Downspout Drainage Connection.
Downspout Drainage Connection – Protect Your Foundation from Roof Runoff.
One of the most overlooked causes of foundation water issues is improper downspout discharge.
During heavy rain, your roof can shed hundreds to thousands of gallons of water in a short period of time. If that water is released directly at the base of the home, it saturates the soil and creates hydrostatic pressure against the foundation.
Over time, this leads to:
• Foundation cracking
• Water intrusion
• Soil settlement
• Mold and moisture issues.
A proper downspout drainage connection routes roof water into an underground drainage system, safely moving it away from the structure to a controlled discharge point.
At Ace 1 Drainage & Foundation Waterproofing, we install dedicated downspout lines that:
• Prevent water buildup at the foundation
• Integrate with French drains and catch basin systems
• Handle high-volume stormwater flow
• Protect long-term structural integrity
If your downspouts are dumping water next to your home, the problem will continue to worsen over time.
