Gutters collect the water runoff from the roof and transport it through downspouts to the ground. They keep water from harming house siding. Gutters also protect the foundation by guiding water away from the house. When water runoff continually lands near the house, it can cause pressure to build up in the surrounding soil which leads to cracks in the foundation. It is therefore important that the homeowner have properly maintained gutters that run freely.
Leaking and clogged gutters are major reasons that house siding becomes damaged. The seams between gutter segments is the most likely location for gutters to fail. Seamless gutters reduce almost all seams along the sides of a house. The gutter contractor arrives with a special truck that will create a custom gutter at the site. A seamless gutter runs from corner to corner without any segment seams. The only seam is found when it turns a corner or connects with a downspout. When gutters are full of leaves, water cannot run through them freely. It therefore spills out over the top of the gutters. To prevent this, each year homeowners often climb tall ladders to clean leaves and dirt out of the gutter. Installing Gutter Guards in Seattle is a much easier solution.
Gutter guards are mesh toppers for gutters. They are design to keep debris and leaves out of the gutter while allowing the maximum amount of water through. When a technician arrives to install the guards, he inspects the gutters to make sure there are no leaks and that they are attached to the roof or house properly. The homeowner can choose between silver or black gutter guards. Installation is a fast process and there is minimal disruption to the home. Once the Gutter Guards in Seattle have been installed, the homeowner can cross one chore off of their To Do List. Homeowner can rest assured that the gutter company stands behind it work.
