If you look along residential homes, you will notice the gutters of the home, which are the horizontal tubes along the end of the roof. At the end of the gutter, there is a downspout. The downspout does exactly what its name entails. It is the vertical tube connected to the gutter that directs the water away from the house. You will notice that the end of the downspout is not pointed toward the home, but in a direction where the water can flow out and away from the house. Depending on the home, the downspout can be anywhere, but it is generally towards the driveway, in order for the water to go easily down the concrete and not flood the grass around your home.
