How to Improve Your Underground Buried Downspout System • Managing water runoff efficiently is crucial to maintaining the integrity of your home’s foundation and landscaping. In this video, we delve into three critical upgrades you can make to your underground buried downspout system to ensure it performs optimally, even during heavy rainfall. Whether you’re dealing with water pooling near your home or just looking to enhance your current system, these tips will set you on the right path. • Enhancing Your Downspout System: • The key to an effective downspout system lies not just in how well it diverts water away from your home • , but also in how effectively it handles and discharges that water without issues. Here are three ways to improve your underground buried downspout system: • 1. Extend and Optimize the Discharge Path: • The first step to improving your downspout system is to extend the discharge line further from your house. This helps in preventing water from pooling around your foundation, which can lead to moisture-related problems in your basement or crawl space. However, simply extending the line isn’t enough; it's crucial to ensure that the extended path has a gradual slope to maintain a consistent flow rate. • 2. Install an Improved Fitting to Reduce Flow Resistance: • Most standard downspout systems use a 90-degree fitting, which can hinder the flow of water by creating turbulence. In this video, we introduce a special fitting that is not quite a 90-degree angle. This unique design helps water to ramp smoothly around the bend, maintaining velocity and reducing the chance of sediment build-up. By replacing your standard elbow fittings with these optimized versions, you enhance the efficiency of water flow throughout the system. • 3. Integrate an Inline Sediment Trap: • When the slope of your discharge line changes from steep to flat, the slowing water velocity can cause sediment to settle and potentially clog the line. To combat this, we recommend installing an inline sediment trap at the point where the elevation changes. This trap will collect debris and sediment, preventing clogs and ensuring smooth water flow. Regular maintenance of the trap, such as annual cleaning, will keep your system running smoothly without frequent interventions. • Implementation and Maintenance: • Installing these enhancements requires careful planning and execution. Here are a few steps to guide you through the process: • Plan Your Path: Ensure that the discharge line is laid out with a consistent slope away from your home. • Select the Right Materials: Use high-quality, durable piping and specially designed fittings to ensure longevity. • Regular Inspections: After heavy rainfall, inspect the system to ensure it is functioning properly and clear any visible debris from the sediment trap. • Conclusion: • Upgrading your underground buried downspout system is a smart move that can save you from costly water damage repairs in the future. By extending the discharge line, utilizing better fittings, and installing a sediment trap, you will significantly enhance the functionality and reliability of your system. • Call to Action: • If you found these tips useful, don’t forget to give us a thumbs up and subscribe for more practical home improvement advice.
