Downspouts & Drainage

Get the water away from the house.

Gutters catch the water. Downspouts decide where it goes. Too few downspouts, or ones that empty right at the foundation, can leave puddles by the slab, washed-out beds and damp crawl spaces.

We look at how water leaves your roof and where it lands, then add or reroute downspouts and extensions so it drains away from the house.

What's included

  • Added downspouts where runs are overloaded
  • Larger downspouts for heavy-flow areas
  • Extensions that carry water away from the foundation
  • Downspouts routed around walkways, patios and doors
  • Neat runs, fastened tight to the house

Why Live Oak

Where the water lands matters.

Many Lowcountry lots are flat, so water that lands next to the house tends to stay there.

Questions

Good questions.

How many downspouts do I need?

It depends on the size and pitch of your roof and where the valleys send water. Long or heavily loaded runs often need more than one. We will lay it out at the estimate.

Can you add downspouts to my existing gutters?

Yes. Adding a downspout is often the simplest fix for a gutter that overflows in one spot.

What size downspouts do you use?

Standard 2×3″ or larger 3×4″ downspouts. Larger downspouts move more water and clog less, so we recommend them where a lot of roof drains to one spot.

Why is water pooling near my foundation?

Usually because downspouts empty right next to the house. Extensions or rerouting can move that water away.
