutter to ground. • Reduce dumping at roof corners. • Direct runoff toward a chosen discharge area. • Support a properly pitched gutter system.
A Downspout Cannot Fix
• Incorrect gutter pitch or leaking seams. • Poor grading around the property. • Failed underground drainage. • Every source of standing water near a home.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Downspout & Drainage FAQs
Where should downspouts discharge?
The best location depends on the property. The goal is to move water away from vulnerable areas without creating another problem spot.
Can an existing downspout be moved?
Often it can be adjusted or rerouted, depending on the gutter outlet, wall layout, discharge path, and condition of the existing components.
Why does water collect near my downspout?
Possible causes include a short extension, restricted outlet, poor grading, saturated soil, or an underground drain that is not moving water correctly.
Can downspouts fix overflowing gutters?
Not always. Overflow may also be caused by debris, limited gutter capacity, improper pitch, restricted outlets, or concentrated roof runoff.
