Rain Gutter Extensions

Rain Gutter Extensions Keep Water Problems Away

Water is the mortal enemy of solid home foundations everywhere.  Many homeowners battle water issues with their foundations, their landscaping, and their yards.  When a foundation begins to leak, the problem can quickly cause many dollars worth of damage, both to structures and belongings that may be affected.   Along with effective drain tiling and yard drainage, one of the best ways to prevent leakage problems in a foundation is to keep water as far away as possible from the foundation of a home or other building.  Rain gutter extensions are a vital part of this effort.

Rain gutters collect rainwater to keep it from running off of the roof, due to the slope of the roof, and pooling next to the home's foundation.  The water is collected in the gutter and then travels down the side of the home through what is known as a downspout.  The downspout then empties about a foot or so away from the foundation, usually.  Occasionally, however, that is not far enough away, and it is necessary to install rain gutter extensions on the end of the downspouts to keep the water farther away from the home.  Due to landscaping or yard grade, the water may still pool next to the building with a regular, non-extended downspout.  When water pools against a foundation, it is almost certain to leak.  Therefore, homeowners have a vested interest in paying attention to this problem and using gutter extensions.

Rain gutter extensions ensure that the water's run-off remains far from the foundation via a longer downspout that runs the water several feet away.  These extensions are usually a few feet long.  They are also used to keep water out of landscaped area in order to prevent erosion and overwatering of that area. Rain Gutter Extensions are readily available at many home stores; they can also be ordered online.  Standard metal or flexible extensions can be purchase for ten to fifteen dollars, making them one of the least expensive ways available to prevent and solve water problems.  Some of the extensions lie on top of the grass, while others are buried for several feet, moving water even farther away from the building.
