Your gutter system plays a key role in keeping your home dry and damage-free. Which is why it’s important to inspect them occasionally and address any problems immediately. Otherwise, they can compromise your home’s structural integrity. Roofmasters Roofing and Sheet Metal, one of the top roofing contractors, discusses the top gutter problems and how we can solve them:
Improper Pitching
This issue is usually caused by poor installation. Improper pitching keeps water from flowing directly into your downspouts, resulting in leaks and overflows. Have your gutters inspected by a professional. If they see any pooling water in the system, it’s a sign that your gutters are not pitched properly.
When you turn to us for a gutter replacement, we’ll install your new system properly to ensure this won’t happen again. We’ll check, clean, seal and adjust the alignment of your gutters. You can rest assured that our roof warranties and installation techniques are approved by major roofing manufacturers.
Clogging
Leaves, twigs, dirt and other debris will find their way to your gutters over time and clog the system. When left unattended, this can cause rainwater to spill over the sides and lead to serious problems, such as foundation damage and landscaping erosion. In addition, the excess weight of the debris buildup and standing water can cause the gutters to sag, which can collapse anytime and injure an unsuspecting passersby.
It’s important to clean your gutters at least twice a year to maintain their efficiency throughout the seasons. Without the proper skills and equipment, however, doing this task on your own can put you at risk of accidents. This is where we come in. As professionals, we are trained and equipped with the right tools to ensure successful results.
