Move roof water away

Downspout Burial & Extensions in Kansas City

Your roof sheds thousands of gallons in a single storm. We take that water underground and release it well away from your foundation, where it can no longer pool, seep, or do damage.

Downspouts that dump right at the foundation are one of the most common and most damaging drainage problems we see. All that concentrated roof water saturates the soil against the house and finds its way into the basement.

We connect your downspouts to buried, solid pipe that carries the water underground to a pop-up emitter or safe discharge point far from the home. No more splash blocks, no more soggy beds, no more water at the foundation.

Done right

What downspout burial includes

Solid underground pipe

We run rigid, solid pipe (not flimsy corrugated tube) from the downspout to a safe outlet, sloped to drain fully.

Pop-up emitters

A pop-up emitter releases the water at the surface, well away from the house, then closes flush with the lawn.

Away from the foundation

We route the discharge to a spot that protects the foundation, the beds, and the neighbor's yard.

Clean, buried runs

Lines are buried and the lawn restored, so there is nothing to trip over or mow around.

Freeze-aware design

We account for Kansas City winters so the system keeps draining and does not hold water.

Do you have this problem?

You likely need this if

  • Downspouts empty right next to the foundation
  • Splash blocks and flexible extensions keep failing
  • Beds and mulch near the house stay soggy or wash out
  • Water shows up in the basement after heavy rain
  • You have erosion where a downspout discharges
  • You are also getting a French drain and want it all tied together

Good questions

Frequently asked.

Why bury downspouts instead of using extensions?
Surface extensions get in the way, get mowed over, and rarely carry water far enough. Buried solid pipe moves the water underground to a spot that actually protects your foundation, and it disappears into the yard.
What is a pop-up emitter?
It is a discharge fitting that sits flush with the lawn and pops open under water pressure to release roof water, then closes again. It is a clean, mow-over way to daylight a buried line.
Will the buried pipe freeze in winter?
We design the runs to drain fully so standing water does not sit and freeze, and we choose outlets that keep working through our freeze-thaw cycles.
Can you tie this into my French drain?
Yes. Combining buried downspouts with a French drain is one of the most effective ways to keep a foundation dry, and we build them as one system.
