What is a downspout?
Gutter downspouts are an attachment fixed to the bottom of your gutters to direct the flow of rainwater to the most appropriate location - away from your foundation! Downspouts may also be called downspout pipes, water pipes, or something else depending on your Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan location.

Downspouts & extensions prevent gutter drainage issues:
-
Foundation damage - If gutter drainage isn't directed away from your home with downspouts, your home will show signs of foundation settlement, foundation cracks, sticking windows and doors, and other dangerous symptoms.
-
Poor indoor air quality - When moisture seeps into your basement or crawl space, the indoor air quality of your entire home is affected. Mold growth, musty smells, and other signs of lower indoor air quality occur.
-
Flooding - Downspouts will help protect your basement and crawl space from flooding during heavy rain. This will save you money, time, and stress spent on costly water damage repairs.
-
Water damage - Downspouts also move water away from your roof, siding, windows, door frames, and exterior paint, further protecting your home.
-
Harmful erosion - Pooled water can wreak havoc on your lawn and landscaping, decreasing curb appeal and home value.
