Downspouts

Gutters are a great method to divert rainwater away from your home or building. This will help prevent foundation problems and leaks. But, a gutter system isn't complete without downspouts. They are the extensions that take rainwater out of the gutters and direct it away from your home or building. Downspouts are shaped like pipes that you install on the sides of gutters, redirecting their flow and reducing the chance of clogging or other problems.

You can purchase downspouts in various lengths, based on the amount of rainfall you get during the course of the typical year. These pipes are made of a variety of materials, including copper, vinyl, and galvanized steel. Each type of downspout comes with its own benefits and drawbacks. For example, aluminum downspouts are cost-effective and lightweight, and they can be curved to suit the shape of your house. They're also resistant to dents, which makes them endure our hot Texas summers.

To install your new downspout begin by measuring the distance between the gutter and where you want it to end. A level is much easier to use than a ladder or a tape measure. Once you've measured the length you want you mark the measurement on the downspout's flange using a marker or pencil. Cut the downspout to the desired size using a hacksaw or tin cutting. After the downspout has been cut to size then use a downspout crimper (or pliers with needle noses) to make the edges crimped.

Once the downspout is secured with a crimp, connect it to your gutter using sheet metal screws. Attach an elbow at the top of the downspout and then another below it in an S shape. Attach a gutter bracket to the exterior of your house wall just below the first elbow for the downspout and another one halfway down the downspout and at the bottom just above the last downspout elbow.

If your downspouts have loosened from the gutters, it's because the outlet tubes that connect the downspout with the gutters are damaged or missing. The outlet tubes comprise cylinders that are attached to the gutter with four pop rivets or screw. You can get glazing gasket replacement outlets at any hardware store or online.
