  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
