What it is

What to Know About Downspout Extensions

A surprising amount of the water reaching a crawl space starts at the roofline, not the ground. Downspouts that empty right next to the foundation send roof runoff straight toward the crawl space with every rain, so extending them further away is often the simplest way to reduce how much water reaches the space in the first place.
