Our intent is plan things out rather than just letting it happen. A detail most people won't notice is the drainage for the downspout for the gutters. It's a task that happens in the early stages of construction and if not planned out well will become a problem at the end of the project. Typically after painting is complete and landscape has started. We locate the down spouts on the roofing plan, check the elevations for conflicts at siding and trim details. We're specifically looking at the trim details around windows and outside corners. From the elevations we locate exactly where we want the downspouts located and transfer the dimensions over to the foundation plan. While the outside of the foundation is still exposed we install 3" tight lines to the downs spouts to remove the rain water from the roof and out to the street away from the building. #planning #constructiondetails #waterdamage #surfacedrainage #roofdrainage #gutters #tightlines #downspouts #foundation #details #crcbuilders (at Santa Rosa, California)
