Your Gutters’ Role in Protecting Your Home
Your gutters perform an important role in protecting your home from water damage. When it rains, water flows down your roof and goes directly into your gutters. The water then flows to your downspouts, where the water will be deposited safely away from your home. Damage to your gutter system or downspouts can lead to several problems. These include roof leaks, landscaping damage, foundation damage and stained siding. A fully functioning gutter system can prevent these issues.
Importance of Gutter Maintenance
As a roof repair expert, we strongly recommend scheduling regular gutter inspections throughout the year. This can reduce the risk of damage to your gutter and roofing systems. In addition, keeping your gutters functional can make upgrading your roof much easier. We won’t have to worry about discovering hidden roof leaks caused by overflowing gutters once we remove your old roof, so we can proceed to installing the new one.
Keeping Your Gutters in Good Condition
Keeping your gutters functional is all about paying attention. To this end, you should occasionally perform a simple inspection. Look for cracks, holes, rusting and sags. You also need to check if your gutters are pitched properly, so water doesn’t pool in them. When in doubt, call us to be sure.
You also need to consider upgrading your gutters if they are too old. We install seamless gutter systems that are durable and reliable. They have no joints, so they’re less likely to leak and they’re easier to clean and maintain. We can also install a gutter protection system to prevent clogs and reduce the need for maintenance.
