What are downspouts?


Downspouts are the pipes that are buried in the ground that take away the water from your roof and gutters.

Many downspouts also take away the water from a garage drain or a sump pump in a basement or crawl space. The main purpose is to carry the water from the house to the street where it will ultimately end up in a storm sewer. Some downspout drains will come out to a hole in the curb or tie in directly to a storm sewer.
