The first step in diverting water away from this home's foundation by installing buried downspouts is to create a pathway for the discharge line extensions.
This particular buried downspout install required a pathway through a cement walkway. So, we removed some concrete from the slab so that the pipe extension could fit through.
When we have to remove a portion of concrete to install the buried downspout, we replace and restore any and all disturbed areas - the concrete, the landscaping, all of it!
The discharge lines are extended and in position, and our patented LawnScape outlet is attached at the end. The subtle design of the LawnScape outlet blends in with landscaping and prevents clogging.
The last and final step is to burry the downspouts and call it a day! Now, instead of water being dumped directly onto the foundational soils, the gutter discharge lines will divert water to a safe distance away - keeping the surrounding soils dry and strong!
