Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
Perfect timing on this episode considering it’s been raining here in New England for a week straight with basically another week to go 🤦♂️ Funny coincidence, 2 days ago I added a downspout extension in the front of my house to do just this.
Ikr, I'm glad we have sandy soil because i haven't got around to welding up my leader pipes on my house yet, only been like two years since i did the roof and gutters .😄 those babies were cranking out some water today.
@@mitchdenner9743 you’re lucky because I live halfway down a long steep hill and the soil is heavy clay. When it rains for a couple days, I have a river flowing through my backyard for a week.
I have tried the mesh gutter guards...my maple seeds sprouted in those. I have not tried the gutter guards that depend on water tension to launch any debris. I tried the angle "foam" gutter inserts sold at the big box stores, but they clogged with fine debris. I have tried a couple of different downspout protecting guards but the leaves just backup behind them and clog them. My best success has been enlarging my downspouts to 3x4 downspouts. Anything less than a large pile of leaves or seeds will flow though.
My question is what is the name of the flexible downspout capital A spout elephant trunk extension 😆😆😆 no I couldn't help it but all jokes aside thanks for the tips and advises.
You provided links to finding transition elbows except for the 2" x 3" B to A transition elbow which is almost impossible to find. I've noticed that the few sellers of these elbows are showing a photo, but giving incorrect descriptions of B to A and A to B. Who sells these? I need a B to A.
my 1st video to watch about gutters....thx....i need to fix the porch and install ...NVR done it...remove bad parts and nail posts first n then wood plank...make it look like a ramp and install gutters in two....is there a way to connect 2 gutters into a single downspout to keep the water away from the foundation...? gracias...
The issue with my gutters is they always clog at the gutter outlet to the downspout, thus backing up the remainder of the gutter. How is this issue best solved?
I am in my second home now. It was built very well. I understand the importance of directing water off of the foundation. I have bought a couple of plastic flexible downspouts. They keep falling off. Any ideas? Riveting did not work.
I thought you might mention that downspouts are often 2”x3” which has an opening area of 6 sq inches and how downspouts that are 3”x4” are twice as big with 12 sq inches. Always important to get water out of the gutters and away from the roof asap.
This here! I had 2x3 ran into 3 inch drain pipe. Wish I had gone 4 inches, not so much for the flow rate, but more so to pass larger leaf debris mainly cypress)
@@danielherman9483 Just at the downspout entry, once it gets into the downspout, took it straight into hard pipe, treated it like sewage drainage in terms of slope and long sweep bends so it's been problem free after the downspout. My thought is a 4inch downspout for my leaf debris type may have all but eliminate the need to clean out the gutters.
Gutter downspouts are made really bad, all the 90° bends, they don't seal well at all to each other, they just crimple one end like crazy to make the other end slide on which just inhibits flow of anything that tries to go through, they clog very easily, the openings from tbe gutter itself are narrow, also providing poor flow. Gutter downspouts today are kind of complete junk, made very poorly.
These gutters are the most inefficient style of gutters for diverting water away from your house. It’s amazing how little the design has changed on this, considering how important it is. It’s amazing how the bottom of the gutter is flat, and not curved. No wonder it has to cleaned 2 times a year even with screens on them. Very inefficient!
20 years ago i tore mine off. I needed to replace the boards behind the gutters all around my house. I have a line all around my house where the water rolls off my roof. i do have a 2 foot overhang. I don't care about that line. I am very happy without them.
So if its all about old houses, why are the gutter pieces discussed all modern instead of the old round style that you'd actually find on "old" houses?
I appreciate learning about the different styles of attachments to the gutter and disbursement attachments for the downspout. I wish you had also talked about the different sizes since I’ve see 2 in the big box stores near me. Also how and where to attach one piece to another with the very tiny screws that are supposed to be used. 🤷🏼♀️ I finally have 3 of the 4 corners fixed so water doesn’t come in but there’s one that always has water in the basement when there’s heavy rain for a day or more. I can’t get the darn screws to work! 😖🤦🏼♀️
I have water going away from my house but here in Texas it gets hot, and my dad always told me to water my foundation. How much water is too much for that.
Hey everyone.. I have one side of my house that is a consistent issue.. I have a pine tree that has clogged my down spout consistently.. I put gutter guards to protect .. this recent massive rain storm we got in New Jersey there was pooling on that side of the house, and it led to water getting in my basement.. my question is: I’ve taken steps to clearing out the gutters, but do I have to worried of clogging in the pvc underneath my lawn leading the water away from my house?? And do I have to be worried of any cracks in my foundation that’s letting the water in? I was thinking of digging up the dirt on that side of the house and pouring some concrete to protect my foundation in case the polling happens again.. any thoughts would be helpful, I know we got smart people on this channel.. thanks a lot !
Those expandable plastic pipes are absolute trash. They will break after one winter or really sunny summer. Dont ever use those. Your best option is to bury the downspouts and run them at least 10 ft from the house using a strong corrugated pipe (not the crap they sell at the big box stores).
What material should the corrugated pipe be made of, and is there another name for it other than corrugated pipe? I am just a homeowner, so where do I locate the corrugated pipe it if I cannot get it from a big box store, and is there a particular brand name I can search for pipe that would work? I want something to bury under ground, that will hold up for many years, and will not be too likely to clog, but can withstand being rotor-rootered if needed.
My landlord got new gutters installed and they put all the down spouts on the uphill side of the building.... Of course I told the landlord about it, but she claimed their experts and they know what their doing.
l am super excited my financial life has totally changed ever since I ventured into crypto market. Ive been earning over $12,000 every single week. Lol
Wow, that's awesome! I invested 5k in Robin hood about a year ago and it steadily went down, now my portfolio is down $800p. I don't know what to do and i am in between jobs
Now see, you screwed up. “Ms. Catalina” was never mentioned in the original post, but yet a reply casually references this person by name. Delete and restart scam.

I love how kevin acts like he knows nothing despite having been on the show for years and obvi knows all of it 😀
He plays the role of the inquisitor well
"hey, what's that thing?"
It's a hammer.
@@aguyandhiscomputer LOL. Nice.
Kevin is always asking questions home owners r thinking.

yes, there are adaptors to connect a different size pipe than you already have.
Very good
What about the different sizes gutters and downspouts ? What about the many capabilities to block leaves and catkins from clogging gutters?

Avoid the accordion style as any sun hitting it will eventually cause it to crack in a few years.
Ribbed for her pleasure is bad for water flow also.
Also grows mold in the grooves
GOOD MAN TOMMY

the downspout gets heavy when it's full of water, is the weight supported at the end or in the middle?
There's a Judge Judy episode where a landlord accuses the tenant of ripping off their downspouts, but actually it's just a tough attachment to make !
@@pprb123 Middle
Where can you buy the diverter that moves up?
Probably only online
Search for "zip hinge"

@@MooseTurder At what point did you find it was clogging? Near the downspouts, or further down the line?

That's right, "Water is the enemy."
What about rain chains?
No mention of dealing with clogging in the downspouts. That is my *main* problem,and elm seeds are the cause. They turn to porridge when they get wet.

Maybe us a Gutter Saddle - - has 45-Degeree sloped portion before going vertical & into downspout ? ?

I always recommend the bigger size which is 3x4 it is able to handle a lot more water
Try pop rivits and small washers if needed.
@@Alex.AL_26 if what I already have is the other size, can it be adapted like pipe couplers?

@@Scriblerlus thanks! I will check that out
Do any of the leaf covers for gutters really work?
I have the wire mesh type on my house and they work really well.

I can’t believe they allow this sort of gutter talk on TV. 😂
