If you have blocked gutters or poorly placed downspouts, you may experience severe damage to your South Hills home. Our team specializes in downspout drainage solutions to help remedy this issue.

For downspouts that are too close to your home’s foundation, we can install a downspout extension to direct the water away from your home and to the proper drainage. We recommend that your downspouts drain at least 10 feet from the foundation.

Once the downspout extension is placed, it will be buried 5-6 inches below your yard’s surface. Our expert team will evaluate your yard, and based on the grade of the property; we may recommend installing more than 10 feet of downspout extensions. Twenty feet of downspout extensions is recommended if your property can accommodate it.

With an exterior french drain, we install a perforated pipe filled with gravel into a trench. This pipe works to alleviate water pressure by collecting the runoff and directing it away from your home’s foundation.

These can be installed around the perimeter of your home or behind a retaining wall to help them maintain their structural integrity. South Hills homeowners who reside on a hill or slope will have an exterior french drain that relies on gravity to work, whereas those who don’t will need a sump pump to carry the water away.

If you have noticed that your basement is flooding on a regular basis or you have heavy pooling in your yard, these are signs that you have poor soil drainage and require an exterior french drain.
