Gutters and Drainage in Round Rock, Texas

What this shows: A short Round Rock video on how much runoff one inch of rain makes and how clogs, sagging gutters and poor discharge send water over the edge. It belongs here because it shows the full drainage route this page explains.

A roof is a collection surface. One inch of rain falling on 2,000 square feet of roof is about 1,250 gallons of water, and all of it leaves at the edges. Gutters and downspouts exist to carry that water somewhere harmless, and they only work as a complete route. A clog, a sagging section or a gutter pitched the wrong way sends water over the edge onto fascia and siding. A downspout that empties against the foundation moves the problem to the ground instead of solving it. The useful check follows the water from the roof edge to the gutter, into the downspout and out to where it discharges, and asks where it actually ends up.
