Why Downspouts Fail and Cause Flooding
Frozen Downspouts in Cold Climates
Ice can block downspouts, so meltwater backs up and spills over the gutter edge.
Improper Downspout Extension Placement
Downspouts without extensions empty right at the foundation, soaking the soil and walls there.
Settling or Shifting Foundation
Settling soil can tilt downspouts and splash blocks so water runs back toward the house.
Incorrect Gutter Pitch or Slope
Gutters sloped the wrong way hold water or send it to the wrong downspout, causing overflow.
