To keep your home maintained and dry, gutters are very important. Being able to inspect and know the signs when your gutter system needs maintenance is crucial. When a gutter is installed, they are at the eave of your home, where the edge of the roof is. This is to catch rainwater from the roof which prevents it from damaging the eve and foundation of your home. As water streams down the face of the roof, the water will gather and be collected in the gutters, and channeled into a downspout that brings the water down the house where it can be exited without damaging the home.
Clogged Gutters
Debris, leaves, and various items can harm your gutter system causing damage to your roof and home. This can cause unnecessary weight to your gutter system and also cause your gutters to sag. In bad cases, water can fill in your gutters and overflow causing structural damage to your home. One service that helps to prevent clogged gutters is our gutter cleaning. We will professionally clean your gutters to remove any items/debris. Another option would be installing gutter guards and covers.
Leaking Gutters
Your gutters are important to keeping your home protected from water damage and potential mold growth. It is important to repair your gutters if your gutters are not draining properly. Luckily, we can help! We offer many different gutter repairs such as sealing, cleaning, realignment, reinforcement, miter repairs, and many other repairs.
Sagging Gutters
Especially if you live in an area with nearby trees, your gutters can become filled with leaves and debris causing extra weight that will eventually cause your gutters to sag. Sagging gutters can also occur from the weight of snow and ice. Sagging gutters can cause water to overflow and damage the siding on your roof. Some ways to prevent your gutters from sagging would be to perform frequent gutter cleaning or by using a gutter guard or cover.
Improperly Sloped Gutters
Improperly sloped gutters cause water to fill in the gutters and overflow from the edge. This can happen when the extra weight causes the gutters to relocate. You may want to consider investing in gutter guards as an alternative to sloped gutters if you don’t want to do any maintenance or clean-up yourself. Gutter guards are devices that collect trash and debris before it ends up in your gutters. Your roof will also last longer if you prevent debris from getting stuck inside of it.
