Why it matters
Foundation edges, mulch beds, and side yards often stay wet because the roof is feeding them every time it rains.
Downspout drainage
Roof water belongs away from the foundation.
Buried downspout lines and discharge planning help keep large volumes of roof water from saturating beds, slabs, walkways, and low yard areas in Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and New Braunfels.
Request a downspout drainage estimateCommon scope
Get roof water into pipe and out to a better outlet.
Downspouts can dump hundreds of gallons into the same small area during a storm. Raw Dirt Development can tie downspouts into solid pipe, route water to daylight or pop-up emitters where appropriate, and coordinate with broader yard drainage work.
- Buried solid pipe from downspouts
- Pop-up emitters and daylight outlets
- Connections to yard drainage systems
- Discharge routes that avoid neighbor and walkway issues
What to watch
Splash blocks, short extensions, mulch washout, and wet spots below gutter corners all point to roof-water issues.
What to send
Photos of each downspout, the wet area, and the direction water should travel if it could be routed underground.
Local service area
Downspout drainage for homes where roof water is feeding the problem.
Across Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and New Braunfels, many drainage calls start with roof water dumping into beds, narrow side yards, or low turf. Routing that water into solid pipe can reduce soil saturation before a larger French drain or catch basin system is needed.
Route the roof water
Start with downspout photos.
Include photos after rain if possible, plus any areas where water is crossing walks, gates, or beds.
