French Drains & Underground Downspout Drainage
Get water away from your home instead of dumping it beside the foundation. Downspout Kings installs underground drainage systems designed around your property, roof runoff and problem areas.
Drainage that goes beyond the gutter.
Gutters collect the water. A properly planned drainage system helps carry it away from the places where it can cause problems.
Route roof runoff underground instead of discharging it right beside your home, walkways or landscaping.
Help collect and redirect excess surface and subsurface water from wet or problem areas around the property.
Build a practical drainage path around the way water actually moves across your property.
When water keeps ending up where it shouldn't.
Every property is different, but drainage work is often worth looking at when roof runoff or standing water repeatedly collects near the home.
Equipped for the digging, not just the gutters.
These are photos from an actual Downspout Kings drainage project. The excavation is part of the job, not something hidden behind stock photography.
A straightforward drainage process.
We start with where the water is coming from and where it needs to go.
The drainage path is laid out around the property, grade and existing downspouts.
We trench the route and install the appropriate underground drainage components.
Connections and drainage direction are checked before the project is wrapped up.
French drain & underground drainage FAQs
What's the difference between a French drain and underground downspout drainage?
Underground downspout drainage carries concentrated roof runoff from a downspout through buried piping. A French drain is generally intended to collect water from a broader wet area and redirect it. Some properties may benefit from one system, while others need a combination.
Can you connect existing gutters and downspouts to underground drainage?
In many situations, yes. The best setup depends on the existing gutter system, discharge points, grade and where the water can be safely directed.
Do you provide the excavation?
Yes. Downspout Kings can handle the trenching and installation required for the drainage work shown on this page.
Do you serve Lexington?
Yes. Downspout Kings serves Lexington, Nicholasville and surrounding Central Kentucky communities.
How much does a drainage project cost?
Cost depends on the length and depth of the run, site access, soil conditions, materials and the drainage problem being solved. Contact us for a free estimate based on your property.
