Mile High Gutter

Gutters are an essential part of any roofing system. Without them, overflowing gutters will cause severe roof leaks that can lead to water damage. If you see the following problems we’ve found in previous projects with our customers listed below, make sure to call us to help you.

Loose Gutters: A Common Culprit

Heavy rain, strong winds and the weight of snow or debris can lead to gutters becoming loose or even detaching from the house. Not only can this result in damage to your roofing and landscaping, but it can also compromise the structural integrity of your gutter system. Reattaching or replacing broken components promptly is crucial to prevent further damage.

The Gutter Blockage Issue

Blocked gutters are one of the most frequent issues we encounter, especially after the fall or during early spring when trees shed their leaves. Debris accumulation can lead to water overflow, damaging the foundation and siding of your home. Regular cleaning and installation of gutter guards can go a long way in preventing blockages.

Cracks and Leaks in Gutters

Intense sunlight and occasional severe weather can lead to gutters cracking or leaking. This not only affects the effectiveness of your gutters but can also cause significant water damage over time. The application of silicone sealant or, in more severe cases, the replacement of affected gutter sections, can address this issue.

Downspout Dysfunction

Properly functioning downspouts are essential for directing water away from your home’s foundation. Misaligned or damaged downspouts can direct water towards your home, risking basement flooding and foundation damage. Regular inspections and timely repairs or replacements are critical to maintaining the health of your downspouts.

The End of Life Span Dilemma

All gutters have a lifespan, beyond which repairs may no longer be a cost-effective solution. Corrosion, sagging and repeated leaks might indicate that it’s time for a gutter system replacement. Consulting with a professional can help you assess whether a repair will suffice or if a complete replacement is necessary.

Proactive Gutter Maintenance

Proactive gutter maintenance is key to avoiding the most common gutter repairs. By scheduling regular inspections and cleanings, you can extend the lifespan of your gutters and minimize the need for repairs. Paying attention to seasonal changes and responding with appropriate maintenance can save you time and money in the long run.
