Downspouts are comprised of the piping that diverts rain water from the rain gutters down the house and eventually out and away from the foundation. Clogged downspouts can cause rain water to back up and flow over the edge of the gutters. This can cause damage to siding, foundations, landscape, and can even cause flooding in and around the house.
The downspouts are typically clogged at the top entrance with leaves, twigs, bird nests, pet toys, roof debris, pine needles, etc. Downspouts can also be clogged internally. Often times debris gets stuck at one of the elbows in the downspout and then starts to build up. Not only does this block the flow of rain water it can also cause permanent damage to the downspout. When the water and debris that is stuck inside the downspout freezes and then expands the downspout can split open or it can be rusted out do to years of debris sitting in there.
A far too typical issue that individuals face when they don’t keep their gutters and downspouts in good repair is damage to the foundation of their house. While there might not seem to be an obvious connection between the gutters in your house and your home’s foundation, there is a link that you actually ought to learn about. That link is easy, unchecked water will stream any place it wishes to. When it does that it can wind up in places where it really should not.
For example, if you live in a location with heavy rains, plus all of that water ends up seeping into the area around your property’s foundation, then the structure of your home could possibly become unsteady. You do not need to be a genius to realize that this is not a great thing, and it can suggest costly repair work.
