The use of gutters ensures that water never deteriorates a structure or causes unnecessary damage. Water that has been flowing in the same location will eventually start to erode the area which it has been running through. In the case of a home, this is normally around the foundation. When this happens, small cracks start to form in the foundation. If the water is allowed to persist, the foundation will become unstable.
Gutters will be set up so that all of the water runoff leads directly into a gutter. The gutters will be designed so that the water is routed away from the structure. This allows for proper draining and ensures that the structure never suffers damage related to the water runoff during a storm.
If gutters are installed improperly, damaged or not present, a structure may experience the following:
- Foundation damage
- Basement flooding
- Interior flooding
- Exterior damage
SIZING YOUR GUTTERs
The size of the gutter needed can be calculated by determining the average rainfall for the area and adjusting the pitch to accommodate it. Houses in areas with higher rainfall averages will need wider gutters and more downspouts. Most homes will only require a 5 or 6 inch gutter, but homes in rain-prone areas may need up to an 8 inch size.
INSTALLING YOUR GUTTERs
The best way to ensure the gutters fit properly and will function well without heavy maintenance is to have them installed by a reputable, certified professional like Tar Heel Construction Group. A good contractor will be able to determine precisely what size gutter is best for the home, and will install it properly to avoid clogged gutters in the future. Aesthetics are also an important part of installing new gutters, and a seasoned professional will be able to assist with these choices as well. Let Tar Heel Construction Group install your gutters to ensure they are safe and functional for years to come.
Seamless
Seamless gutters are a relatively new technology for protecting our homes from heavy downpours. They allow for gutters to be installed all at once, instead of in partitioned pieces and offer many benefits over traditional style gutters. Make sure you check out the tips and information below on seamless gutters before you hire a contractor to make changes to your home.
SEAMLESS GUTTERS ARE MORE ADVANCED THAN TRADITIONAL STYLE GUTTERS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
- Reduce leaks because there are no cracks in between seams.
- Enamel finish is baked on, so it does not require painting to maintain its look.
- Manufactured to exact measurements taken at the home so they will fit perfectly.
- Made from high-grade aluminum that is treated to withstand water. They will not rot like cheap aluminum gutters.
- Manufacturer warranties for materials. Some come with an installation warranty offered by the contractor.
- Most projects are finished in one day.
