Downspout drain extension cannot be priced from a description. Three things decide it. What the ground does with water. How much fall the site has. Where the water may go at the end. All three are facts about an address, and none of them show up in a photograph. Send the address and what you are seeing. One contractor who works in Layton takes it from there. If it turns out to be a different job than this one, that is worth hearing before the digging.

Questions people actually ask
Does a French drain fix water in a Layton basement?
Sometimes. Often the cause is a downspout, and a downspout should discharge at least 6 feet from the wall. Moving it costs a small fraction of a drain. A drain is the answer when water has nowhere to go, not when it is simply aimed at the wall.
When can a drain be dug in Davis County?
Frozen ground stops the work. The usual window runs about 8 months, opening once the frost is out and closing when it returns. Book about 6 weeks ahead inside that window.
How long does the work take?
Most residential runs take 1 to 3 days. Add a day when a machine cannot reach the back yard.
Who pulls the permit?
The trade doing the work pulls it in their own name, and it comes from Davis County rather than from city hall in many cases. Expect 1 inspection on a residential trench, and ask to see the permit before the first cut.
