The problem

Downspouts that dump water next to the foundation saturate the soil and stress the basement.

The fix

Extensions or buried lines carry the water several feet away, downhill from the house.

The pairing

Downspout drainage works with a French drain or a sump system.

The call

Keep the foundation dry. Call 888-217-3585 and Tallahassee Plumber Connect will match you with a Tallahassee pro.
