Professional Downspout & Gutter Drainage Across BC
Roof water discharged too close to the foundation is one of the most common causes of basement moisture in BC homes. Downspout drainage solutions include extending downspouts 6-10 feet from the foundation, connecting downspouts to buried drain lines that discharge at a safe location, and installing pop-up emitters for concealed discharge. Our service includes evaluation of your current downspout configuration, installation of extensions or buried drainage systems, and verification that roof water is directed well away from the building. Buried downspout drains should be inspected with CCTV if they are suspected of being clogged or damaged.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far should downspouts extend from the foundation?
Downspout extensions should discharge at least 6-10 feet from the foundation. Buried drainage systems can discharge further at a pop-up emitter or daylight location.
Are buried downspout drains reliable?
Yes, when properly installed with correct slope and connections. Over time they can clog, which is why periodic inspection and flushing is recommended.
