An effective underground gutter system is essential for protecting your home’s foundation and landscaping from water damage. One key factor that determines the efficiency of underground gutters is the proper slope. Without the right angle, water can pool, cause blockages, and lead to costly structural issues.

Why Does Gutter Slope Matter?

The slope of underground gutters directs rainwater away from your home, preventing flooding, erosion, and foundation problems. A well-installed system ensures water flows smoothly, reducing the risk of standing water, mold, and pipe damage.

Signs Your Underground Gutter Slope Needs Adjustment

• Slow drainage or standing water around your foundation.
• Frequent clogs or debris accumulation in the system.
• Soil erosion near downspouts.
• Water backing up into gutters during heavy rain.
