Gutters, Downspouts & Downspout Extensions

Your gutter system is the first line of defense against water damage — and one of the most overlooked. At Sump Daddy, we provide full-service solutions to manage roof runoff and keep it away from your foundation. Whether you need new gutters, repairs, cleanouts, or buried downspout extensions, we’ll make sure your water is going where it’s supposed to go — not into your basement.

Why Gutters Matter in Waterproofing

Many basement water issues start at the roof. Clogged gutters and short or broken downspouts allow rainwater to dump directly next to the house — saturating the soil, overwhelming foundation drains, and pushing water into basements.

That’s why every drainage plan we build looks at the entire system, from roofline to soil. When needed, we repair or replace your gutter system and extend your downspouts away from the house as part of a complete waterproofing strategy.

Our Services

We install, repair, and clean:

  • Aluminum Gutters & Downspouts – Seamless, custom-fit systems with proper slope and secure hangers
  • Leaf Guard Systems – Screen or mesh guards to reduce clogging from leaves and debris
  • Gutter Tune-Ups – Realignment, re-hanging, seam sealing, and outlet clearing
  • Downspout Extensions (Surface & Buried)
  • Solid SDR or corrugated pipe
  • Pop-up emitters
  • Splash blocks
  • Cleanout ports for maintenance access
  • Optional dry wells or gravel trenches to catch and absorb water at discharge

We take care to route all buried piping with proper slope and backfill, avoiding tree roots, utilities, and foundation footings.

Standalone or Integrated Work

We offer gutter and downspout services as a standalone service or as part of a larger basement waterproofing or yard drainage job. Many times, this work is the missing piece in a bigger system — especially when homeowners have waterproofed their basement but still see moisture from above.

If we find your downspouts are part of the problem, we’ll address it — and make sure you don’t spend money fixing the wrong thing.
