Downspout Drainage Solutions in Memphis, TN

Poorly routed downspouts dump thousands of gallons of roof water right next to your foundation every year. Shelby Yard extends, buries, and routes downspout discharge safely away from your home.

Typical Project Cost

$300–$1,500

What Is Downspout Drainage?

Downspout drainage connects your gutters to a buried pipe network that carries roof runoff away from your foundation and discharges it safely into the yard or storm system.

Memphis clay soil is nearly impermeable — water that pools against your foundation has nowhere to go except through your basement wall or under your slab. A properly buried downspout drain line solves the problem at the source.

Key Benefits

  • Prevents foundation erosion and settling
  • Eliminates basement seepage caused by concentrated roof runoff
  • Stops erosion channels in landscaping beds
  • Reduces mosquito breeding from pooled water
  • Protects driveways and walkways from undermining
