Professional Gutter Systems & Water Management to Keep Your Home Dry
Uncontrolled water is one of the biggest threats to your foundation. Our professional water redirection and gutter services are designed to guide rainwater away from your structure, protecting your home from foundation damage, erosion, basement leaks, and costly repairs.
What Is Water Redirection and Gutter Management?
Definition: Water redirection is the process of guiding rainwater or runoff away from your home using gutters, downspouts, extensions, drains, and landscape grading. A proper system ensures that water doesn’t pool near your foundation or seep into your basement.
Why It Matters: When water isn’t effectively diverted, it can lead to erosion, soil saturation, and hydrostatic pressure against your home’s foundation walls — increasing the risk of cracking, shifting, and mold growth.
What’s Included in Our Water Redirection Services
- Gutter Installation & Replacement: We install seamless gutter systems tailored to your roofline, ensuring reliable water capture and flow. We also replace aging or damaged gutters that can no longer protect your home.
- Downspout Design & Extensions: Properly placed downspouts move water away from your home. We install and extend downspouts to discharge water at a safe distance, reducing pooling and foundation pressure.
- Gutter Cleaning & Maintenance: Leaves and debris clog gutters quickly, especially in the fall. We offer routine cleanouts and maintenance plans to ensure your system flows freely year-round.
- Gutter Repair: If your gutters are sagging, leaking, or pulling away from your home, we can resecure, reseal, or replace key sections to keep things watertight.
- Underground Drainage Connections: We connect downspouts to French drains, catch basins, or stormwater outlets to keep water away from your foundation underground.
- Water Flow Evaluation: Our team inspects your property to identify low areas, pooling zones, and improper slope that may cause drainage issues — and we recommend fixes tailored to your layout.
Water Redirection Techniques We Use
- Grading Adjustments: We create gentle slopes in the landscape to push water away naturally.
- Downspout Extensions: Move water 4–10 feet away from the home to prevent pooling.
- French Drains: Subsurface gravel trenches with perforated piping to catch and redirect water.
- Swales: Shallow, vegetated ditches that guide water across your property.
- Rain Gardens: Beautifully designed areas that naturally soak up and filter runoff.
