Gutter System

Maintaining  your  home  starts  with  ensuring  that  water  is  properly  shedding  away  from  your  foundation  and  landscaping.  If  you  have  concerns  about  your  current  system,  we  offer  a  free  multi-point  home  inspection  and  assessment.  Our  complete  gutter  system  replacements  come  with  manufacture  and  workmanship  warranties.
When  assessing  you  gutter  system,  we  look  into  the  following  issues:

• What  condition  are  your  gutters  in?

Clogged  gutters  can  cause  improper  drainage  that  leads  to  fascia  damage,  ice  dams  and  leaks  at  the  eaves. Consider using  a  gutter  protection  system  to  minimize  or  eliminate  the  need  to  clean  your  gutters.

• Are  the  gutters  properly  secured?
  

If  not,  water  could  be  leaking  between  your  roof  and  gutters.  It  is  all  too  common  that  someone  spends  a  lot  of  time  and  money  on  beautiful  landscaping  or  finishing  a  basement  only  to  have  misdirected  water  ruin  everything.

• Are  the  gutters  large  enough?
  

Your  gutters  may  not  be  deep  or  divide  enough  to  handle  the  amount  of  rain  your  home  receives,  causing  them  to  overflow.  If  this  is  the  case,  oversized  gutters  may  be  appropriate.

• Are  the  gutters  pitched  properly?

If  not,  water  may  not  be  making  it  to  the  downspouts.  If  your  downspouts  cannot  carry  the  water  away  from  your  home’s  foundation,  your  building  or  landscaping  could  experience  serious  damage.

•   Is  there  an  adequate  number  of  downspouts  and  are  they  large  enough?
  

If  there  are  not  enough downspouts  or  if  those  existing  aren’t  big  enough,  water  can  back  up  in  your  system  and  will  not  effectively  divert  away.
Is   the  shingle  overhang  the  appropriate  length?
A  proper  overhang  sheds  water  away  from  the  perimeter  of  your  home,  protecting  your  fascia  boards  and  redirecting  the  water  into  the  gutters.

• Is  a  drip  edge  recommended?
  

Drip  edge  is  a  piece  of  metal  flashing  that  aids  in  waterproofing  by  redirecting  the  “dripping”  water  into  gutters.
