Downspouts & Extensions in Lexington, MO

Most foundation water problems in Lexington aren't caused by failing gutters — they're caused by undersized or poorly-routed downspouts. We add capacity, reroute discharge, and install extensions or underground drainage that actually moves water away from your foundation.

FAQs

Downspouts & Extensions in Lexington — common questions

Why do I have basement water problems in Lexington?

Usually because downspouts dump water within 3 feet of the foundation. Lexington 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 Lexington home have?

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

Should I bury my downspouts underground?

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

How much does it cost to add a downspout in Lexington?

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