Downspouts Columbus Ohio

Downspouts are an extremely important part of your gutter system. Rainwater travels down from the gutters into the downspouts, which then channel it away from your home. When your downspouts are clean and free of clogs, and are properly installed, they will protect your home’s foundation from water damage. Clogs or poor installation can cause water to pool at the bottom of the downspout and keep the water close to your home. Over time, this can erode your soil, flood your basement, and cause cracks to start forming in your home’s foundation.

Water damage is common, which is why it’s so important to make sure your gutters and downspouts are functioning properly. If they aren’t, you could be looking at damage to your siding in addition to your roof and foundation, especially if your siding is a natural constituent like wood or stone. Overflowing gutters and non-functioning downspouts can cause water to flow down and causes damage to your basement and foundation over time.
