Underground routing of roof drainage away from foundations and landscaping to prevent water damage, erosion, and maintain your property's appearance.
Schedule Free EvaluationBuried downspouts (also called underground downspouts) are drainage systems that route roof runoff from gutters underground, moving water away from your foundation through buried pipes instead of surface discharge.
These systems connect directly to your existing downspouts and channel water through underground virgin HDPE commercial grade drainage pipe to a safe discharge location—typically a pop-up emitter in your yard or connection to a storm drain system.
Buried downspouts eliminate visible drainage issues near your home's perimeter, prevent soil erosion around foundations, and maintain clean, functional landscaping.
Routes large volumes of roof runoff far from your foundation, preventing water intrusion, soil saturation, and hydrostatic pressure that causes foundation damage.
Eliminates concentrated water discharge that creates erosion channels, soil washout, and damage to landscaping, mulch beds, and hardscapes.
No visible splash blocks, extensions, or water channels near your home. Maintains clean, professional curb appeal and usable outdoor space.
No tripping hazards from surface extensions. Easy mowing, no water pooling near walkways, and eliminates muddy areas around your home.
Assess property grade, identify optimal routing path for buried lines, and determine best discharge location—pop-up emitter, storm connection, or daylight discharge.
Professional sod cutter preserves existing grass. Excavate trench (12-18 inches deep) from downspouts to discharge point with engineered 2% slope for optimal drainage.
Install virgin HDPE commercial grade drainage pipe with debris filters at downspout connections. Add cleanout access points for maintenance. Install pop-up emitter or connect to discharge system.
Backfill trench and compact soil properly. Replace original sod to minimize landscape impact. Test system with water to verify proper flow and discharge.
Double the industry minimum grade ensures superior water flow during heavy rain, prevents standing water in pipes, and eliminates freeze risk.
Virgin HDPE commercial grade drainage pipe (not corrugated), professional debris filters, durable pop-up emitters, and proper fittings for long-lasting, trouble-free performance.
