Downspout
A downspout is a vertical pipe that directs rainwater from a building's roof to the ground or a drainage system. It is typically connected to a gutter, which collects rainwater from the roof's edges. Downspouts help prevent water damage to the building's foundation and landscape by channeling water away from the structure.
Downspouts come in various materials, including metal, plastic, and vinyl. They can be found in different shapes and sizes to fit the architectural style of a building. Proper installation and maintenance of downspouts are essential to ensure effective water drainage and to avoid blockages that can lead to overflow.
