Gutter Downspout Extensions - Keep the Water Away!

If your gutters aren't installed properly or don't have the correct angle away from your home, you could have problems with overflow and leaks. A simple extension added to your downspout is a great way to make sure that roof water is kept far away from your home. 

 

Luckily, Mid-State Basement Systems provides an easy and effective solution for this problem. Our downspout extensions ensure that your gutters move water away from your home, protecting your basement from leaks caused by overflowing gutters. When your gutters discharge water next to your foundation, much of it can seep directly into the soil around your home. This can significantly add to basement leaking, and it can even contribute to foundation issues. By installing any combination of our downspout extensions on your gutters, this problem can be averted.  Consider our LawnScape Outlet as an underground extension to your downspouts. Its green color blends in with your lawn and lawn mower traffic won't hurt it. A buried pipe directs water away from your home and onto the surface through the special LawnScape outlet. The lid comes off easy for cleaning.

 

Installation of our RainChute and RainChute EZ is fast an easy, this project is usually complete within 15-30 minutes. A LawnScape installation takes less than an hour. A quick fix to a potentially very bothersome flooded basement. These are great options to consider when preparing your home for the big winter melt and April showers.
