Downspout extensions attach to your gutters and carry rainwater 6–10 feet from your foundation. Flexible tubing, rigid pipes, or splash blocks can be used depending on your property, helping to keep basements dry and reduce pressure on the foundation. Key benefits include:
Keep Your Basement Dry
Stop water buildup that causes leaks or damp floors.
Foundation Stability
Reduce soil erosion and pressure on foundation walls.
Prevent Mold & Mildew
Control moisture and support healthier indoor air.
Affordable & Long-Lasting
Low-cost, effective solutions with long-term results.
Signs Its Time for Downspout Extensions
If your home shows signs of moisture or foundation issues, downspout extensions can help protect your basement. Watch for these warning signs:
- Water pooling near your foundation: Puddles that linger after rain can indicate poor drainage.
- Damp or musty basement smells: Persistent odors may signal moisture buildup or mold growth.
- Cracks in walls or floors: Foundation pressure from water can lead to visible cracks.
- Soil erosion or uneven ground: Shifting soil around your home shows water is not draining properly.
Keep Your Downspout Extensions Working Year-Round
Keeping your downspout extensions in good shape protects your basement all year. Inspect them at least twice a year, especially in spring and fall. Remove leaves, sticks, and debris that could block water flow.
Check that extensions stay angled properly to carry water away from your foundation. Look for cracks, loose connections, or damaged sections, and replace or adjust them as needed. Regular maintenance keeps your basement dry, prevents soil erosion, and helps your waterproofing system last longer.
