Downspouts in Hollywood, FLSend the water somewhere else.
We add, move and clear downspouts, and fit elbows and extensions so roof water lands well away from the walls and the foundation.
Downspouts
A gutter is only as good as where it sends the water. One downspout at the end of a long run has to carry everything that run collects, and in a heavy storm it can fall behind.
When water drops right at the wall, it splashes the siding, digs a trench in the soil and soaks in beside the foundation. A well-placed downspout and the right extension move that water away from the house.
Signs your downspouts need work
Gutters overflow on long runs
A long run with one outlet often spills over in a downpour. An extra downspout gives the water another way down.
Water pools by the foundation
Puddles or soggy ground at the base of a wall mean the downspout is dumping too close to the house.
Splash marks and bare soil
Dirt splashed up the wall, or a dug-out patch below the downspout, is erosion from water landing hard.
Water barely trickles out
If a downspout runs slow in a storm or not at all, it is clogged or bent and the gutter backs up behind it.

Hollywood & South Broward
Where the water goes matters here
South Florida storms drop a lot of water in a short time, and much of the ground is flat. Water that lands beside a wall has few places to go. Sending it out across the yard, away from the house, matters as much as the gutter above it.
Questions
Downspouts: common questions
How many downspouts does my house need?
It depends on how long the runs are and how much roof drains into them. Long runs often need more than one outlet. We look at the roofline and tell you what makes sense for your house.
Can the water go underground?
Ask us. Whether a buried line makes sense depends on your yard, the ground and where the water can drain. We will look at it with you.
Can you move a downspout?
Tell us where it drops now and where you would like the water to go. We will look at the roofline and the yard and tell you what will work and what will not.
