Also known as a downpipe or waterspout, gutter downspouts help to create a path from your gutter to the ground for water to flow properly. Without downspouts, rainwater would collect in your seamless gutters until it overflowed, which would eventually take a toll on your siding and roof.
Because the water travels in the enclosed path of the downspout, it not only moves water away from your home’s exterior but also prevents the water from eroding or otherwise damaging the foundation of your home.
If your gutter downspouts are no longer working properly, one heavy rainstorm is all it will take for rainwater to accumulate around the foundation of your home. When this happens, the soil can start to erode and there’s a risk of your basement flooding.
Beyond that, improperly working gutter downspouts can lead to increased moisture levels in your soil, which can cause your house to settle unevenly. In the worst cases, this can cause significant damage to your floors and walls.
By replacing your broken downspouts, you can have full confidence that rainwater will be redirected away from your house, so you don’t have to worry about your home’s structural integrity.
Since you’re not usually hanging around outside your home when it rains, you may not realize that your gutter downspouts are no longer working correctly. Fortunately, there are a few signs that indicate your downspouts need replacement. Keep an eye out for the following:
Whether you want to install a new gutter system or help protect your current gutters or downspouts, adding a Gutter Helmet system is a great idea. Installed over your gutters, the Gutter Helmet system helps to keep debris out of your gutters and, as a result, out of your downspouts.
This helps to reduce the risk of clogs that can impact your gutter system and gives your home extra protection against water damage.
For the best performance, we also recommend installing Helmet Heat to keep your gutters warm during the winter to help prevent ice dams, which can also pose a threat to your home.
