AmericanWhat is a "downspout"?
A downspout is a pipe or tube that carries rainwater from a building's gutter to the ground or a drainage system. It is usually attached to the side of a building and directs water away from the foundation to prevent flooding or damage. Downspouts are often made of materials like metal or plastic and can be shaped in various ways to fit the building's design. Proper installation and maintenance of downspouts are important for effective water drainage and to protect the building's exterior.
Example
The heavy rain caused the downspout to overflow, leading to water pooling around the foundation.
A forte chuva causou o deságue a transbordar, levando a água a se acumular ao redor da fundação.
He climbed up the ladder to clean out the leaves blocking the downspout.
