As I ride my bicycle to and from work, I notice that many folks have 50-foot extension on the sump discharge pipes. I have the same thing on mine. What I find curious is that many have no extension or small 3-4 ft extensions on the down spouts for their roof gutters. My down spout extensions are about 15 feet.
Simple question, am I unnecessarily worrying about 1-2 thousand gallons coming off of my roof during a downpour? Should I make my extension longer or shorter? I think I know the answer, but thought I would find out what folks in this forum do and think.
