Understanding Texas Rainfall
Your roof collects more water than most homeowners realize.
Your roof collects more water than most homeowners realize.
In Texas, heavy rain doesn’t just “get things wet” — it moves thousands of gallons across your roof, and if that runoff isn’t captured and directed correctly, it’s going to find the easiest path: over the edge, into flower beds, against the foundation, under sidewalks, and into the yard.
Gutter Services
Professional Gutter Solutions You Can Count On
Below are our core services, designed for the demands of Texas weather and built to keep your home dry, safe, and looking sharp.
Your Process
At Duck Works, we look at your home like a water-flow system
Collect it
A properly sized seamless gutter system catches water cleanly and prevents spillover at the roof edge.
Direct it
Downspouts should be placed and sized so water exits where it can be managed — not dumped straight onto the foundation line.
Discharge it
What we do at the end of each downspout depends on how much roof area is feeding it and how your yard handles water.
Your roof collects more water than most homeowners realize.
In Texas, heavy rain doesn’t just “get things wet” — it moves thousands of gallons across your roof, and if that runoff isn’t captured and directed correctly, it’s going to find the easiest path: over the edge, into flower beds, against the foundation, under sidewalks, and into the yard.
At Duck Works, we look at your home like a water-flow system
- Surface-direct it with a splash block or extension when the roof area is smaller and the yard slopes away cleanly
- Move it away with a buried downspout line, yard drain, or French drain to a safe discharge point
- Store it with a rainwater harvesting system for irrigation and outdoor use
A helpful rule of thumb
1 inch of rain on 1,000 sq ft of roof = ~620 gallons.
From there, you’ve got three smart options (sometimes a combo)
- Surface-direct it with a splash block or extension when the roof area is smaller and the yard slopes away cleanly
- Move it away with a buried downspout line, yard drain, or French drain to a safe discharge point
- Store it with a rainwater harvesting system for irrigation and outdoor use
Why “water flow” matters
When runoff isn’t controlled, we commonly see:
- Foundation issues (soil saturation, shifting, cracks, erosion)
- Landscape washout (trenches, bare spots, mulch blowouts)
- Standing water (mosquito zones, soggy yards, turf loss)
- Leaky crawl spaces / water intrusion
- Stained siding and rot (especially around fascia and soffit lines)
This is why gutters and drainage aren’t “extras.” They’re the infrastructure that protects your home.
