Rain Gutters

[DebiG]

I recently hard of a new construction home with the rain gutters drain goes through the home then out at the bottom near the foundation to drain into a garden or drain (so you do not see the drain pipe run down the side of a home) do you know how to install these types? My main question is the angle that you would enter the structure and the angle that it would come out.

I would imagine you would go in at a 45 degree and out at a 45. I'm sure it's a clean look but it sounds like trouble to me. What happens if the pipe gets plogged up with debri inside the wall? The pipes are probably glued abs or pvc so the probability of leaks is slim, but I still dont like the idea of running gutters into and through a wall.

Geesh I totally missed this post too. Welcome to the forum kinger.. I agree with you. Whenever you run something like that back into the house there is a chance of problems. The whole idea of gutters is to get water away from the house - not back into it :)

LOL In 5 years DebiG is going to be back asking how to remove the thing from her house!
