Water management around your home is one of the most critical aspects of maintaining a stable foundation and protecting your property. Poor downspout drainage can lead to serious issues, including soil erosion, basement flooding, and even foundation damage. At Reynolds Contracting, we understand the importance of proper downspout drainage. Our team specializes in effective water management solutions, ensuring that your home stays dry and structurally sound for years to come.
Why Downspout Drainage Matters
When rainwater runs off your roof, it needs to be directed away from your home efficiently. Without proper drainage, water can pool around the foundation, seeping into the ground and causing shifting, cracking, or settlement over time. This excess moisture can also lead to mold growth and landscape deterioration, further impacting the health of your home and yard.
Signs of Poor Downspout Drainage
If you notice any of the following issues, your downspout drainage system may not be working effectively:
- Pooling water near your foundation
- Soil erosion or washed-out landscaping
- Basement leaks or water stains
- Cracks in your foundation walls
- Gutter overflow during rainstorms
How Reynolds Contracting Can Help
With years of experience in drainage solutions and foundation repair, Reynolds Contracting offers expert services to correct and prevent downspout drainage issues. Our team will assess your property’s unique needs and design a system that properly diverts water away from your home. We recently completed a downspout drainage project that involved extensive excavation and installation of high-quality drainage solutions. Our team began by excavating the berm bushels and removing the old concrete sidewalk. We then excavated a trench at the front of the house to install a 6” SDR35 downspout drain pipe.
Next, the team continued installing the 6” SDR35 downspout drain pipe and excavated a trench for the footer drain at the back corner of the house. To further improve drainage, we excavated a swell in the front yard, continued trench excavation for the footer drain, and installed a peanut pipe, hydro way, and drain blanket.
As the final step, we seeded and applied straw to both the front and backyard to ensure proper erosion control and restore the landscape.
