Where your downspouts discharge matters as much as the gutters themselves. Here is the Evanston guide.
The problem
Downspouts that dump water next to the foundation saturate the soil and stress the basement.
The fix
Extensions or buried lines carry the water several feet away, downhill from the house.
The pairing
Downspout drainage works with a French drain or a sump system.
The call
Keep the foundation dry. Call 888-217-3585 and Evanston Plumbing Helpers will match you with an Evanston pro.
