Gutters & Yard Drainage in Amherst, NY

Amherst, including Williamsville, Eggertsville and East Amherst, has a mix of postwar and newer homes. Parts of the town have heavy clay soils and a high water table, so drainage, sump pumps and foundation movement come up often. Heavy lake-effect snow loads and ice dams are hard on gutters in the Southtowns and other snow-belt areas, and clay soils mean water that pools near the house tends to find its way into the basement. Check that every downspout discharges several feet from the foundation.
