A gutter downspout extension, extruded from a medium to high density silicone rubber material for diverting water from a foundation of a structure. The silicone rubber material has a sufficient density to resist abrasion or cutting by filament line weed trimmers. The silicone rubber material has sufficient elasticity to allow the end of the downspout extension to be stretched over the end of a gutter downspout.

A drainage system for a side of a building includes a channel, a channel adapter, a fluid conduit, and a downspout adapter. The channel includes attachment apparatus for attaching to the side of the building, and a flow channel configured such that water flowing down the side of the building drains into the flow channel. The channel adapter fluidly connects to the flow channel. The fluid conduit fluidly connected to the channel adapter. The downspout adapter fluidly connects to the fluid conduit and is configured to fluidly connect to a downspout.

A motorized downspout displacement device including a main housing having an internal fluid passage extending from a first fixed adapter housing to a second displaceable adapter housing with the first fixed adapter housing couplable to a fixed-vertical downspout and the second displaceable adapter housing couplable to a downspout extension, a weather-resistant electric motor moving the second displaceable adapter housing between an extended in-use condition and an out-of-the-way condition, a central processing unit connected to and controlling the operation of the electric motor, a power supply attached to the electric motor, and a control module connected to the central processing unit, the control module transmitting user instructions to the central processing unit.
