It is a shame to see the number of homeowners let good
guttering installations go bad when they allow their rain gutters to get clogged
up. Then, compounding the problem, they neglect proper and timely guttering
repairs.
Costly problems result for lack of guttering repairs making
your guttering installation of none affect to your home. These homeowners are
costing themselves so much money and it is simple enough to avoid the problem
with proper guttering repairs and maintenance.
You can do this yourself or hire a professional gutter installer.
These gutter installation experts know how to install rain
gutters the right way so that the lip is placed properly between the gutter
flashing and the roof shingles. They’ll also apply a nice tight seal between
the gutter and the roof to prevent water from seeping under your roofing
through the cracks.
Proper Guttering Installation
Proper guttering installation is not the only thing you need
to do to prevent leakage and roof damage. These gutters do need to be
maintained; properly caring for your gutters year round will prevent the need
for expensive guttering repairs.
Aluminum Gutter
Maintenance
For aluminum gutters, homeowners should also take time at
the end of each summer to repaint their gutters where the weather has eroded
away the old previous paint. Paint acts
as a weather barrier protecting the finish and metal of the gutters from water
and corrosion.
Copper gutters and galvanized steel gutters do not require
painting.
Gutter Cleaning
Once or twice a year, climb up on a ladder and clean dead
leaves and debris out of your rain gutters. Do this rain gutter maintenance at
minimum on a seasonal basis; or more often on an “as needed” basis if you have
lots of tress and foliage near your home.
You’ll need to clean out the gutters more frequently in the
autumn as the falling leaves are constantly choking them with debris.
The leaves may occasionally be wet and molding and they might
be difficult to clean out by hand. This is where a professional rain guttering
specialist is recommended. They have the right tools and skills to safely and
effectively clean you rain gutters.
Gutter Covers
Special covers for rain gutters that keep leaves from
falling into the gutter line and clogging it is another option for homeowners
who wish to avoid regular cleaning of their gutters each season.
Downspouts
Occasionally, the drain pipes (downspouts) of your rain gutters
will get clogged up as well. These pipes are quite easy to disconnect from the
gutter and flush out with a garden water hose pressure.
If repairs are needed you can try to have a go at it
yourself. But overall it’s best to call a rain gutter repairs expert to do the
guttering repairs for you. A guttering repairs expert can help you save time
and money.
Saves Time is
self explanatory; you’re not the one doing the work so it frees up your time
for more productive activities.
Saves Money: How
can it save money if you’re paying someone else to do the work?
- Simply put, we deal in wholesale so our cost of materials is far less than yours. And we usually pass much of those savings on to you.
- Another way you save money is by letting a pro do it right, once, the first time. Put politely, we’ve already paid for our learning curve so you won’t have to pay for yours.
- Hospitals cost a lot of money. Save time and money by eliminating the risk of falling off a ladder or hurting yourself with power tools.
Stay on top of repairs as they are needed because not
performing regular guttering repairs can lead to premature failure of your
gutters and subsequently the need for a costly replacement with a new gutter system
installation.
