Gutter Drainage
Gutter Drainage
If you’ve reached this page, then you obviously want your property to look its best. Many people have tried to keep an exceptional looking lawn, but seem to have no luck due to either too little water, or even worse, too much water. If you don’t have proper gutter drainage in your yard, then all it takes is one heavy downpour, and your landscaping could be ruined, the exterior of your home could be damaged, and in the most severe situations, the foundation could undergo damage as well.
Along with that, because Oklahoma typically has clay soil, it will become so dense that water won’t be able to move through, creating the perfect conditions for standing water, increasing the risk for property damage.
Here at Rain Guard, our goal is to do everything we can to create gutter drainage and get the unwanted water away from your property. That’s why our professional guttering team has come up with multiple gutter drainage solutions that are both functional and appealing to look at.

Downspouts
Downspouts are the vertical pipe that is attached to the gutter and extends all the way to the ground. It has the purpose of leading the water away from your home or business and preventing rainwater damage that could potentially cost thousands of dollars. You can see why the right downspout is crucial in the gutter system. If your downspout isn’t working efficiently then it won’t matter if your gutters are in good shape or not, because the two work together.
When we install downspout pipes, we take into consideration the surface area of your roof and the amount of rainwater that could potentially be caught by the gutter system to make sure you get the appropriate size downspout. There should be one downspout for every 30 or 40 feet of gutter. They should be located at the downward part of the gutter slope, away from the driveway, electrical box, water meter, and other features that need to be protected from water. Having functional and efficient gutters are just part of a proper gutter drainage system. Having the appropriate downspout is the second part of a proper gutter drainage system because without one, the gutters won’t be able to fulfill their job appropriately.
Rain Chains
Rain Chains are very similar to downspouts as far as in the function of gutter drainage of rainwater. They differ in the way that rain chains are an eye-catching and functional alternative to your typical downspout. They break the fall of the rainwater and visibly guide the rainwater down to the ground. The rainwater can be captured in a basin or even a decorative rain barrel that stores and reuses the rainwater to water your yard. If you prefer not to have a downspout with your gutters or simply want to add that extra detail to your yard, then take a look at our wide selection of rain chains that we have available. We have many options that are sure to match your specific house or business décor.
Here at Rain Guard, we make sure that your downspout connection and rain chains are top quality in order to prevent leaks or clogs & provide proper gutter drainage. Give us a call to request a free gutter estimate about what we can do for your gutter drainage, downspout and rain chain systems.

French Drains
French Drains are sometimes referred to as “fancy drains”. French Drains are just like underground drains, but have gravel covering the part above ground rather than being completely buried. These types of drains typically work best for buildings that are low to the ground and often have standing water issues. Just like gutters control the flow of water at the top of the home or building, French Drains control the flow of water at the ground level, draining all the excess water away from the structure, and completing the gutter drainage system.
Underground Drains
Having properly installed gutters and downspouts are essential to creating a safer home/building. However, some people don’t like how the downspout pipe looks lying across the grass or other yard features because it is not a pretty sight and a hassle to have to move out of the way. That’s why Rain Guard offers underground gutter drainage as a way to disperse the rainwater and direct it away from your home or business, all while maintaining the desired appearance of your home or business.
Our underground drain systems will complete your gutter system. A lot of rainwater will be moving off your roof, through your seamless gutters and down your properly installed downspout, and you do not want that rainwater just sitting by your house. If you are thinking about getting an underground gutter drainage system, then it’s crucial that you get it done professionally because there are several things that could go wrong if installed incorrectly. For example, our professionals here at Rain Guard take into consideration underground power lines, sprinkler systems, as well as cement or brick walkways which all determine how the gutter drainage should be properly installed.
Every gutter drainage situation is different which is why here at Rain Guard, we treat each and every gutter project with care, making sure the gutter installation & gutter drainage project is done right the first time.
