Your downspouts are an essential part of your gutter system, so don’t put off servicing them!
While the gutter channels themselves are the stars of any gutter system, they’re not the only parts that matter. The downspouts also play a crucial role in directing water away from your foundation, preventing problems such as erosion, basement flooding, and landscape damage. If your downspouts aren’t doing their job properly, it can lead to costly water damage down the road. Thankfully, if you’re in the Sherrills Ford, North Carolina area, our team at TCB Construction can provide the effective services your downspouts need.
Downspouts are the vertical pipes that run from the bottom of your gutters, down the side of your home, to the ground. Their main job is to funnel water that collects in the gutters down from the roof and deposit it a safe distance away from your foundation. Without properly functioning downspouts, all the water your gutters collect would just pour straight down around your home. Downspouts are typically made from durable materials like aluminum, vinyl, or galvanized steel and come in different sizes and shapes, depending on the style of gutters you have.
There are a few red flags we suggest our customers look out for that indicate there is trouble with the downspouts. Some telltale signs include the following:
- Water pooling near the foundation
- Overflowing gutters
- Visible leaks or cracks in the downspouts
- Loose or disconnected downspouts
If your downspouts are exhibiting any of these problems, or you have any reason to suspect that they are not functioning the way that they should, our team is happy to take a look and determine how we can resolve the issue. We understand how essential a properly functioning gutter system is and how vital of a role your downspouts play, so rest assured that we’ll treat them with care and attentiveness to ensure your home is protected.
