Corrugated underground pipe is best. A splash pad is not sufficient. Water must be routed many feet away from the foundation.
Also be sure the ground slopes away from the house.
Nothing wrecks home foundations faster than lots of water washing away the ground in just one concentrated spot from a downspout every time it rains.

Hi everyone!
My wife and I have just purchase a courtyard villa in Lake Denham.
When the rain is heavy we notice it runs down and through the lanai screen.
We are thinking of installing some gutters around the side and back of the house.

Has anyone else recently done the same? If so what contractor did you use? Were you happy with their work? Anything we should be aware of, or contractors we should avoid? Etc. Finally, how much would this typically cost?

Appreciate everyone’s input and guidance.

Thanks,
John Russo
