It may be a small upgrade but a gutter extension for your downspout can make a world of difference in preventing erosion of your topsoil and the be-all, end-all of a damaged home foundation. Downspout extensions serve to make your gutter system more efficient and effectively catapult rainwater at a minimum of ten feet away from your house so you won’t encounter water damage from a flash flood from a heavy rainstorm anytime soon. Your downspout outlet, however, is not foolproof as sometimes water can pool right underneath the downspout. A basic gutter system is composed of sectional or seamless troughs, downspouts, and gutter guards all held together by fasteners and serve as a watchdog or water-catching apparatus to collect any water and redirect it to your downspout outlet and expel it far away from your home.
