Downspout & Gutter Drainage questions from Fallbrook customers
- Can downspouts just be run out to the street here?
- Rainwater is the one flow the County says belongs in streets and storm drains; irrigation runoff and other pollutant sources are prohibited from leaving the property. Roof water therefore sits in a different regulatory category from the rest of a yard's flow. Where no street conveyance is reachable, minor-grading standards point to the nearest practical street, storm drain or other watercourse, with erosion protection where a drain discharges onto natural ground.
- Is it a problem to dump roof water onto the grove slope below the house?
- County standards require the point at which a drainage facility discharges onto natural ground to be protected from erosion. That is not a formality on Fallbrook slopes: SSURGO map unit names in the area include Cieneba coarse sandy loam at 15 to 30 and 30 to 65 percent slopes, both carrying the eroded phase, over soils only 4 to 20 inches deep to weathered granite.
- Half our roof drains toward the uphill side where the lot is cut into the hill. Where should that water go?
- County minor-grading standards call for drainage that will not pond water on or above cut or fill slopes. On a cut lot the uphill roof plane discharges straight at that face, and the Fallbrook series carries an argillic horizon of 18 to 30 percent clay over decomposed granite at 40 to 60 inches, so what sits behind the cut is a layered profile, not uniform ground.
