Why Do You Need a Properly Installed Downspout Drain?
A downspout is an essential part of your gutter system. It channels rainwater from your roof gutter to the ground or an underground drainage system. Without proper downspout drainage, water damage can occur, potentially damaging your foundation, basement, and landscaping. Here’s how a downspout drain helps:
- Prevents water damage to your foundation and basement.
- Directs rainwater runoff away from your property.
- Reduces flooding or water accumulation in your yard.
- Helps protect your landscaping and soil from erosion.
