Common Issues Homeowners Face With Gutters and Downspouts

Homeowners may encounter several challenges if their guttering and downspout system is missing splash blocks, including:

• Flooding: Water pooling around your foundation or saturating the soil can seep into your basement area, causing flooding.
• Erosion: If you don’t have a concrete gutter splash block, your foundation and the surrounding landscaping will eventually suffer from water erosion, costing you money in the long run.
• Mold and mildew: Standing water or seepage into your crawl space can eventually cause mildew and mold to grow as well as create a breeding ground for bacteria and insects.
• Landscape damage: During heavy storms, undirected water can damage your yard, drowning plants and washing away dirt.

The Advantages of Our Concrete Splash Blocks

You may be wondering — why do I need a splash block in the first place? A concrete gutter splash guard offers a range of benefits, including the following:

• Proper drainage: Water must channel efficiently away from the base of the house to protect your foundation. A downspout splash guard will help channel water in the direction you want it to go so you can avoid the damage and expense of foundation issues as well as prevent flooding, erosion and standing water.
• Stain elimination: Without a downspout splash guard, water pouring out of a gutter system can splatter mud all over the side of your home. The resulting stains are ugly, and they can also damage your siding over time.
• Attractiveness: Concrete splash blocks are nice additions to home exteriors for their attractiveness. They can serve as décor, complementing other landscaping and hardscaping in your yard.
• Sustainability: Concrete is a sustainable material because of its energy efficiency in production and long life cycle. It can also be recycled when the time comes.

Our exclusive concrete splash blocks are ideal for use under gutters. They are made from high-strength concrete and won’t blow away but last for years with no maintenance. When you choose a splash block for each of your downspouts, you’ll enjoy the benefits listed above — plus more!

Concrete Downspout Splash Blocks That Last

We manufacture our concrete gutter splash block products with 8,500-psi concrete to meet the highest quality and durability standards with a maximum of 6% absorption rate. Purchasing concrete splash guards is a long-term solution. They can withstand harsh weather conditions for years as they channel water away from your home or business, saving you money on maintenance and repairs over time.

You can find low-cost plastic splash guards, but these alternatives come with all sorts of issues, not the least of which is their propensity to blow away. They also may not perform as expected because they aren’t designed for your foundation or downspout, so they may be ill-fitting or direct water poorly.

Get a quality, long-term solution by choosing concrete splash blocks from Nitterhouse Masonry Products.

Sizing Options

No matter what you’re searching for, you’ll find both high-quality products and outstanding customer service when you shop at Nitterhouse Masonry Products. When you’re searching for concrete splash guards, you’ll also find different size options, including:

• 2-foot concrete splash block: A 24-inch splash block is the smallest of our downspout splash guards. This product weighs 55 pounds and will fit into smaller spaces in flower beds or near sidewalks. If you prefer to hide the concrete material, you can easily disguise this size with small shrubs. The shorter base is sufficiently capable of directing water away from your home.
• 3-foot concrete splash block: If you have slightly more room, install a 36-inch splash block that can retain more water. This 93-pound concrete guard can accommodate a prominent gutter that channels more water. The added length can distribute water even farther away from a building’s foundation.

Choose the size that best meets your specific needs, and rest assured that you’re getting a splash guard solution that’s going to stand up against the elements and perform durably over the long term. Both widths and heights are 11.5″ w x 2-3/4″ h.
