Don't Let Your Downspouts Become Drain Demons! Gutter Splash Woes Exposed!

Hey homeowners, hold onto your rain hats! This short video tackles a common gutter mistake that can unleash a torrent of problems on your beautiful abode. I'm talking about letting downspout water splash freely – a seemingly harmless choice with disastrous consequences. Let me, a seasoned contractor, explain why you should absolutely avoid this soggy sin at all costs!

The Splash Zone of Doom:

Imagine your downspout spewing rainwater like a garden hose gone rogue. That's what happens when you neglect proper drainage. The water explodes outward, creating a "splash zone" of misery:

Mold & Mildew Mayhem: Moisture dances on your house walls, a welcome mat for mold and mildew, those notorious party poopers of aesthetics and health.

Mozzie Mosh Pits: Standing water becomes a breeding ground for pesky mosquitoes, turning your yard into an itchy battlefield.

Foundation Erosion Nightmare: The splashing torrent claws away at the soil around your foundation, weakening its defenses and inviting water into your precious basement.

Ditch the Splash, Embrace the Stream:

So, what's the alternative? Simple – direct that downspout water away from your house! Don't let it become a chaotic cannon. Channel it gracefully like a controlled stream with these options:

Extend the downspout: Add a length of pipe that directs water away from your foundation and into a drain, garden, or designated area.

Catch basins & drainage pipes: Invest in the French Drain Man Leaf Filter and Downspout Cleanout and catch basin connected to a drainage pipe that whisks water away from your home.

French drain magic: Consider installing a French drain system around your foundation, capturing and draining water before it can threaten your walls.

Bonus Tip: Avoid "splash blocks" like the plague! These misnamed squares do nothing but spread the watery wrath wider. Trust me, your foundation will thank you for skipping this useless gadget.

Don't Be a Splash Sinner:

Remember, letting downspout water splash is like inviting trouble to a dinner party. You'll end up with unwanted guests like mold, mosquitos, and foundation woes. Take control of your drainage destiny! Implement these tips, spread the word, and join the fight against splash zone tyranny!
