Exterior construction in El Paso, Texas

01

More than half of El Paso’s annual rainfall can arrive during monsoon season. That is the single most important fact about drainage here, and it is why "it barely rains in the desert" is the most expensive assumption a homeowner in this city can make.

02

The Franklin Mountains split the city and concentrate runoff into arroyos that cross developed neighborhoods. Roof drainage is a small part of a much larger water story, but it is the part directly against your foundation.

03

Stucco and flat or low-slope roofs are common across large parts of the city, and many drain through canales that throw water straight down an exterior wall. Converting that to controlled drainage is often a bigger improvement than anything done to the gutters themselves.
