When replacing the downspouts
on a building, you need to
determine how high up the gutter
is from the ground, and how far
away from the building you want
the water to be diverted. Most
downspouts come directly down
to the ground and the water is
then diverted through a curved
piece which only sends it about a
foot from the building. This
method works fine if the soil near
the building has a slope which will
direct the flow away, and keep it
from pooling around the
foundation of the building.
The right gutter and
downspout system plays a
vital role in keeping the
foundation of a house or
other building in good
shape. It can turn a water
guzzling family into an eco-
family with a surprisingly low
cost. Replacing those old
metal downspouts with new
PVC downspouts can make
a nice weekend project for
the DIY homeowner looking
for a way to improve their
home. New gutters and
downspouts will also
increase the value of the
real estate for later resale.
