General rule: one downspout per 40 linear feet of gutter for 5" systems, 50 ft for 6" systems. Larger rooflines and steep pitches need more. ### Should I bury my downspouts? If your yard slopes toward the house or you've had basement water issues, yes. Underground drainage with is far more effective than surface splash blocks. ### What size downspouts do I need? Most KC homes need 2x3" downspouts. Homes over 2,500 sq ft of roofline benefit from 3x4" oversized downspouts that handle 75% more water. ### Can you reroute existing downspouts? Yes. If a downspout is in a bad spot (against a foundation, near a walkway), we can reroute it to a better location. ### Do downspouts freeze in winter? Properly pitched and properly sized downspouts shouldn't. If yours freezes regularly, the drainage is inadequate. Other Services ## Everything else we do for KC homeowners.
