Downspout Installation & Repair

Proper downspouts are essential for moving water away from your foundation. Gutterify offers downspout installation, repair, and extension services designed to prevent basement flooding and soil erosion.

We ensure every downspout is securely attached and clear of blockages. If water is pooling near your foundation, we can add extensions or splash blocks to direct it further away. For homes with drainage challenges, we also offer underground downspout connections that tie into your existing drainage system, keeping your yard dry and your basement protected.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Real stories from real homeowners who trusted us with their gutters.

Questions you might have

How far should downspouts extend from my foundation?

To properly protect your basement or crawl space from water damage, downspouts should extend at least 4 to 6 feet away from your foundation. If water is discharging too close to the house, it can pool against the basement walls, seep through cracks, or erode the soil supporting your foundation. We offer various extension options, from flexible vinyl elbows to rigid metal extensions and even underground drain connections, to ensure water is carried safely away from your home.

Why is my downspout clogged even though my gutters are clean?

Downspouts can become clogged even when your gutters appear clear because debris often settles in the vertical drop or at the elbow bends where the downspout meets the gutter. Seeds, small twigs, and shingle grit can wash down with rainwater and accumulate in these tight spaces, eventually forming a solid plug. During our service, we don't just check from the top—we flush each downspout with water and use specialized tools to break up clogs from ground level to ensure water is flowing freely all the way to the exit point.

Can you hide my downspouts underground?

Yes, we offer underground downspout extensions for homeowners who want a cleaner look or need to move water a long distance from the house. We can connect your downspout to a buried drainage pipe that carries water to the street, a dry well, or a drainage ditch. This keeps your yard free of visible extension hoses while effectively protecting your foundation. We use solid, perforated, or smooth-walled pipe depending on your specific drainage needs and ensure proper slope so water doesn't pool and freeze underground.

What is that splashing noise during a rainstorm?

That loud splashing or gushing sound usually means water is falling directly from the downspout outlet onto the ground or a hard surface like concrete. This can often be fixed by adding a downspout extension, a splash block, or a decorative rain chain. If the noise is coming from within the downspout itself, it could indicate a partial clog that is causing water to rush and tumble irregularly. We can diagnose the source of the noise and recommend a solution that keeps your home both dry and quiet.
