Loose downspouts
When straps, brackets, or screws fail, the downspout pulls away from the wall and dumps water directly against the siding and foundation. We re-secure or replace fasteners with proper anchors for a lasting hold.

Common Issues
Downspout problems we fix every day
A downspout is only as good as its path. When it fails, water ends up exactly where it shouldn't — next to your foundation.
Detached elbows
Elbows at the gutter outlet or ground level often separate from expansion, impact, or worn sealant. We reconnect or replace elbows with sealed, sloped fittings so water flows without leaking.
Clogs
Leaves, shingle grit, and debris pack into elbows and underground drains, causing overflows, gutter backups, and fascia rot. We clear the full run, flush it clean, and recommend guards if clogs keep coming back.
Crushed sections
Ladders, fallen branches, or accidental impact can crush a downspout and restrict or stop water flow. We replace damaged sections with matching material and restore the full drainage path.
Rust & corrosion
Older steel downspouts rust from the inside out, creating pinhole leaks that stain siding and soak the foundation. We replace rusted runs with durable aluminum or coated options that won't corrode.
Leaks & seams
Leaks at seams, joints, or screw holes allow water to run behind the downspout and onto the wall. We reseal joints, patch small holes, or replace failing sections to keep the water inside the pipe.
Improper drainage
A downspout that ends too close to the house or discharges toward the foundation causes pooling and hydrostatic pressure. We add extensions, splash blocks, or underground drains to move water safely away.
Water pooling near foundations
Puddles after every rain mean water is collecting next to your foundation instead of draining away. This is one of the most important issues to fix before cracks, settling, or basement moisture develop.
Repair vs Replacement
Fix it now — or replace it once
We diagnose the real problem and recommend the option that saves you money and protects your home over the long term.
When repair makes sense
Loose brackets, detached elbows, small clogs, isolated leaks, and minor dents are usually quick, cost-effective repairs. Fixing these early prevents larger damage and extends the life of your existing system.
When repair is a temporary fix
If a downspout has multiple rust spots, repeated dents, or the wrong size for your roof, patching may only buy a short time. We tell you honestly when a repair is likely to need follow-up work.
When replacement is smarter
Crushed, heavily corroded, undersized, or poorly routed downspouts are usually cheaper to replace once than to keep repairing. Replacement also gives you the chance to add extensions or underground drainage.
Warning Signs
Don't wait for foundation damage
Catching a downspout problem early is the difference between a quick repair and a foundation repair bill. Call us if you notice any of these signs.
- Water overflows from gutters during light or moderate rain.
- No water exits a downspout outlet while other outlets flow.
- The downspout is pulling away from the wall or sagging.
- You see rust stains, peeling paint, or mildew on siding.
- Water pools near the foundation after every storm.
- You notice cracks in sidewalks, patios, or the foundation.
Our Process
How we repair your downspouts
From inspection to final test, we make sure every downspout carries water safely away from your home.
Inspect the system
We check every downspout, elbow, strap, and discharge point to identify what's loose, clogged, leaking, or damaged and whether drainage is affecting your foundation.
Clear & repair
We remove blockages, reattach loose runs, seal leaks, replace damaged elbows, and repair any crushed or rusted sections with professional-grade materials.
Improve drainage
If water is pooling near the foundation, we add extensions, splash blocks, or underground drain connections to carry water to a safe discharge point.
Test & clean up
We run water through the system to verify every downspout drains freely, check the discharge location, and leave the job site clean.
