Total Plumbing & Heating advises homeowners to address their downspout issues to prevent damage to the home's foundation and reduce destruction in the yard.
One solution may be to change the downspout to a commercial type, which has twice the cross section of a residential spout.
This rainwater-harvesting system relies on gravity to carry rainwater from your downspouts out into your garden or lawn.
It had one round side to match the pipe and a square mouth on the other side to match the square downspout end," he says.
Cut your downspout and attach an elbow and, if necessary, an extension, to direct rainwater into your garden and away from your house's foundation.
Installation is simple: Just cut the downspout at a 45-degree angle with a tin snips or metal-cutting blade and fasten the two-piece Zip Hinge (about $5) with eight sheet metal screws.
The downspout may be too small for the amount of water collected by the roof area; there may also be a problem with either gutters (if there are any) or other means of directing water to the downspout.
All capture water from downspouts. If a downspout is too low, or situated where you can't conveniently put a barrel, you can reroute it by adding pipe elbows and extension pieces.
If you're still getting water in the basement after sloping the ground away from the house and adding gutters and downspout extensions, then a drainage system may be the only solution.
