Gutter Drains

Your landscape depends on a number of systems to stay healthy and resilient and the drainage installations are one of them. The installation of these systems needs to be handled with care, choosing products that will offer optimum functionality and effectiveness. This means you need experts like us to handle this job for you.

We at Drain Rain Seamless Gutters & Exterior have been serving clients in and around New Bern, Morehead City, Havelock, Swansboro, Beaufort and Jacksonville for many years. We offer tailored yard drainage solutions that suit your property and specific needs.

Why Your Landscape Needs Underground Drains

During a rainstorm or in snow-melt, season, the gutters will efficiently catch all the water from your roof and carry it straight down to the ground. If your property doesn’t have underground drains and extensions, the water will begin pooling right next to your home’s structure. Over time the water can infiltrate the foundation, undermine patios and stairs and cause significant damage.

We know from experience that most wet basement problems can be resolved by installing underground gutter drains or simply by preventing rainwater overflow features in these guttering installations. Any systems draining into the high traffic areas of your property such as driveways and walkways are often the cause of slipping injuries. The simplest solution is to extend the downspouts underground and direct them away from these traffic areas.

In some cases, we might re-route the downspouts and the landscape gutters to an entirely different area of your home. From that point, the gutters may be brought underground to avoid digging up your driveways and pathways. Properly-planned underground drainage systems divert the rainwater or snow-melt far away from your home’s foundation, keeping it safe and the basement completely dry.

Gutter Drains Installation Process

Gutter drainage features are one of the single most important components of your overall landscape guttering system. Gutter downspout drains help reduce the total amount of rainwater flowing into the soil and hardscaping placed at the foundation of your home. They limit soil contraction and expansion, which results in masonry failure and foundation cracks.

If you are facing water pooling problems around your home’s foundation, we can provide custom landscape drain installation solutions. We will install underground drain lines, splash blocks or extend the existing downspouts to at least 5’ away from the foundation.

On many properties, downspouts dump water right into flower beds installed between the sidewalk and foundation, resulting in a concentration of water in that space. Installing underground gutter drains connecting to that downspout helps direct all the water away from the flower beds and the foundation of your home.

We conduct detailed surveys of the landscape; offer sound advice and the best gutter drain installation services. While we never compromise on the quality of our installations, you will find that our landscape drainage cost is very competitive.
