Rain gutters collect water falling over the entire surface area of your roof, channel it through downspouts and deposit it at concentrated areas close to your home. This rainwater then soaks into the ground and will collect near the base of your home in the soil beneath your home’s foundation. When protecting the value and usability of your property from water damage our goal is to capture excess water with a French Drain system, move it away from your home and then disperse it in a safe manner. If you do not immediately address water drainage issues you expose yourself to property damage, reduced functionality of your yard, health issues and “surprise” repair costs later. We have recently became a certified landscape drainage contractor for storm water management. The photos below show the steps that are needed to safely remove storm water with a French Drain system from your downspouts and away from your homes foundation. Have us come out and give you a free estimate.

Careful, folks. If your yard is graded properly, and your downspouts and roof gutters are installed properly, they are not contributing to a serious drainage problem, they are helping you avoid a serious drainage problem.
Of course you may have a drainage problem. Just make sure you know why before jumping to any conclusions.
