Downspout Extensions - Keep Water Away From The Foundation
Having properly-working gutters to carry runoff water away from your home is very important in maintaining your foundation's integrity. But even the best gutter system won't accomplish its goal if the water pours out of the downspout next to the base of the home.
That's why gutter downspout extensions are sometimes necessary. Affixing these products onto the ends of your downspouts can help guide the water to a spot where it won't pool near your foundation. There are plenty of different types of downspout extensions that are available.

Why have downspout extensions installed on your home?
When downspouts are effective and properly installed by your trusted contractor in Kansas, they work hard to keep your property dry and help you avoid issues with moisture. But what exactly are downspouts? Downspouts are simply sections of enclosed gutter pipe that extend from the roof of your home to the base of your home.
From there, downspout extensions attach to the end of downspouts to redirect water away from your foundation, helping prevent costly water damage and all sorts of other issues, including the following:
- Soil erosion
- Cracks in sidewalks
- Mold & mildew
- Pooling water near your foundation
- Damaged landscaping
An effective downspout extension system is essential to maintaining the health, safety, and functionality of your entire property--from your foundation to your front lawn. Don't go another day dealing with a dysfunctional or nonexistent downspout extension system!
