One Of The Most Common Causes Of Yard Drainage Problems

In heavy Texas rain, your roof can dump a surprising amount of water—and most of it comes out of the downspouts. If that runoff is pouring next to the foundation, across walkways, or into low spots, it can cause erosion, soggy lawns, washouts, and even long-term foundation risk. Downspout drainage routes that direct water to a safe discharge point to prevent damage to your yard.

Inspect The Runoff

❶ We identify where roof water is dumping and where it’s causing damage or pooling.

Choose The Route

❷ We plan the cleanest path to move water away from the home to a safe exit point.

Bury & Protect

❸ We install a protected drain line underground to prevent clogs, crushing, and washouts.

Test & Finish

Signs Your Downspouts Are Causing Damage

If you’ve ever watched rain pour off your roof, you’ve seen it — the downspout becomes a fire hose. Here are the most common warning signs.

  • Soil and mulch washing out near the downspout
  • A “trench” or rut forming where water runs
  • Water pooling near the home after storms
  • Soggy lawn areas that start right under a downspout
  • Splash marks and mud on the siding or brick
  • Water flowing across patios, driveways, or walkways
  • Downspouts dumping into rock/mulch that gets scattered

Our Downspout Drainage Method (Clean, Strong, And Built To Flow)

The difference between a quick fix and a real fix is the installation. We design downspout drainage systems to keep moving water for the long term.

  1. Confirm runoff volume and problem areas
  2. Choose the best discharge direction (street, curb, rear easement, approved area, etc.)
  3. Install a protected underground line (solid pipe where needed)
  4. Use proper fittings and transitions at the downspout
  5. Set depth and grade so it drains correctly
  6. Add protection at key points (cleanouts/pop-ups as needed)
  7. Backfill and restore the surface (sod/rock/mulch)
  8. Test water flow and final finish

How Downspout Drainage Works With Other Solutions

Downspout drainage is often the missing piece. It reduces the water load before it ever hits your yard — and it makes every other drainage solution work better.

  • Downspouts + catch basins: Great when runoff creates low spot pooling
  • Downspouts + French drain: Helps when soil stays wet near the home
  • Downspouts + grading: Stops erosion and redirects flow naturally
  • Downspouts + rock/mulch areas: Prevents washouts and keeps beds clean
  • Downspouts alone: Often enough when the main issue is roof runoff dumping too close
