There are some bad areas outside the house, with the concreet pavement

fix it easily to try...

That certanly sounds like A problem. When my cement trough at the
bottom of a downspout fell backwards so it sloped towards the house, I
had a wet piece of sheetrock for a couple years.

Didn't do it any good. And I have to cut off the ruined 6 or 8
inches and replace it. It's in a corner of the room behind the
fireplace and below a chair so no one sees it, but I know it's there.

When I put rocks under the trough, the area inside dried up (I think).
And the trough is only ?? 16 or 18 inches long.
