How many downspouts does my house need?

A rough rule is one downspout per 30-40 feet of gutter, more on steep or large roofs. The real number depends on roof area and pitch. If one section overflows while the rest drain fine, that run usually needs another downspout.

Where should a downspout drain to?

At least four to six feet from the foundation, onto a splash block, an extension, or into a yard drain. Dumping right next to a San Diego slab foundation can undermine it over time and feed water under the house.
