Looking for a long term solution to collect and redirect water at the end of your downspout? Here is why Vodaland’s Downspout Catch Basin is the answer for you. Many homeowners struggle with water pooling at the end of their downspouts after a long rainfall. Our Downspout Catch Basin filters the water before it enters the catch basin and redirects it away from your foundation.
If you’re dealing with pooling water at your foundation, downspout run off, or trays that disappear after a windy storm, installing a catch basin might be the choice for you. In this article we’ll explain what catch basins do, why they can make a huge difference and how Vodaland’s Systems can make drainage easy and effective.
Why Standing Water is a Bigger Problem than You Think
The foundation of a home is something that we commonly forget to think about when we get heavy rainfalls. Heavy rainfalls can cause water to pool and stand if not managed properly. Standing water creates a costly problem if ignored for too long. This is bad for your foundation because it can wash away soil which creates voids and can cause the foundation to shift and settle unevenly. A Downspout Catch Basin works to collect and redirect runoff far from your foundation before it becomes a costly problem.
