Drainage fixes that protect the foundation

Downspouts & Drainage Correction in Greater Seattle

A gutter can be technically intact and still fail the house if the water exits in the wrong place. When runoff is pooling near the foundation, splashing back on the siding, or eroding one side of the lot, the real problem is usually the downspout path.

Why Homeowners Hire This

This service exists to stop a small water problem from becoming a construction problem.

Homeowners are not hiring drainage correction because they love downspouts. They are hiring it because water is ending up where it should never end up: against the foundation, across walkways, or back toward crawl space walls after every storm.

What to expect from ProCraft

We trace where the water is actually going, not where the hardware suggests it should go.

You get a simple explanation of the fix: reroute, extend, reset discharge, or pair the change with gutter repair.

We run water through the corrected path before we leave so the result is visible, not theoretical.

What It Involves

What we are actually fixing when this problem shows up.

Short or misdirected downspout exits dumping water beside the house instead of away from it.

Extensions, elbows, and slope transitions that back up during long rain cycles.

Foundation-side pooling that looks like a grading problem but starts with the gutter discharge.

Service Areas

We also serve these Seattle-area locations

If this service is the fit, these are the cities and submarkets where we handle the same problem with the same crew and process.

Seattle

Steep rooflines, older housing stock, and heavy fir canopy make Seattle a drainage city, not just a gutter city.

Bellevue

Bellevue jobs are about curb appeal, HOA expectations, and clean execution that still solves the real drainage problem.

Kirkland

Kirkland mixes mature tree cover, waterfront exposure, and homeowners who want a clean result without contractor drama.

Redmond

Redmond combines suburban rooflines, HOA communities, and heavy tree debris that can turn a small weakness into repeat overflow.

Bothell

Bothell is a mix of rapid-growth neighborhoods and 1980s-90s homes reaching the age where original gutter systems start to drift.

Lynnwood

Lynnwood has older housing stock, heavy leaf debris, and runoff issues that do not always look serious from the street.

Shoreline

Shoreline is dense tree canopy, older homes, and west-facing exposure that punishes loose joints fast.

Tacoma

Tacoma means older fascia, steeper rooflines, and historic homes where quiet drainage failure gets expensive fast.

Sammamish

Sammamish is newer construction, HOA-heavy neighborhoods, and plateau drainage patterns that make runoff direction a real issue.

Issaquah

Issaquah gets heavier tree debris and more consequential drainage paths because mountain proximity changes both rainfall feel and runoff behavior.

Gig Harbor

Gig Harbor adds coastal exposure and salt air to the usual PNW gutter equation, which changes how hardware ages over time.

FAQ

Questions about downspouts & drainage

These are the questions homeowners usually ask when they are trying to separate a real fix from a sales pitch.

Can bad drainage cause water pooling even if the gutters are not leaking?

Yes. A perfectly sound gutter still fails if the downspout dumps water too close to the house. In those cases the problem is not containment. It is where runoff goes after it leaves the system.

Do I need a full drainage project to fix pooling?

Not always. Many problems come down to downspout location, discharge length, or a simple reroute. We start with the least invasive fix that actually moves water away from the structure.

Can this be combined with gutter repair or replacement?

Yes. In fact, it often should be. A new gutter system or a repaired run still underperforms if the discharge path is wrong.
