Downspout extension questions, answered
How much does a downspout extension cost in Mountain Home?
$50–$600 per downspout.ASAP Crawlspace of Mountain Home prices extensions at $50–$600 per downspout, and grading from $500. The price depends on whether the run is on the surface or buried, how long it is, and how much grading the yard needs.
How long does a downspout extension take?
1 to 2 hours for surface extensions.ASAP Crawlspace of Mountain Home typically finishes a surface extension in 1 to 2 hours. Buried lines take longer, and regrading typically takes 1 to 3 days depending on the yard.
Should I fix the downspouts before paying for a drain?
Check the downspouts first.ASAP Crawlspace of Mountain Home looks at where roof water lands before it quotes inside work, because a drain can't stop water that's dumped at the wall. An extension runs $50–$600 per downspout.
What decides which extension my house needs?
The run and the yard.ASAP Crawlspace of Mountain Home offers surface extensions and buried lines. Price and time follow the length of the run and how much grading the yard needs, which Dylan looks at when he sees the house.
What a downspout and grading job involves
The job moves roof water away from the foundation, either with an extension or by sloping the soil, and sometimes with both.
Surface extensions
An extension carries the water from the downspout out past the wall, so it doesn't drop at the corner and soak in beside the crawl space.
Buried lines
A buried line takes the water farther from the house, underground. It takes longer than a surface extension, and the length of the run moves the price.
Grading
Regrading slopes the soil away from the foundation so rain runs off instead of toward the wall. It typically takes 1 to 3 days, depending on the yard.
Where roof water should land under the model building code
The International Residential Code, section R801.3, says that in expansive or collapsible soils roof water must discharge at least 5 feet from foundation walls or into an approved drainage system. Section R401.3 asks for the ground to fall at least 6 inches in the first 10 feet.
Not a fix for water from uphill or standing water
On a hillside lot, water can also arrive underground, and extensions can't stop that. Those jobs need drainage or standing water removal.
