Tell us what your gutters need once, and a participating local company gets back to you.
Most downspout trouble takes a few familiar forms. Leaves, seed pods and shingle grit wash out of the gutter and lodge in the elbows. Pieces pull apart at the gutter outlet or where two lengths meet. Wall straps loosen, and the bottom elbow gets flattened by a mower, a trash can or a stray foot.
A rainstorm tells you which problem you have. When the gutter spills over next to the outlet while the downspout barely trickles, there’s a clog. When water sheets down the siding or pours into the bed beside the house partway down, a joint has come apart.
Getting this right matters in Decatur. When it adopted a new stormwater master plan in December 2020, the city described the drainage in most residential neighborhoods as limited, older and not designed to modern standards, and said ponding and flooding turn up in many neighborhoods during big storms. That makes it all the more worth sending the water off your own roof somewhere it can soak in.
A downspout’s work doesn’t end at ground level. Water left at the base of the house saturates the ground beside the foundation and may seep into a basement or crawlspace. Guidance varies on the distance: at least 4 feet out, per This Old House, or at least 5, per the Building America guide from the Department of Energy.
The volume is bigger than it looks. Using the U.S. Geological Survey’s figure of 27,154 gallons for an inch of rain on an acre, each inch that falls on 1,000 square feet of roof comes to roughly 620 gallons. At the roughly 50 inches a year that NOAA’s normals give Atlanta’s airport, that patch of roof sheds some 31,000 gallons annually, and all of it has to go somewhere.
An extension, either an added length of downspout or a flexible pipe, moves the outflow farther from the wall. A splash block under the outlet spreads the stream so it won’t carve a pit, and ground sloped away from the house helps either option. Aim for a spot where water can soak in or drain away, not a walkway or a neighbor’s foundation.
Decatur’s July 2021 green infrastructure guide for single-family homes leans the same way. It describes disconnecting a downspout so its water fans out across the lawn to slow down and sink in, dry wells fed straight from a downspout, and rain gardens reached by downspout extensions, and it asks that runoff be pointed away from neighboring buildings. Those measures are required only for a new home, or an addition or rebuild with over 500 square feet of impervious surface, not for a downspout repair, but the ideas suit any lot.
Inside the city limits, a stormwater utility set up in 1999 maintains Decatur’s pipes, culverts and inlets. Homeowners pay for it through a yearly fee on the property tax bill, sized by how much roofed and paved surface the lot has, so the roof that feeds your downspouts is part of what you’re billed for.
You may hear that the city forbids runoff across sidewalks and streets. Its code does bar concentrated stormwater from flowing across streets, sidewalks and other public improvements, but that requirement belongs to the rules for new development and redevelopment, not to the downspouts on a house that’s already standing. Even so, an extension aimed at the sidewalk puts water where people walk, so point it into the yard.
Thousands of properties with a Decatur mailing address lie outside the city in unincorporated DeKalb County, where the city’s stormwater rules and fees don’t apply. DeKalb runs its own stormwater utility, in place since 2004, which charges single-family homes $120 a year as of 2025. By the city’s count, roughly 99% of homes inside Decatur use the 30030 ZIP code, so with another ZIP or a four-digit house number, there’s a fair chance you’re in the county instead.
On some lots, downspouts empty into buried pipe rather than onto the ground. Ask whether the company will check a buried line, say by feeding a hose into it to see where the water surfaces, and whether it works below ground or only above. Before tying a downspout into a drain or a new dry well, ask Decatur’s permitting office, 404-377-6198, or the county’s if you’re outside the city, whether a permit applies. Get a written quote naming each fix and any new downspout size or extension length, and ask for proof of liability insurance, since SirGutters goes by each company’s website and doesn’t vet licenses or insurance.
These figures are national ranges drawn from cost guides, not quotes. No guide breaks out Decatur, and a company sets your price after seeing the downspouts and where they drain.
| Work | Typical range | Per |
|---|---|---|
| Downspout repaired (loose, dented or disconnected) | $100–$300 | per job |
| Clogged downspout cleared, added to a cleaning | $50–$100 | per job |
| Downspout replaced | $8–$28 | per foot |
| Downspouts installed | $4–$40 | per foot |

Work on buried drain pipe isn’t in the table, so have it priced separately if you need it. The height of the house and the length of each downspout also change the price.
Plain answers to what homeowners ask before they hire anyone.
Call (478) 606‑6430No cost guide prices Decatur on its own, so begin with the national ranges above. Some companies charge a minimum for any visit, cost guides point out, which can make a small fix pricier than its labor. Ask about any minimum when you call.
Look during a steady rain. A gutter overflowing near its outlet while the downspout only dribbles means something is stuck, often in an elbow. A company can flush the line from above with a hose to locate the blockage and clear it.
The city’s downspout-related stormwater measures that SirGutters found apply to new homes, large additions and redevelopment, not to repairing downspouts on an existing house. If you’re building or adding on, ask the city’s permit office at 404-377-6198 what it will expect. Outside the city limits, DeKalb County’s rules apply instead.
SirGutters couldn’t confirm that it does. Decatur’s code allows credits of up to 40% of the fee for on-site systems that reduce runoff, and DeKalb County offers up to 40% for detention, water-quality and green infrastructure projects, but neither source says whether rerouting a downspout or adding a rain barrel qualifies. Ask the city or county before building anything for that reason.
They can be when the gutter keeps up but the downspout can’t. By the sizing chart This Old House publishes, a 3-by-4-inch downspout serves about 1,200 square feet of roof, double the roughly 600 that a 2-by-3-inch one handles. Adding another downspout along a long run is a second fix.
A loose or detached downspout can usually be refastened. A length that’s been flattened, cracked or rusted out usually gets swapped for a new piece, and the table above gives typical per-foot prices. On an older house in one of the city’s historic districts, ask about matching the existing shape, since the 1997 design supplement the city relies on recommends plain round downspouts.
