All Gutter Systems is the expert when it comes to ditch and drain tile. We have been serving the West Michigan area for 20 years.

After Gutters and Downspouts capture the rain water, it is important to disperse it into the ground, or divert it to an area that can handle it, all while protecting your landscape.

AGS uses 10 foot of solid pipe, followed by a socked pipe that allows water to disperse. We have the tools and knowledge to complete even the most difficult drain tile jobs.

International Code Council - International Residential Code 2006

Ch. 8 Roof-Ceiling Construction: Section R801

R801.3 Roof Drainage

“In areas where expansive or collapsible soils are known to exist, all dwellings shall have a controlled method of water disposal from roofs that will collect and discharge roof drainage to the ground surface at least 5 feet (1524 mm) from foundation walls or to an approved drainage system.”

International Residential Code 2000 Commentary - Vol. 1

“Saturated expansive or collapsible soils can lead to foundation failures because their additional loads are imposed on the foundation wall. To minimize the potential for the soil adjacent to the foundation wall to become saturated due to roof drainage, the code requires that the roof drain 5 feet (1524 mm) from the foundation.”

Ch. 4 Foundations: Section R401.3

R401.3 Drainage

“Surface drainage shall be diverted to a storm sewer conveyance or other approved point of collection so as to not create a hazard. Lots shall be graded to drain surface water away from foundation walls. The grade shall fall a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) within the first 10 feet (3048 mm).”
