Expert downspout tie-ins for Old Westbury homeowners. Estate community, large lots, high-value projects
Downspout tie-ins are one of the most impactful and affordable drainage improvements for Long Island homes. By connecting your roof gutter downspouts to underground piping that directs water away from your foundation, a downspout tie-in eliminates the concentrated discharge that causes foundation damage, basement flooding, soil erosion, and landscape destruction. Brothers Paving & Masonry installs downspout tie-in systems across Nassau and Suffolk County that permanently solve the problems caused by uncontrolled roof runoff.
A typical Long Island home with a two-thousand-square-foot roof generates over twelve hundred gallons of water from just one inch of rainfall. Without tie-ins, that water dumps directly against the foundation through the downspouts, saturating the surrounding soil and creating hydrostatic pressure, erosion, standing water in planting beds, and winter ice hazards. A downspout tie-in intercepts the water at the base of each downspout and routes it through sealed underground PVC piping to a dry well, municipal storm connection, or daylight outlet well away from the house.
Our installation begins with an assessment of your gutter system, downspout locations, and existing drainage conditions. We map the optimal pipe routes, determine correct pipe sizing based on contributing roof area, then excavate narrow trenches and install solid PVC piping at a minimum pitch of one-eighth inch per foot for reliable gravity flow. Each downspout connects through a sealed adapter with a debris screen to keep the line clear. For homes with multiple downspouts, we consolidate flows where practical to minimize piping and excavation. Long Island's high water table, varied soil conditions, and freeze-thaw cycles all factor into our design: dry wells are sized for adequate groundwater separation, piping is installed below the frost line, and all bedding material is compacted to prevent shifting in saturated sandy soils.
Old Westbury is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Old Westbury is synonymous with Long Island luxury, defined by sprawling multi-acre estates set behind gated entries along winding roads like Store Hill Road and Wheatley Road. This Gold Coast village is home to Old Westbury Gardens, a historic estate open to the public, and the campus of SUNY Old Westbury. Properties here routinely feature long private driveways, motor courts, and extensive hardscaped entertaining areas that require expert installation and maintenance. The village's two-acre minimum lot sizes mean that paving and masonry projects are substantial in scale, from grand paver motor courts to custom retaining walls that navigate the rolling terrain. Brothers Paving has the experience and equipment to handle Old Westbury's large-format projects, delivering meticulous results that meet the expectations of this ultra-premium market.

Old Westbury's sprawling estate properties feature some of the longest residential driveways in Nassau County, often requiring phased paving projects to manage scope and cost. The terrain gently undulates across the transition between the Hempstead Plain and the North Shore moraine, with soils ranging from sandy loam to heavy glacial clay. Grand entry gates, stone pillars, and perimeter walls are common masonry features that need periodic repointing to withstand Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles.
