What Are Downspout Extensions and Why Do You Need Them?

Your gutters collect the water, and your downspouts bring it to the ground. But if the water pools right at the base of your house, the system has failed.

Protecting the Foundation

Downspout extensions carry the water away from your home's foundation. Without them, water can erode the soil around your house and seep into the foundation walls.

Types of Extensions

There are flexible extensions, rigid pipes, and even underground drainage systems. A professional can help you determine the best solution for your landscape.
