Downspout Installation & Repair in Tallahassee, FL

When it rains in Tallahassee, it really rains. Your gutters catch the water coming off the roof, but your downspouts are what actually get that water away from your home. If the downspouts are undersized, clogged, broken, or dumping water at your foundation, you’re asking for trouble—erosion, settling, moisture, and eventually structural problems.

At Tallahassee Gutter Services, we specialize in downspout installation, replacement, and repair for homes and small commercial properties across the Tallahassee area. If your gutters always seem overwhelmed or water is pooling around the base of your house, there’s a good chance your downspouts are the weak link.

Why Downspouts Matter So Much

Most people focus on the gutters themselves, but downspouts do the real heavy lifting:

  • They control where water goes after it leaves the roof

  • They protect your foundation from constant saturation

  • They prevent erosion around walkways, patios, and driveways

  • They help keep basements and crawlspaces drier

  • They keep heavy water flow off your flowerbeds and landscaping

If your downspouts aren’t doing their job, the rest of the system simply can’t perform.

Signs You Need Downspout Work

You may need new or repaired downspouts if you notice:

  • Water pooling at the base of your home after storms

  • Overflowing gutters even when they’ve been cleaned

  • Downspouts that disconnect from gutters or walls

  • Rust, dents, or crushed sections at the bottom

  • Water staining or streaking down your siding

  • Downspouts that empty right at your foundation with no extensions

Sometimes the fix is simple. Other times, your home just doesn’t have enough downspouts for the size and shape of the roof. We’ll tell you honestly which it is.

Our Downspout Services

We offer a full menu of downspout solutions:

New Downspout

  • If your home doesn’t have enough drainage, we can add additional downspouts along long runs of gutter or high-volume valleys. This keeps water from overloading a single section and reduces overflow.

Downspout Repair & Replacement

We repair or replace:

  • Separated elbows

  • Crushed or dented downspouts

  • Rusted sections

  • Loose brackets and straps

We use color-matched materials whenever possible so repairs blend with your existing system.

Oversized Downspouts (3" x 4")

  • For larger roofs or heavy water flow, we can upgrade you to 3" x 4" downspouts, which carry significantly more water than older 2" x 3" styles. That’s a big deal in Tallahassee’s storms.

Downspout Extensions & Drainage

If water is dumping too close to your foundation, we add:

  • Rigid extensions

  • Hinged or flip-up extensions

  • Splash blocks

  • Tie-ins to underground drainage or pop-up emitters (where appropriate)

The goal is always the same: get water safely away from your home.

Can you connect downspouts to underground drains?
