Downspout traps now could save you thousands of dollars later
Posted By RichC on May 29, 2024
Last weekend Drew and Katelyn discussed their plans to bury pipes with yard pop-up that lead from their homes’ gutters and downspouts. I mentioned that I thought having downspout traps was essential when living on a property with trees, especially with underground drainage tiles. 
I think they agreed and will be adding them while finished at their new home … we did “eventually” did when replacing our gutters.
I suspect our underground pipes already have blockage due to years without downspout traps, but am hopeful that much of what flowed into those pipes was before our trees were larger (although I doubt it). Anyway, it is good to pass on to others some advice and tidbits to readers from this homeowner who may have learned the hard way?
