Our house has a downspout that falls right on the top of the main sidewalk in front of the house. When the downspout is up water spills on the sidewalk and depending on the temperature (I live in Canada) that water freezes and becomes like a sheet of ice therefore dangerous for people that come visit us, delivery man etc.. Keeping it down it is also a hazard as people may trip on it because it is right on the middle of the sidewalk.
I was thinking to move the eavesthrough and downspout so it could run along side the step but the builder said that I might have problem with drainage.
Anyone out there have any suggestion on how to solve this problem?
I have attached a couple images to show the downspout.
Thanks in advance.
