FAQs

Downspouts & Extensions in Lee's Summit — common questions

Why do I have basement water problems in Lee's Summit?

Usually because downspouts dump water within 3 feet of the foundation. Lee's Summit soil holds water, and even properly-sized gutters can't help if discharge is wrong. We fix this for $400–$900 per run on average.

How many downspouts should my Lee's Summit home have?

Industry standard is one downspout for every 600–800 sq ft of roof area. Most Lee's Summit homes are short 1–2 drops, which is why gutters overflow during heavy rain.

Should I bury my downspouts underground?

On many Lee's Summit lots — yes. We use 4" smooth-wall PVC sloped to a 10–15 ft from the foundation. It's the cleanest solution and protects landscaping.

How much does it cost to add a downspout in Lee's Summit?

A new downspout drop typically runs $80–$180 installed. Add extensions or drainage runs depending on routing.
