Your home’s gutters are integral to its long-term well-being. Gutters help a roof shed rainwater as quickly and efficiently as possible. That extends the life of the roof and helps to avoid repairs. These essential features keep water off your siding, windows, and doors. The downspouts channel that water away to protect your foundation, landscape, and hardscapes. If you have any issues, count on The Roof Detective to repair gutters on your home in Worthington, OH. If they’re old or too damaged, we offer gutters replacement as well.
Worthington Gutters Repair and Replacement
A common mistake homeowners make is not thinking about their gutters until there’s a problem. We recommend an annual inspection, which we can perform alongside a roof evaluation. If there are any issues, we can correct them. That helps prevent small issues from growing and becoming big problems. It also extends the life of the gutter system and helps to avoid premature need for replacement gutters. Some common maintenance tasks we perform include removing clogs, cleaning the gutters, and tightening fasteners.
One of the more common issues is water ponding near the foundation and elsewhere on the landscape. This can occur even with a gutter system that otherwise functions well. In many cases, standard downspouts are not enough to channel water appropriately. For this purpose, we offer a wide range of downspout extensions. Our team can configure downspouts to channel water away from the foundation and hardscapes. We can also ensure the system channels water in a way that doesn’t disrupt your yard.
Another common problem is gutters freezing during the winter. Ice prevents the gutters from functioning and can lead to ice dams, water damage, and other issues. Gutter guards are one solution and all but eliminate ice dams. If your problem with freezing gutters is more severe, we can install heating cables. Those will prevent any ice from accumulating at all.
When should you opt for replacement gutters rather than repairing them? It’s often a matter of expected lifespan. Aluminum gutters, for instance, last about 20 years, while copper gutters can last 50. If you’re nearing the end of the expected lifespan, it’s often better to replace than repair.
Our company recommends and primarily installs seamless gutters. The benefit of seamless is that we measure and fabricate the gutters on the property. That eliminates the seams that cause sectional gutters to fail sooner. We use heavy-duty hangers and heavy-duty miters for the inner and outer angles. Aluminum is the most popular material, as it strikes a great balance between short and long-term costs.
