Downspout Installation
The rain is on its way, and it needs to get off your roof and away from the foundation of your home. Gutters and downspouts work together to make this possible. While gutters collect the water running off your roof, it’s the downspouts that direct it safely away from your home’s structure.
Without properly installed downspouts, rainwater can pool around your foundation, leading to soil erosion, basement leaks, or even structural damage over time. That’s why a well-placed, correctly sized downspout is essential to a healthy drainage system. Whether you’re looking to replace an outdated downspout or install one for the first time, Perry’s Roofing is here to help. Give us a call today for services across Westchester County and the surrounding areas.
When the rain comes down, all that water will have to go somewhere. Without a functioning gutter and downspout system, it will simply flow off of the roof and gather around the foundation of your home. This is a recipe for disaster, leading to soil erosion, foundation cracks, basement leaks, and costly structural damage over time.
Not only can these problems be stressful, but they can be costly as well. A properly installed and maintained gutter system helps redirect that water safely away from your home, protecting everything from your roofline to your landscaping. It’s a simple but powerful way to prevent long-term damage and keep your home dry, safe, and standing strong through every season.

Downspouts usually aren’t the first thing we think of when it comes to protecting our homes, but they play a big role in keeping water where it belongs and preventing costly repairs. Here’s how to know if it’s time to replace yours:
Even small cracks in your downspout can become big problems over time. As water flows through, those cracks can expand—especially during freeze-thaw cycles—and cause leaks that lead to water pooling near your foundation. If you spot visible damage, it’s best to replace the downspout before it compromises your home’s drainage system.
Rust is a sign that your metal downspouts are deteriorating. Over time, exposure to moisture and debris can break down the material, leading to weak spots and holes. If you’re seeing orange or brown streaks along your downspout—or worse, flaking or pitting metal—it’s time to swap it out before it fails completely.
If you notice water collecting around the base of your home after a storm, your downspouts might not be doing their job. Whether they’re too short, clogged, or disconnected, water pooling near the foundation is a red flag. Replacing or extending your downspouts can help redirect water further away and prevent long-term foundation damage.
Over time, fasteners and brackets can loosen, especially if your downspouts are old or frequently clogged. If you see your downspout pulling away from the wall or sagging, it might be more than just a loose screw. In some cases, it’s a sign the material is warped or damaged and needs to be replaced altogether.
If your gutters are in good shape but still overflow during heavy rain, your downspouts might not be draining water fast enough. This could be due to clogs, poor design, or simply an outdated system that can’t keep up. Replacing your downspouts with properly sized, well-placed ones can make all the difference in keeping water away from your home.
Your gutters and downspouts are a team; they work together to push water away from the foundation of your home so it can’t cause water damage to your property. That’s why we offer comprehensive solutions for both.
Perry’s Roofing is here to help with it all. Our goal is to help protect your home from leaks, erosion, and costly repairs with reliable service you can count on season after season. Beyond downspout installation, we offer a variety of gutter and downspout services, such as:
Correctly installed downspouts can be the difference between a dry, protected home and thousands of dollars in water damage. Without proper drainage, rainwater pools around your foundation, leading to basement leaks, cracked walls, and landscape erosion. Investing in professional downspout installation ensures water is directed safely away from your home, minimizing the risk of major structural repairs. It’s a simple service that can prevent incredibly expensive problems down the line.
A roof is more than just the layers of shingles that sit on top of your home; it’s a comprehensive system that works together with your gutters and downspouts to protect everything underneath. When one part of that system isn’t working properly, your home becomes vulnerable to all types of damage, from roof leaks and interior water stains to foundation issues and landscape erosion.
That’s why it’s so important to work with a company that understands how these systems connect. At Perry’s Roofing, we take a whole-home approach to exterior protection. Whether you need a new roof, seamless gutters, downspout replacements, or all of the above, our team is here to deliver quality craftsmanship and long-lasting results you can trust.

Loved our experience with Perry’s Roofing (Pleasantville, NY). Thorough communication, everything in writing, promises kept, and they don’t abandon job until it’s done. Manager on site the whole time. Huge crew so they could complete in one day and removed dumpster when they left. Smooth from start to finish and now I have a beautiful roof with no heartache. I highly recommend.
