Downspouts
Rainwater Downspouts
By now you most likely know the importance of a gutter system and its functionality. A gutter system has two key components: the gutters themselves, and the downspout.
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 your 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 must work together.

Downspout Styles
There are two main styles of downspouts:
- Round
- Rectangular
The reason there are two main styles of downspouts is due to the two main styles of gutters. The style of downspout that would be best for you is based on the style of gutters that you have. A rounded downspout won’t work very well on a rectangular gutter system for obvious reasons. When our guttering team examines your gutter system, the representative will recommend the best type of downspout & downspout style that will work best with your guttering system and style of your home so that your gutters & downspouts are pleasing to look at while providing the proper water drainage

Know Our Process
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.
1. Evaluation
When you give us a call, we will schedule a time for one of our professionals to come to your home and evaluate the current situation of your gutters and downspouts for free.
2. Plan
Once our team has evaluated your property, we will then go over all the different options, and answer any questions or concerns you may have. This is also when we will schedule an appointment to put our plan into action.
3. Installation
When you are happy with our plan and we have an appointment scheduled, then we will continue with the new installation. We will dispose of any old, unrepairable downspouts and be sure to clean up after ourselves.
4. After Installation
After we install your downspout system, we will make sure that you are satisfied with our products. Make sure to ask us about our maintenance program that ensures your gutters and downspouts stay in tip top condition.
