Do You Need Underground Downspout Drains?

Signs you might benefit from underground downspout drains include:

  • Soil erosion near your home’s foundation.
  • Soft, squishy soil around the foundation even without recent rain.
  • Water draining toward your home or pooling near the foundation.
  • Foundation leaks or cracks in walls and floors.
  • Persistent flooding or damage to hardscapes and landscaping beds.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, Bright Green Landscapes can help with customized drainage solutions tailored to your property.

Why Choose Underground Downspout Drains?

Clogged gutters and poorly directed downspouts are the leading causes of basement flooding. Installing underground downspout drains ensures water is directed at least 10 feet away from your home, minimizing the risk of hydrostatic pressure buildup along foundation walls. These systems also prevent mulch and decorative stone washouts, protect plant root systems, and maintain a clean, organized look for your property.

Bright Green Landscapes offers installation options using corrugated drain tile or PVC piping:

  • Corrugated Drain Tile: A cost-effective option for basic installations.
  • PVC Drain Pipe: A durable, long-lasting choice, ideal for areas prone to burrowing animals or installations under patios, sidewalks, and driveways.

Our Process

Consultation

We begin with a thorough consultation, walking your property to assess your drainage needs and taking measurements for all downspouts. Together, we’ll determine the best discharge locations to ensure efficient water management.

Installation

Trenches are dug by hand to preserve your existing sod, which is reinstalled after the project is complete. Trenches are typically 8-12” deep and 6” wide to accommodate the 4” drain pipe. Pop-up emitters or grate caps are installed to prevent debris and critters from entering the drainage system. All trenches are backfilled, excess soil removed, and grading completed by hand to leave your yard looking pristine.

Materials Used

  • Corrugated Drain Tile: Affordable and effective, though less durable than PVC.
  • PVC Drain Pipe: Long-lasting and resistant to animal damage, ideal for installations under hardscaping and high-traffic areas.

Additional Drainage Services

  • French Drain Installation: Prevent surface and ground water from damaging foundations or pooling in low areas. Ideal for downspouts, sump pumps, and retaining walls.
  • Underground Sump Pump Drains: Redirect sump pump discharge to a designated area for a cleaner and more efficient solution.
  • Land Grading: Create proper slopes to divert surface water and improve overall drainage.
