Move roof runoff away from your foundation. Underground downspout extensions connect your gutters to a planned discharge point, helping reduce water pooling beside your home.
A leaf-guard connection helps keep larger debris out of the buried line.
A downspout that ends beside the house can leave roof runoff close to the foundation. An underground extension connects that downspout to buried drainage pipe and carries the water to a suitable outlet farther from the home.
Crawl Space Brothers plans the connection, underground route, and discharge together. We consider the property’s slope, access, existing drainage, and surfaces that may need to be opened and restored.
Look at what happens near your downspouts when it rains. The water’s route can help explain recurring dampness and erosion.
A buried extension needs more than pipe in the ground. We plan for access, utilities, debris control, the outlet, and any restoration included in the work.
We identify a suitable discharge point and arrange utility marking before excavation.
The route is assessed for slope, obstructions, access, and existing surfaces. Utility locations and any needed coordination are addressed before work. We explain the planned excavation and restoration in your scope.
A trench is prepared, drainage pipe is laid, and the existing downspout is connected with a leaf guard.
Pipe size and connection height are selected for the installation. A leaf guard helps intercept larger debris while keeping the connection accessible. Gutters and guards still need routine cleaning.
The line is routed to the planned discharge point, which may use a pop-up emitter set over gravel.
Where the route crosses concrete, the required section is opened and restored as agreed. Replacement concrete may not match the existing shade. The outlet must remain clear so the extension can discharge water away from the foundation.
A downspout extension addresses roof runoff. The benefit depends on the complete route and the other drainage conditions around your home.

I'm pretty happy with the work and price. Both the sales rep and installers showed me pictures throughout, and kept me up to date with the progress. The electricians they use are outsourced, which may have been the cause of a little confusion for my installation job. Our sales rep, David, was great. He was laid back and didn't push unnecessary solutions. In fact, I even ended up calling him back after a particularly bad storm so I could add more drainage and sump pumps to my quote. There was an unexpected change in scheduling, so my crawl space was started and finished a week earlier than scheduled. That was an improvement for me, since I work from home with a flexible schedule. The only downside is that I didn't hear from the electrician until I called the CSB office two weeks later (assuming the scheduling conflict was the initial issue). Our installers, Devon and Daquan, were excellent. They were very professional and kept me informed as they progressed. Devon even warned me that there may be some confusion on the electrical side due to the change order. That warning came true and was able to be resolved the same day, so shout out to Devon for seeing problems before they happen. The electrician, Cody, was great as well. There was a small mix-up with the number of outlets needed, which he resolved immediately. It has only been a few weeks since the installation, so I'll update this post if I run into any issues.
Crawl Space Brothers did a drainage system with sump pump in our crawl space. Devon Collins (foreman) and Daquan Boyd (co-foreman) installed and completed the work on this job. They were some of the nicest people I have ever encountered. They are knowledgeable, knew what the job entailed, explained everything prior, during and after completion. They took pictures as they progressed so I could see what was being done. They are extremely polite and actually listen to you if you have questions. And even though the crawl space was a muddy mess they did not complain. I truly appreciate those guys, wish the best for them, and hope the Crawl Space Brothers knows what an asset they are to their company. Thank you for helping us with our drainage issue.
We used this contractor for our crawlspace and these guys are great! From Matt’s first visit to provide an estimate until the job was completed, we experienced nothing but professionalism and timeliness. We had moisture in our crawlspace of our new home and the builder grade vapor barrier was useless. Since our home is new and the foundation was properly sealed and drainage was installed properly around, all the moisture in the crawlspace was coming from the dirt under the vapor barrier. Rather than up-sell us on a full encapsulation, Matt recommended we just improve the vapor barrier and install a large space dehumidifier. This saved us thousands by not overdoing it. They installed both for us after removing the cheap builders grade vapor barrier. The installers were very professional and clean…and they did an excellent job of cleaning up all scraps and debris before leaving. We hardly even knew they were down there working because they were so quiet, too! Now our crawlspace humidity is maintained at 50 - 55% and the dehumidifier they installed seems to have corrected our issue. But, just in case, they have also followed up with us a couple of times to make sure that the work they did was sufficient. One of the follow-ups was a visit by their project manager to make sure the installation was done correctly and that the dehumidifier was working properly. He also told us what to do if we ever have an issue and thoroughly explained all the error codes we might see if the dehumidifier ever fails…including an overview of the 5 year warranty. I can’t recommend CSB enough! We extremely glad we hired them! Scott D
Great job. My Crawlspace is finally dry after heavy rain. I had a drainage put in and a pump.
I cannot say enough good things about Crawlspace Brothers. I had an issue with water penetrating my crawlspace and pooling on top of an existing moisture barrier. Crawlspace Brothers came up with a solution to provide proper drainage and protection to my crawlspace with encapsulation. Throughout the process, they were responsive to my questions, patient with my concerns and addressed each and every question and/or concern I had. From the initial estimate by Matt to the work performed by Darnell and Shawn, each and every step was tinted with professionalism, care, and a customer first attitude. This company is priced right, and the value they bring is second to none. I'm glad I found them, I only wish I had found them sooner! If you want to ensure the health of your crawlspace, and in turn, the health of your home, give these guys a call and see what they can do to help you too!
