Shared Gutter Drainage With Neighbor Looks a Mess – DIY Fix Ideas?
(Reshare from r/home) Hey folks, I could really use your advice! I share a gutter drainage system with my neighbor, and honestly… it looks like a hot mess. The downspouts are all over the place, water pools in weird areas, and I’m worried some of it might be seeping under the concrete near my foundation. Not good. I’d love to clean it up and do some kind of DIY fix to get the water flowing better and away from both our houses. I’m not trying to get into a huge project or spend a ton, but I do want something effective that looks neat and protects the foundation. Any tips on: • Best way to redirect shared gutter water? • DIY-friendly materials or setups? • Preventing water from going under the concrete? • Dealing with a neighbor’s part of the system (without causing drama)? Photos or product recs would be super helpful too. Appreciate any ideas—thanks in advance! submitted by /u/sexysimone89 [link] [comments]
