Tight-line Closed Downspout System
Installing a tight-line closed downspout system will direct roof runoff away from your house and into the storm sewer system. This is especially important if the presently installed downspouts discharge into a yard that is flat or only sloping very gradually away from your home. Homes that originally had footing drains that have become clogged over time, and are now unable to properly handle both normal ground water and the roof runoff, will benefit from a closed downspout system.
Even if we are able to clear the footing drains, a tight-line closed downspout system is good insurance against future water problems in your basement. The new closed downspout system will be installed with cleanouts so that it can be maintained, assuring top performance. The tight-line system is also connected to a catch basin that can be connected to the nearest storm sewer.
