Common Gutter Repairs & Maintenance Needs:
Be aware of these common issues. We can address them all:
Sealing: Corners, seams, end caps, and outlets should be resealed every 5-10 years to prevent leaks. Look for watermarks or damage to wood, landscaping, or your foundation as signs.
Proper Pitch & Adjustments: Gutters must be precisely pitched using a level to ensure water flows correctly towards the downspouts. Sagging or settling can disrupt this pitch, requiring adjustment or re-pitching.
Flashing Installation/Repair: Flashing should be installed under the roof shingles and down the back of the gutter to prevent water from leaking behind the gutter, and pooling at the foundation.
Downspout Issues:
Extensions: Downspout extensions should extend at least 5' from your foundation and graded to move water away from the foundation to prevent seepage.
Split Seams: Most standard downspouts have a vertical seam. Due to natural expansion and contraction from temperature changes, this seam can split open over time. This causes water to leak out the back, often pooling directly against your foundation. If a seam is compromised, replacement is usually recommended. If splitting is a recurring problem, installing a heating cable might be a preventative solution, to reduce expansion from ice.
Underground Drainage: If downspouts are draining into an underground drainage system, be sure there aren't any blockages causing backup or slowing down the flow of water.
Terminated Drains: If underground drains are no longer used, be sure to cement or close off that drain to prevent water or animals from entering.
Holes or Corrosion of Gutters
Ice Damming Damage: Ice dams put significant weight on gutters, causing them to sag, pull away from the fascia, and lose their proper pitch. Installing heating cables can prevent ice dams, and we can re-pitch damaged gutters to restore proper water flow.
