Why Downspouts Fail and Cause Flooding
Improper Downspout Extension Placement
Downspouts without extensions empty right at the foundation, soaking the soil and walls there.
Frozen Downspouts in Cold Climates
Ice can block downspouts, so meltwater backs up and spills over the gutter edge.
Heavy Rainfall and Storm Events
Heavy storms send more roof water than clogged or small downspouts can carry.
Damaged or Disconnected Downspout Sections
Downspout sections that separate or crack let water pour out right next to the wall.
