Underground Gutter Drainage in Gwinnett & Northeast Atlanta

The buried pipe runs from each downspout to an outlet farther down the yard, a drywell or a storm connection, wherever the lot allows. That keeps it out of the backfill around your foundation and off your walkways and planting beds.

Often, yes. Many wet basements and crawlspaces in Northeast Atlanta trace back to downspouts emptying right beside the wall, where red clay holds the water against the foundation. Fixing a broken gutter, stopping overflow and carrying downspout water underground solves a lot of them, and a Solutionist can tell you whether that is likely in your case.

Puddles along the route of the pipe, a muddy ring at the drain opening and gutters that overflow even though they were just cleaned all point to a clog. You can sometimes spot it from the opening, and pine needles or sweetgum balls that slipped down a downspout are common culprits. Not sure? Ask a Solutionist to look during your free estimate.

Often. We offer it alongside gutter cleaning, though not every location does, so call (770) 637-5130 to check whether it is available at your address, and tell us about the buried lines when you schedule. Lines that are crushed or need replacing, and brand new drain pipe, go to our drainage partners.

It is what we call the three things that, together, protect a home best: gutters that are the right size and working properly, a mesh gutter guard covering every run, and underground drainage taking the water away. The guard matters because once debris clogs a buried line, clearing it usually takes a drain routing company, an expensive call with no promise it will work.

Often. Sometimes we move the downspouts to a different corner of the house, then go underground through lawn or beds where digging is simple. That also keeps water off walkways and driveways, where runoff spreading across the concrete becomes a slip hazard, and a worse one when it freezes on a cold North Georgia morning.

On many lots here, yes. When the yard slopes toward the house, downspout water runs right back to the foundation, and when it slopes away, that water can cut channels through bare clay. Burying the line lets you choose where it goes, which matters on the rolling lots around Oakwood, Bogart and Commerce.
