Boerne Rain Gutter Pros

If you have been paying attention, you have learned how important a gutter system is to the overall protection of your home, business and yard. Whether you choose the six-inch seamless style, aluminum material or a modern half-round copper gutter, these are going to serve your family and your prized possessions for decades to come.

​But you wouldn’t filter or drain a pool without putting the water in a specified location – the same should be true for the rain water that fills your gutters. That’s why no system is complete without the final component – the downspout. Primarily, a downspout takes the water your gutter has collected, and continues to lead it down from the roof and away from your home’s vulnerable spaces like the foundation, walls and even landscaping. 

Typically, a downspout is placed strategically around the home and roofline, to ensure that rain can easily collect and drift without the chance of overflowing. Found along the sides of homes, and at corners, the channel will direct this water and deposit it anywhere from one to three feet from the home, but in some cases, can go even further away or into a specific place.

​During our free consultation and quote, our team will walk the perimeter of your home and help to map out what you full system could look like, and that includes downspouts. If you are interested in adding value to your home, we also specialize in rain harvesting options and other solutions. We will work with you to build a complete system that accomplishes everything you want and provides you with the peace-of-mind you need. 

One of the more modern additions to make your downspout more practical and environmentally friendly is to include a rain collection tank or basin to the end. This basin will collect rain water so it can be harvested for other uses and household chores, but is not recommended as drinking water (without proper treatment).

For instance, a 100-gallon tank can provide ample water to wash your clothes, dishes and cars. But many people love the rain collection system to use it for all of their gardening needs – from vegetables to flower beds. Because this water has flowed through the Earth’s water cycle, it is normally free of pollutants and man-made contaminants, meaning it is truly the best water you can use for your precious crops and decorations.

The other great reason to put in a rain harvesting system at the bottom of your downspout is because it protects the water found underground, so we don’t need to strain our resources even more. Plus, when you have your own reserve of water, you can save on your water bill and reduce overall costs not just for you, but the entire community. 

But whatever you choose, make sure you consult with the best. We understand and have extensive knowledge of the weather you can expect each year. Sometimes, the sturdiness and higher capacity of traditional downspouts is needed, while milder weather is great for the lighter weight and smaller capacity of the rain chain. We can also help you determine what size rain harvesting tank you might need. No matter what options you choose, the right choice is always Boerne Rain Gutter Pros.
