When planning your home's downspout routing for better drainage, consider the slope of your yard and where water naturally flows. Extending downspouts away from the foundation with proper underground piping or splash blocks can prevent basement leaks and soil erosion. Matching your gutter system’s capacity to rainfall intensity ensures water moves efficiently, while avoiding low spots that can cause pooling near the house.
