Downspout Replacement Project
For this project, the Metalguard team replaced old cast iron downspouts with new PVC pipe.
In large industrial buildings the transfer of water through the building to the drainage systems is just as important as having a properly functioning roof.
In this building there are 7 internal gutters that are 9,700 feet in length. The internal PVC pipes transfer the roof water to the interior drainage system.
These are some pictures from the project.
