Underground Downspouts & Drainage
Protect your foundation by sending roof runoff away from the house through a buried drainage system.
Underground Downspouts & Drainage done right
A single inch of rain on an average roof sheds more than a thousand gallons of water, and your downspouts dump it all at a few points right next to your foundation. In North Georgia clay, that water has nowhere to go but down along your basement or crawl space walls.
PPS Waterproofing connects your downspouts to properly sloped underground pipe that carries water to a safe discharge point such as a pop-up emitter, daylight outlet or dry well. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent basement and crawl space water problems.
Why it matters
Protects your foundation
Moves water away before it can cause cracks, leaks or settling.
Prevents erosion
Ends washed-out beds and gullies under downspouts.
Reduces basement moisture
Less water against the foundation means less water inside.
Clean look
No more splash blocks or trip-hazard extensions across the yard.
What we install
Underground downspout lines
Solid pipe buried with consistent slope to carry roof water away.
