Why Downspout Extensions Matter
Stop Foundation Damage Before It Starts
Every inch of rain can send thousands of gallons of water from your roof toward the base of your home. When downspouts discharge too close to the foundation, water can pool, increase hydrostatic pressure, seep into basements, erode soils, and stress footings. Over time, this leads to cracks, musty odors, mold growth, and costly structural repairs.
Properly engineered downspout extensions move roof runoff safely away from your foundation—typically 10 to 20 feet or more—so it disperses without harming your home or landscaping. By controlling slope, sealing connections, and discharging at the right location, an extension system reduces erosion, protects hardscapes, and preserves dry, healthy basements. We Keep it Dry.
Above-Ground, Buried, And Smart Drainage Add-Ons
Yard Drainage of Michigan designs systems that fit your site and budget, from simple above‑ground extensions to clean, buried piping. For long-term durability in four-season climates, we typically recommend buried extensions using rigid PVC or heavy-duty HDPE with smooth interiors for high flow and minimal clogging. Joints are sealed, slopes are set to maintain gravity flow, and outlets are chosen to match soil and site conditions.
Enhancements maximize protection and ease of use. Options include gutter filters and diverters to keep debris out, inline catch basins with removable baskets, clean-out ports for easy flushing, pop-up emitters or daylight terminations, dry-well integration where appropriate, and sump discharge tie-ins with check valves. Hinged or flip-up above‑ground ends are available where temporary routing is preferred.
Assessment, Engineering, And Warranty Protection
We start with a comprehensive assessment: measuring roof drainage areas, inspecting grading and soil conditions, and mapping ideal discharge points. Our team plans safe routes around utilities and roots, sets the proper slope with laser levels, selects pipe type and diameter, and specifies clean-outs and emitters for maintenance and performance. Every design aims to protect your foundation while keeping your yard neat and functional—We Keep it Dry.
Installation is meticulous and low-impact. We protect lawns and hardscapes, excavate precise trenches, bed and level the pipe, and use solvent-welded or gasketed, watertight connections. Discharge points are set to daylight or to pop-up emitters away from structures. After a full water test, we backfill in lifts, compact soil to reduce settling, and restore the surface so the system is effective and discreet.
You get long-term confidence with clear documentation and support. Lifetime warranties are available on installed extension piping and workmanship, and we provide maintenance guidance to keep flow unobstructed. Seasonal checks, occasional flushing via clean-outs, and routine gutter cleaning help your system perform for decades.
