Professional Downspout Extension Installation in Mount Prospect, IL

Downspout Extensions in Mount Prospect, IL – Move Roof Runoff Away From Your Home

Short downspouts dump roof runoff right next to your foundation, where it can seep into your basement or erode the soil around your home. At A&N Outdoor Services, we install downspout extensions in Mount Prospect, IL and nearby areas that carry that water further into the yard, protecting your foundation and your landscaping.

Why Downspout Extensions Matter

Roof runoff contributes heavily to yard flooding. Most downspouts only carry water a foot or two away from the house, which usually means it just drains back toward the foundation instead of away from it.

We install downspout extensions that redirect roof runoff from your gutters and downspouts away from your home’s foundation, preventing basement leaks and erosion. Extensions can run buried below the surface or along the surface, depending on your yard, and pair well with other drainage work like French drains or grading.

Beyond foundation damage, water that keeps draining back toward the house creates standing puddles that attract mosquitoes, saturates soil enough to suffocate grass and plant roots, and gradually wears down concrete and pavers near the home. A properly routed extension stops all of it at the source instead of treating the symptoms one at a time.

What our process looks like: we walk the property to see where your downspouts currently drain and how the yard slopes, then plan extensions that carry water to a spot where it can actually soak in or run off safely, not just further down the same low spot. Where it makes sense, we tie the new piping into existing drainage work already on the property so everything moves water in the same direction instead of fighting itself.

What's Included

Rigid or flexible extension piping tied into your existing downspouts
Routing designed around your yard’s slope so water drains away, not back toward the house
Buried or surface options depending on your landscaping
Can be paired with French drains, grading, or catch basins

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently moved into our home, and the yard needed quite a bit of attention, including trimming and removing dead branches and bushes, along with several other landscaping projects. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with A&N!

Niko was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, taking the time to walk through each section of our property to understand our needs and help us prioritize the work. The entire team was responsive to our questions, communicative, and transparent from start to finish. We also appreciated the flexibility to phase in the work over time, which made the process much more manageable and budget-friendly.

We’re very happy with how everything looks and it’s been a pleasure working with a team that is professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We would absolutely recommend A&N to anyone looking for landscaping services, and we’ll certainly be working with them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hired A&N for a lawn restoration project. Their prices were reasonable, the communication throughout the process was great, and they always took the time to answer any questions I had. They did a quality job, and when there was a small hiccup (my pop up emitter was buried), they came out quickly to resolve it. I highly recommend A&N!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be happier with the work A&N Outdoors did on our backyard renovation! They transformed our entire backyard: from removing our old patio to installing a new concrete patio and gazebo to fresh sod, a shed, and a new fence installation. They also arranged for our AC to be relocated and electrical outlets to be installed in the gazebo.

The entire team worked incredibly hard, was always on time, and was very friendly and approachable. They were always happy to answer our questions, and the quality of their work was excellent. The gazebo installation, resod, and all the other details came together beautifully. All the subcontractors we worked with were wonderful too.

A special thank you to Nico, who did a fantastic job coordinating all the subcontractors, permits, and logistics. Everything was so well organized so we didn't have to worry about a thing. The office staff were also extremely responsive and helpful whenever we had questions.

The aftercare has been exceptional! The team followed up multiple times to see how everything was going and whether we had any issues. Whenever we brought something to their attention, they were happy to arrange a visit to check it out. It’s reassuring to know that the support doesn’t stop once the project is finished!

We can't recommend A&N Outdoors enough to anyone in the area looking to transform their outdoor space. They did an amazing job from start to finish!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve never hired an outside landscaper before. It’s something I’ve always been hesitant about because it’s difficult to envision what the finished product will actually look like.

I finally decided to take the chance with A&N, and honestly, I was blown away by the results.

They did a fantastic job — period. They went above and beyond with their service, attention to detail, and execution. Both our front and back yards turned out so great that it genuinely feels like we have a new home.

I also want to give a very specific shoutout to JORGE. He was incredibly easy to work with, professional from start to finish, and clearly someone who takes ownership and is genuinely proud of the work he does. That makes a huge difference.

Jorge is a top-tier lead for A&N, and I would absolutely recommend working with him.

I’ll definitely be using A&N again for a much bigger project, as well as ongoing maintenance. Great work, great service, and an even better experience than I expected.

Thank you to the entire A&N team — and especially Jorge — for exceeding my expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my downspouts need extensions?

Most downspouts only carry water a foot or two away from the house, which usually means it just drains back toward the foundation. Extending them routes that runoff further into the yard, away from your home.

Will downspout extensions work with my existing drainage?

Yes. We often combine downspout extensions with French drains, grading, or catch basins for a complete drainage solution.

How do I know if I need a downspout extension?

If you see water pooling near your foundation after rain, or your downspout empties within a couple feet of the house, that’s the usual sign. It’s an easy thing to check the next time it rains.

Will the extension be buried or visible?

Either, depending on your yard and preference. We can run it buried below the surface so it’s out of sight, or along the surface when that works better for your landscaping.

Can downspout extensions help with basement flooding?

Yes, when the flooding is coming from roof runoff that’s draining back toward the foundation instead of away from it. We’ll look at where your water is actually coming from before recommending the fix.
