Why Downspouts Fail and Cause Flooding

Damaged or Disconnected Downspout Sections

Downspout sections that separate or crack let water pour out right next to the wall.

Heavy Rainfall and Storm Events

Heavy storms send more roof water than clogged or small downspouts can carry.

Roof Runoff Volume Exceeds Capacity

Large roofs can shed more water than a single downspout can handle in heavy rain.

Frozen Downspouts in Cold Climates

Ice can block downspouts, so meltwater backs up and spills over the gutter edge.
