The downspout takes the water from the gutter and down to the drainage pipe or splash block on the ground ...

CONT

Rain and melted snow on the roof are collected by the eavestroughs and channeled to the ground by downspouts. These downspouts are then connected to an extension pipe or splash pad which carries the rainwater away from the house, ensuring that it does not soak into the ground close to your house.
