Downspout Drain Repair & Replacement in Akron

Gutters and a downspout drain
The downspout and drain tile are the most important pipes in a rainwater drainage system. When these pipes are cracked or broken, water collects at the base of your home or building. This water then seeps into your basement walls, causing property damage and mold. If you’re having problems with your downspout drain, Superior Drainage is here to help. We’ll keep your drain clean and fix any problems you’re having.

Call Superior Drainage or contact us online to schedule service.

What Is a Downspout Drain?

A downspout drain, or a downspout extension, ensures that water moves away from your home and yard and into the sewers, where it can be safely drained out into larger bodies of water or treatment plants. During even a standard rainstorm, thousands of gallons of water will fall onto your roof and into your yard.

When your gutter drain pipes are not working correctly, that water becomes backed up, seeping into the foundation of your home. If this is allowed to go on unchecked over a period of time, it can go on to cause serious structural damage to your home.

Cracked Downspout Drain Repair

Clogs aren’t the only issue that can happen to your downspout drain. Cracks above and below the ground on your downspout drain can occur when tree roots grow too close, when the material becomes too brittle over time, when the downspout drain freezes, when external pressure gets to be too much, and more. If you notice any of the following signs, you may have a cracked downspout drain at fault:

Downspout Drain Repair FAQs

Professional plumbers usually use a trenchless repair technique to fix underground pipes because it limits the need for digging. They’ll insert a patching material via an access point to repair the crack. The process is quick, inexpensive, and provides more lasting results.

The first step is finding the correct downspout extension. It will need to be compatible with your existing drainage system. Once you’ve found the perfect size, you’ll slip it over your downspout. It might sound like an easy DIY project, but a shoddy installation could restrict water flow, causing expensive damage. It’s best to rely on professionals.

Mechanical methods like augers and milling machines can cope with minor blockage but can also damage your pipes. Drain bladders are sometimes adequate, but if you have a severe clog, professional hydro jetting is the gentlest way to shift a stubborn problem. This method relies on the power of water and requires no digging.

Downspouts are usually a minimum of 1 foot beneath the ground. It can vary depending on climate, though. If you experience icy winters, your downspouts might be buried 14 or more inches underground.

Leaky joints can render your entire drainage system useless, so they should be repaired as soon as possible. These joints usually open up due to gravity. To fix them, you’ll first need to remove the leaking portion. Once you have access to the leak, apply caulk or adhesive before putting your system back together.
