Rear porch column with
downspout inside
Contractor -
Janal Heating

Framer: structural post was placed at
the corner of the the
basement wall as per architectural drawings

Framer: to create column structural
post was covered by
plywood.
Janal Heating: Outside surface of the
column is covered with copper

Janal Heating: Outside Column
surface is covered by copper

Janal Heating: To create waterproofing
sealing stuff was placed
along the copper edge, i.e. copper was glued
to the concrete

Janal Heating: PVC downspout is
installed inside the column
On the column you can see top and bottom
white PVC pipe

Janal Heating: You may see
joint PVC pipe with the metal pipe,
which come from Janal heating gutter,
Said metal pipe and all two joints was
made by Janal Heating
Rein water comes to the
basement floor following way:
1. From the gutter to the small metal 2" pipe
(made by Janal Heating)
2. Via metal pipe and PVC downspout joint
(made by Janal Heating)
3. Down along PVC downspout (made by Janal
Heating)
4. 99% of said water flashes out the
column...
5. About 1% of said water leaks into the
column and finds its hidden way
along the inner surface of the basement wall
6. After that water spreads under the
hardwood floor all over its area
As far as I disconnected PVC downspout from
the gutter water leakage stopped
and never appear again despite several heavy
reins and showers
