Downspout Repair

Serving Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, & Round Rock

Downspouts play a vital role in directing rainwater away from our homes, preventing water damage and foundation issues. 

How Downspouts Prevent Water Damage

1. Water Diversion: They redirect rainwater away from the foundation, preventing moisture buildup.
2. Foundation Protection: Excess water can cause cracks and erosion. Downspouts channel water away, preserving the structure.
3. Preventing Basement Flooding: Effective diversion reduces the risk of water seeping into basements or crawl spaces.
4. Soil Erosion Control: Downspouts prevent excessive water from eroding soil, avoiding foundation settlement.
5. Mold Prevention: By diverting water, downspouts help maintain a drier foundation, minimizing mold and mildew growth.
6. Landscaping Preservation: Proper water diversion protects delicate plants and maintains the property's aesthetics.

Our downspout experts can help you install, maintain, and inspect downspouts to safeguard your home. Prioritize their upkeep for long-term integrity and cost savings.

Components of a Downspout

A downspout assembly consists of several components and parts that work together to effectively divert rainwater away from the foundation. These include:

1. Downspout: The vertical pipe that connects the gutter system to the ground or drainage system.
2. Elbows: Angled fittings that allow the downspout to change direction, ensuring proper water flow.
3. Downspout Extensions: Additional lengths of downspout used to extend the reach of the downspout away from the foundation.
4. Downspout Brackets: Supports or straps that secure the downspout to the wall of the building.
5. Splash Blocks: Flat or sloped blocks placed at the end of the downspout to disperse and redirect water away from the foundation.
6. Downspout Connectors: Fittings used to join multiple sections of downspout together.
7. Outlets: Openings in the gutter system that connect the downspout to the gutter.
8. Strainers or Filters: Devices placed at the top of the downspout or gutter to prevent debris from entering and clogging the system.
9. Splash Guards: Attachments installed on the gutter system or downspout to reduce splashing and overflow during heavy rainfall.
10. Diverter Kits: Optional accessories that allow for diverting rainwater into rain barrels or other collection systems..
