Why downspouts matter so much
A 2,000 square foot roof sheds over 1,000 gallons of water in a single inch of rain, and in East Texas we often get several inches at once. If each downspout empties onto a splash block next to the slab, that water soaks the clay right against your foundation. Underground downspout drainage solves that by connecting each downspout to solid pipe that carries the water well away from the house.
What the job includes
- Connecting downspouts to solid (not perforated) drain pipe
- Trenching the pipe with steady slope to an outlet
- Pop-up emitters, daylight outlets, or a dry well at the end
- Cleanouts so the line can be flushed if leaves get in
Downspout lines are often installed alongside a French drain, but should usually be kept in a separate pipe so roof water does not overload the drain.
