Why are underground downspout drains practical in Florence?
Underground downspout drains are practical in Florence because the lots are large enough to carry water somewhere useful. Dun-Rite Seamless Gutters, Inc. ties downspouts into buried lines for $300 to $800 per drainage run. With an acre or more to work with, the outlet can be placed well downhill of the house instead of at the property line a few feet away.
The price depends on how long the run is and how hard the trench is to dig. In Florence the difficulty is usually roots from mature trees between the house and the low ground. The custom downspouts page explains sizes and tie-ins.

Do wooded Florence lots need gutter guards?
Wooded Florence lots usually benefit from gutter guards, because the trees stand close to the house and over the roof. The right system depends on what the trees are.
| Trees over the roof | Guard | Installed price |
|---|---|---|
| Mostly pine | Fine mesh | $10 – $14 per linear foot |
| Mostly oak and hardwood | Large-hole screen | $7 – $10 per linear foot |
| Light cover, tight budget | Foam inserts | $3 – $6 per linear foot |
Guards cut trough cleaning from twice a year to about once every three to five years; details are on the gutter guard page.
What does a new gutter system cost in Florence?
A new gutter system in Florence costs $1,200 to $3,500 for most homes. Houses on larger lots tend to be longer and lower than suburban two-stories, which means more footage but simpler access, and most are finished in a day. The gutters are .032 gauge aluminum, formed on site in one piece per run.
See the seamless gutter installation page for what is included. Florence is the southernmost Rankin County town on the Dun-Rite service area list.
