Downspout Extensions

If your home has foundation cracks and chips, it's likely that they are a result of water damage from water run-off from your gutters. With a proper gutter system and downspout extensions, water will be appropriately directed away from your home and away from your foundation. The water is directed a safe distance out from your home through the downspout extensions. This means that there won't be any more damage to your foundations due to water run-off.

Water run-off and damaged foundations are a major cause of why water starts seeping into the area underneath your home. That's because the water goes right alongside your foundation and seeps into your crawl space or basement. All downspouts should pour that water at least five feet away from your home's foundation. If that's not occurring, then your home needs the help of downspout extensions.
