Why are Gutters Important?
Gutters prevent water damage to your house, property, and landscaping. Gutters around your home create moisture consistency around your foundation, preventing cracking and buckling associated with moisture expansion and contraction, which is very common here in Middlesex County. Most structural damage directly results from water damage caused by a lack of gutters.
Gutters divert water away from the house, preventing water infiltration into the foundation. The diversion of such also prevents erosion of the earth right next to and under the foundation, which would cause ‘uneven’ settling and eventually cracking of the foundation.
Should Gutters be Level?
Gutters should be pitched slightly from one end to the other to allow for the water to flow and not sit. Every 40 feet, gutters should slope an inch or two. However, the side attached to the home must be completely level or water will spill over the edges.
When Should Your Gutters be Inspected?
The best time to inspect your gutters yourself is during a rain storm. Check your downspouts, and look for a steady flow of water. If no water is draining, you have a blockage, or the gutter is not slanted correctly to allow for water to exit.
How Long Should Gutters Last?
The lifespan of residential gutters depends greatly on the quality of installation, weather conditions, routine maintenance, and if they have gutter guards. The National Association of Home Builders suggests that galvanized steel or aluminum gutters should have a 20-year average life and copper gutters have a 50-year average life.
When Should You Clean Your Gutters?
Keeping gutters flowing is very important. In New England, at a minimum, they should be cleaned every season, especially before and after winter, and more often if your house is close to trees. Clogged gutters cause water to backflow and cause damage. By the time gutters are full and need to be cleaned out, the system hasn’t been functioning for weeks. Middlesex County Gutters recommends cleaning your gutters and having us install one of our gutter guards to prevent future buildups.
When Should Gutter Guards be Used?
Gutter guards significantly reduce the amount of debris that accumulates in your gutters. Gutter guards are crucial if trees grow around or over your roof. We recommend installing guards with your new gutter or current gutter system.
