Services / In-ground downspout piping
Get water away from your foundation for good
We trench, grade, and install buried downspout extensions that carry runoff underground to a safe daylight or pop-up emitter — no more washouts, drowned landscaping or flooded basements. Serving the greater Pittsburgh area.
What we install and fix
Downspouts that dump at the foundation are the number one cause of wet basements and washouts. We bury the runoff, grade it away from the house, and send it underground to a pop-up emitter or daylight exit — so the water leaves your property instead of pooling against it.

How it works
The drainage process
Grade & site assessment
We read the slope, find where water pools, and map the shortest safe path to carry runoff away from your foundation and out to daylight.
Trench & layout
We trench to the right depth and fall, hand-clear around utilities, and lay out the run from each downspout to its emitter or daylight exit.
Pipe & connection
We install sleeved, freeze-resistant pipe, tie in catch basins and pop-up emitters, and connect every downspout so nothing dumps at the wall.
Backfill & test
We backfill, compact, restore the grade, and run water through the system end-to-end so you can see it flow clear before we leave.

What drainage customers say
Every hard rain pooled at our foundation and crept into the basement. They trenched two lines to a pop-up emitter in the yard and we have not seen a drop since. Worth every penny.

Buried our four downspouts to a daylight exit on the side hill. Graded right, no washouts in the mulch, and the landscaping actually looks better now that the runoff is gone.

They diagnosed the wet basement as a downspout problem, not a foundation problem. Saved me from a $12k waterproofing quote another company gave. Water now leaves the property entirely.

Water pooling at the house?
Let's get it underground and away from the foundation before it becomes a basement problem.
