Gutter DOWNSPOUTS & LEADERS
NEW GUTTER DOWNSPOUTS
Should I Clean My Downspouts?
If your property has faulty downspouts, there are potential issues that you should be aware of. For those homes with basements, you might find yourself dealing with water leaking into your basement because of the fact the downspouts aren’t functioning correctly. Water can easily seep through the foundation and into the basement if water happens to pool up in one area because of failing downspouts. Another danger from faulty downspouts that you should be aware of is yard erosion. If the downspouts aren’t properly pushing the water away from the foundation of your home, water will often collect in one specific area. When water sits in one place for an extended period of time, it can cause the yard to erode. The quicker you let our team of gutter experts repair or replace your gutter downspouts, the less likely you’ll have to deal with these potential dangers.
While your gutter downspouts may not be something that you think is very important for the overall health of your home, you may change your mind when you see the damage that can occur when downspouts fail. The truth is that gutter downspouts are extremely important.

Do I Need Downspout Cleaning?
Do I Need Standard Gutter Downspouts?

About Eave Downspouts
As the name suggests, your downspout’s main purpose is to serve as a channel through which water can be diverted from the gutter’s edge and safely discharged from your property. There are three main components of a downspout: 1) the spout itself. 2) A support arm (or elbows) and 3) a splash block to keep water away from foundation walls.
Some gutters and downspout contractors choose to place two or more elbows in line with one another when installing the downspouts near the foundation of a house to accomplish three things: Allow for more flexibility in influencing the direction in which water flows out of the downspout. Boost strength and reduce wear and tear on both elbows and spouts themselves, especially when it’s windy outside. Keep water away from your foundation walls. The additional elbow keeps the flow of water away from your foundation.
You can purchase elbows in various angles to be used with your downspouts based on the specific direction the downspouts face and how far out they protrude. They come in different sizes, too. So it may be possible for you to use less than two depending on the amount of elbow you require.
About Vertical Downspouts
Vertical downspouts are generally used when gutters are installed on two-story houses. They offer an easy way to rid of any water collecting in them. If you’re not careful, however, vertical downspouts can end up working against you. This is because if the water ever freezes, it can expand and cause your gutters to fall away from your house or even damage the gutter supports themselves. It’s one of the big reasons why many experts recommend avoiding vertical downspouts on houses with steep roofs when using metal gutters.
About Gable End Downspouts
Placing one end of the downspout on the gable end of your house ensures that water will flow out of it in an unobstructed way. It also allows all debris collected inside the gutter to be deposited into the ground, preventing clogging and further damage to either your gutters and downspout.
Are Gutter Downspouts Important?
While often overlooked, your gutters and downspouts are among the most important parts of your home or business. It’s their job to safely direct water and falling debris off your roof and away from your structure’s walls and foundation.
