Downspout & Gutter Drainage, in practice
This is the cheapest meaningful drainage work most houses can have done, and very often it is most of the problem. A roof sheds an enormous volume of water into a very small area, and a downspout discharging at the foundation puts all of it exactly where it does the most harm.
Extending a few feet with a splash block is better than nothing and rarely enough. Piped properly, the water leaves the zone that matters entirely.
Pipe is sized to roof area. An undersized line surcharges in a heavy storm and backs up out of the top of the downspout, which is when it matters most.
We record the route. A buried line nobody knows about is a line somebody eventually puts a fence post through.
