Your rain gutter system requires a wide range of different parts to work efficiently, including what's known as a splash block. The anti-splash block is a device made of concrete or plastic that serves to remove water from the foundations. The anti-splash block is usually rectangular and has a closed side placed under the downspout. It also has an open side that serves to safely divert water away from the foundations of the house.
The anti-splash concrete blocks distribute the flow of water from the downspout away from the foundation. When properly installed and used, these downspout extension alternatives work reliably to carry rainwater from light rain or heavy thunderstorms away from the home. With narrow models for drier climates and wider options for areas that tend to rain heavily, splashproof concrete blocks offer a durable alternative to drain extensions. Anti-splash blocks are some of the most common solutions to this problem.
Splash blocks are located at the bottom of the downspout to help move water away from the house and the foundation. You already know what gutters and downspouts are, but what exactly is a splash block for gutters? Splash proof blocks are rectangular channels made of plastic or concrete that carry rainwater from the downspout and away from the foundations of the house.
