French Drain & Downspout Extensions

Downspouts

Downspout Extensions: Rain gutters and downspouts provide an efficient first step in controlling roof runoff. But if the rain or melted snow channeled off the roof isn't carried far enough away from the house, it will collect against the foundation wall or footing and seep into your basement or crawl space. A French drain is a drainage system that allows water to filter down through several inches of gravel, into a pipe and flow away from your property.
