Drainage design
Too few downspouts cause overflow. Too many look messy. We calculate the right count and placement for your roof.
In Minneapolis and St. Paul, spring melt and summer storms move a lot of water fast. Downspouts that empty at the foundation turn a good gutter job into a wet basement problem.
Drainage that works
Beautiful seamless runs still flood a basement if downspouts are too few, too small, or empty water at the foundation wall.
Rule of thumb is one downspout for every 30–40 feet of gutter run, then we adjust for roof area, pitch, and how hard Twin Cities storms hit your side of the house. Undersized 2×3 downspouts on a large roof plane get upgraded to 3×4 so water can leave as fast as it arrives.
Outlet placement follows the low points of a correctly pitched run — not wherever the old holes happened to be. That alone fixes a surprising number of "mystery overflows."
Downspout work is included with every new gutter installation and replacement. Standalone visits cover reattaching sections after ice, replacing crushed elbows, adding outlets to overloaded runs, and extending discharge away from basements that already show moisture.
If underground drains are collapsed or full of roots, we tell you before promising a surface fix that will not hold. The goal is simple: roof water leaves the house and stays away from the foundation through spring melt and summer storms — with the same 5-year workmanship coverage as the rest of the system.
Part of the system
Every new gutter install and replacement includes downspouts sized to the roof. Standalone visits fix ice damage, add outlets to overloaded runs, and extend discharge when landscaping changed the grade.
If an underground line is collapsed, we will not pretend a longer elbow solves it — you get a clear recommendation and a price for the work that actually moves water away.
