Has anyone connected the gutter down spouts to under ground PVC pipes to disperse the water away from the house foundation? I did that in our current home and it works good here.

I think you can use 4" slotted drain hose backfilled with rock, but not pvc here.

It is called a french drain

Four of us in our Sanibel neighborhoord used Stipes last October. No complaints. Did and excellent job for us putting in 3 underground drains too. It cost us a little more since they had to dig under our rock and curbing landscape. Now we don't have a moat around our house when it rains!
