Gutters and Roof Drainage

Downspouts and Drainage Extensions

Downspout additions, repairs and extensions that carry roof water well away from the foundation, plus buried drain connections.

A gutter is only as good as the place its water goes. Downspouts that drain right beside the foundation can soak the soil, erode landscaping and contribute to basement and crawl space moisture. Owners in Nashville ask us to add downspouts, extend them and connect them to drains to protect their homes.

We start with a Free Estimate and walk the property in dry weather, noting where downspouts discharge and how the ground slopes. We install or relocate downspouts, add elbows and extensions, set splash blocks and, where appropriate, tie downspouts into buried drainage pipe that carries water to a safe outlet. We check local rules on discharge, avoid sending water onto neighboring properties and test the system with water. Think about how you use the yard when planning extensions. A bright flexible pipe in the middle of a lawn is not everyone's idea of landscaping, so we discuss low-profile options, buried lines and attractive outlets such as stone pads or pop-up emitters. The best system moves water reliably and fits the way you live in your yard.

Water away from the house

Extensions discharge water several feet from the foundation, where it can soak into the yard.

Buried drains where needed

Buried pipe can carry water to a daylight outlet or an approved connection.

Respect neighbors

Water is directed so it does not cause problems for adjacent properties.

Tested system

We run water to verify flow and fix leaks and clogs.
