What Are Downspout Drains?
Downspout drains receive the rainwater runoff from your roof and gutters. They open up around the base of your building and guide water away from it where they deposit the runoff at a downhill location. Even a light rainstorm can deposit thousands of gallons of water on your rooftop.
You need downspouts to keep that water from seeping into the foundation or puddling close to the exterior walls.
Why You Might Need a New Downspout Drain
Some homes come with present but inadequate downspout drainage. Others have old drains with clogs lodged deep inside of them. You’ll notice the following issues if you need new downspout drainage solutions:
Decreased grading quality
The dirt surrounding your home might look uneven and show signs of erosion.
Water puddles
Water pooling in the lowermost level of your building or around the bases of your exterior walls means rainwater is seeping into your home and infiltrating the foundation slab.
Water stains
Check your basement walls and the bottoms of your exterior walls for dark stains or discoloration. These aberrations mean excessive water is flowing near the bottom of your building.
Sagging gutters
Signs of poor downspout drainage come from above, too. Your gutters may sag as excessive water collects.
When Does Your Downspout Need Repair?
At Expert Irrigation & Outdoor Lighting, we repair downspout drains by dislodging clogs and repairing holes or dirt displacement caused by erosion. You need these drainage solutions when you discover noticeable debris buildup, cracks, or chips in the drain pipe materials.
Your yard is an investment that deserves year-round care. Our Annual Maintenance services ensure that your outdoor spaces stay healthy, vibrant, and beautifully maintained every season, with no missed steps.
What About Sump Pump Drains?
Sump pumps are devices that suck up and pump water out of a basement or crawlspace. A permeable net or cage surrounds them to keep debris out while allowing water to flow in. Each sump pump has its own drainage system to guide the water that would otherwise flood the lowermost building level.
Installing a Drain for Your Sump Pump
After you purchase and install your pump, contact us about designing a drain system for the device. We can create a design that encourages water retention by directing the gray water to a holding tank or garden. You can also request a traditional design that deposits the water away from the building.
Why a Sump Pump Drain Might Need Professional Help
Sump pumps and their drainage solutions need regular maintenance to function properly. The pump doesn’t perform up to par when the drainage system functions poorly. Look for these signs of irregular drainage patterns during the next rainstorm:
The pump moves water more slowly.
The pump generally works as it should, but little water is escaping the drain’s exit.
You haven’t scheduled drain maintenance in one or two years.
Expert Irrigation & Outdoor Lighting will remove clogs, replace damaged materials, and patch up other issues.
Watering by hand takes time and isn’t always effective. Professional irrigation services provide an efficient and automated way to keep your lawn, garden, and landscape properly hydrated without waste.

Frequently Asked Questions About These Drainage Solutions
Designing appropriate drainage solutions means accounting for numerous factors. We’ll explore a few of these below by answering some common customer questions.
Yes, a downspout could cause basement flooding if the downspout was improperly installed. Water infiltration occurs when water collects around the base of the building before seeping into it.
You need a sump pump in your basement, especially if you live in a low-lying area prone to seasonal floods. Sump pumps direct water out of your basement or crawlspace and deposits it in a safe area.
You should service your downspout drains twice yearly in the spring and fall. Maintenance and repairs keep them from becoming clogged, detached, or depositing water in the wrong area.
No, we do not install sump pumps. Our primary service focus is irrigation solutions, like drainage, sprinklers, and outdoor light designs.
