The present invention is a gutter system comprising at least a gutter section and one or more downspout sections. It may further incorporate one or more elbow sections. Each of the gutter, downspout and elbow sections may incorporate at least one see-through section. Such see-through sections allow for the monitoring of the rainwater flow and debris in the gutter system. This monitoring facilitates detection of the exact spot of where debris collects in the gutter system, so that blockages in the gutter system can be predicted and prevented, debris build-up in the gutter system can be cleaned, and the gutter system can be repaired. Rainwater runoff can flow through the gutter system, and unnecessary cleaning of the gutter system, and the cost thereof, can be avoided. The elbow sections may incorporate an access port for access to the interior of the elbow, to permit the removal of debris therefrom.

A downspout extension assembly includes an elbow having a first tubular body, an inlet and an outlet, the outlet at an angle of less than 180 degrees relative to the inlet, and a pair of connectors integrally formed with the first tubular body, positioned on opposite sides of the elbow's outlet. A downspout extension comprises a second tubular body having first and second ends. The first end includes a cutout in an upper wall of the second tubular body and a pair of apertures corresponding to the elbow's connectors. The elbow and the downspout extension are each manufactured of a semi-rigid, resilient material. The downspout extension is releasably mounted to the elbow by inserting a free end of each elbow connector through a corresponding aperture of the downspout extension to rotatably mount the downspout extension to the elbow. The downspout extension rotates between a storage position and a deployed position.

A universal fit flexible tree trunk guard fabricated from a medium to high density silicone rubber material for protecting the trunk of a tree or an ornamental shrub from strikes from lawn care equipment or from interactions with wildlife. A plurality of hole members are provided along the upper and lower edges of the trunk guard. This rectangular sheet can then be wrapped around the trunk, the diameter of the thus-formed cylinder adjusted to fit the tree or ornamental shrub to be protected. Mechanical fastening means can then be used, at registering hole members, to secure the trunk guard in a cylindrical form. Additionally, the interior surface, i.e. the surface that is facing the trunk of the tree or ornamental shrub, can be provided with a plurality of spaced bosses that maintain an air space between the surface of the tree trunk and the trunk guard.

A pivotable downspout extension system includes an adapter coupleable to a fixed-position downspout, an extension arm pivotally coupled to the adapter, the extension arm having a housing having counterweight apertures, counterweights configured to be received within the counterweight apertures, and a water channel extending from the housing, the water channel forming a pocket where the water channel joins the housing. The water channel remains substantially vertical until water weight exceeds the weight of the counterweights and causes the water channel to pivot and release water.

An extension apparatus for rainwater downspouts comprising a multi-piece, articulated extension device that is attachable to the lowermost portion of a rainwater downspout. The apparatus includes a pivotable joint for articulate movement around the joint. The apparatus further includes elastic members on the apparatus side panels to return the apparatus to an original, resting position after articulation.

A drainage system, comprising a collector which is arranged to collect liquid and a drainage pipe having a pipe inlet that opens into the collector such that liquid collected by the collector drains through the pipe inlet. The drainage pipe is provided with a vent spaced away from the pipe inlet. The vent is arranged such that, when liquid collected by the collector occludes the pipe inlet, liquid flowing through the drainage pipe draws air into the drainage pipe through the vent.
