Direct Rainwater Away From the Home
New gutters should be planned around the roof edges, drainage paths and appropriate outlets. A correctly designed system helps collect roof runoff and channel it into downspouts instead of allowing water to spill over walkways, siding or areas near the foundation. Dallas storms can deliver heavy rain in short bursts, and runoff that collects beside the slab adds to moisture swings in the area's expansive clay soil, so downspout count and discharge points matter. If runoff continues to collect at ground level, a separate drainage evaluation may be necessary.
