We can add gutter extensions to your home.
Gutter extensions are a type of attachment that connect to the end of your downspout. The purpose of gutter extensions is to direct rainwater further away from the foundation of your home. These extensions attach to the bottom of the downspout where water exits your gutter system, and they’re typically made from flexible plastic, rigid PVC, or metal. By carrying water further into your yard, they help prevent erosion, basement leaks, foundation cracks, and soggy landscaping.

FAQs About Gutter Extensions
If rainwater is leaving the downspout but still collecting too close to your house, a gutter extension may help. Here are answers to common questions about adding extensions to an existing gutter system.
Hidden
How is a gutter extension different from a downspout?
A downspout carries water from the gutters toward the ground. An extension attaches at the bottom, where that water comes out, and carries it farther into the yard. It adds to the drainage system you already have, helping move runoff away from your foundation instead of letting it discharge right beside the house.
Does every downspout on my house need an extension?
We’ll inspect your existing gutter system to determine which areas need extensions. The purpose is to address places where water needs to travel farther from the house. We’ll assess your system before recommending where to add them, rather than assuming each downspout needs the same setup.
What materials can gutter extensions be made from?
Common materials include flexible plastic, rigid PVC, and metal. We’ll help you choose a material for your extensions after inspecting the gutter system. Material selection is part of our service, along with deciding where the extensions should go and completing the installation.
What problems can gutter extensions help prevent?
Water sitting beside your house can leave the landscaping soggy, wash away soil, and contribute to basement leaks or foundation cracks. Gutter extensions help by taking that water farther out into the yard, away from where it would otherwise collect near your home.
