Gutters & Yard Drainage in Buffalo, NY

Buffalo's housing stock includes many homes built before World War II, including doubles, bungalows and Victorians on stone or brick foundations. Older mortar, clay sewer laterals and tight lots make basement water and foundation work a common project in the city. Heavy lake-effect snow loads and ice dams are hard on gutters in the Southtowns and other snow-belt areas, and clay soils mean water that pools near the house tends to find its way into the basement. Check that every downspout discharges several feet from the foundation.
