Besides being Functional and Aesthetic, rain chain downspouts<\/a> actually have quite a few benefits that you probably haven’t even thought about.<\/p>

Besides being one of the most popular rain gutter accessories, they also have 7 benefits that come straight from the mouths of those people who have installed rain chains as well as professionals who work with gutter systems.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Functional Benefits of Rain Chain Downspouts<\/span><\/h2>

1. Protect your home from water intrusion<\/h3>

\"protectAs with any gutter downspout, the entire purpose is to keep water away from the foundation and the walls of your home. The rain comes off your roof into the gutter which then channels the water through your downspout and away from your home and the foundation.<\/p>

Here in Florida, we get some really good rain storms and just having the rain chains is not enough to keep the rain away from the home. Just as\u00a0regular downspouts have extensions your rain chains should have a basin, rain barrel or maybe even a fountain at the end of it. This way you will ensure the water stays away from the foundation and the walls of your home.<\/p>

2. Helps to avoid clogged downspouts<\/h3>

Because of the way these rain chains are installed it helps cut down on clogged downspouts. If you think about it the regular downspouts that are installed on homes are basically a tube of sorts that carry the water from the roof to the gutter to the downspout. Well, what happens when leaves, pine needles, and debris get inside the gutter? It’s washed into the downspout and if there is too much at once it will become clogged.<\/p>

With Rain chains, there is an opening that is left after you install the chains. This way if any leaves, pine needles or debris fall into the gutter the rain will cause it to go through that opening causing nothing to clog.<\/p>

3. They are Earth Friendly<\/h3>

\"earthWhen you install your Rain Chains you have the ability to capture the water in many different ways such as a rain basin<\/strong>, birdbath, a fountain or even a large rain barrel. When you capture it in a rain barrel<\/strong> you can then use this water for household needs, watering your grass and garden or even filling up your pool.<\/p>

In doing the research I found that many communities, especially up north are making their homeowners actually disconnect their downspouts from combined sewers and start using a rain barrel<\/strong> or rain garden to collect the water.<\/p>

I guess if you’re being forced to disconnect your downspout you should just replace it with a rain chain and divert the water to the rain barrel or a fountain. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>

4. Super easy installation<\/h3>

The installation of rain chains<\/a> is so simple that even I could do it. Now I know you don’t know me but let’s just say that putting anything together I always seem to do it wrong or something always messes up. But with these rain chains, it was as simple as taking down the old downspout and adding the little hook that comes with them to the downspout attachment and that was it.<\/p>

The Aesthetic Benefits of Rain Chain Downspouts<\/span><\/h2>

5. More attractive than regular downspouts<\/h3>

\"rainLet’s face it, those regular downspouts are not that great to look at unless of course, you have a decorative gutter downspout extension like this one. They serve their purpose and that’s it.<\/p>

With Rain Chain downspouts you have a variety of different styles you can choose from such as cup styles or chain links. Even within these styles, you have so many different designs that you can choose from such as butterfly, lily and even fish cup rain chains.<\/p>

6. They soothe the soul and are nice to look at and daydream<\/h3>

Something about the sound of a cascading waterfall always seems to put my mind at rest. I love the sound of rain anyway but the sound these rain chains put off are completely soothing,<\/p>

Oh, and watching the water cascade from cup to cup can be quite mesmerizing and put you to sleep real quick.<\/p>
