Gutter Downspout Problems That we Fix:

Leaking downspout fittings
Broken and disconnected downspout extension
Downspout draining against or too close to foundation
Downspouts draining on land that is not properly graded away from the house

One of the main reasons for a wet leaky basement and very common problem throughout Albany, Schenectady, and Saratoga areas are gutter downspouts that are not functioning properly. Often, the downspout extension is broken, leaking or not extended away from the house far enough. Then there are the downspouts that are extending away from the house but the land around the house is not graded properly. If the grading is pitching toward the house and not away, it causes the rainwater from the roof to come out the downspouts and drain against the foundation walls. This leads to basement floors and walls leaking water, foundation cracks, and concrete damage.

DAmage That Downspout Water Can Cause:

Cracks in foundation near downspout extension
Depressions and low spots against the foundation near downspouts areas
Water leaking inside the basement, specific to where there are downspouts on the outside of the wall
Leaky basements and foundations only when it rains heavy or, worse case scenerio, leaking everytime it is raining

Foundation Crack from Downspout Extension Draining Water Too Close to the House
