Why Seamless Gutters

Although water is a necessary part of sustaining life, when it arrives in large quantities & is allowed to build-up, this vital element can quickly become menacing. Water penetration can become a dangerously corrosive threat to any home because of its ability to cause many deterioration problems. And with this deterioration comes serious repairs, & with serious repairs comes serious dollars. Therefore it is essential that you have the best drainage system possible in order to protect your house, & the best drainage investment on the marker comes in the form of seamless gutters.

More Water, More Problems

Water penetration can cause some serious damage to your home. If it builds up, it can create mold, mildew, & stains. Your roof & shingles protect your home from these outdoor elements, of course. However, the product which best channels away water is a seamless gutter system. It can prevent water from saturating your lawn & eventually leaking into your basement. Ground saturation can moreover ruin your topsoil & cause some serious problems to your foundation. Plus, if you don’t have proper drainage around your roof, your siding & shingles could rot or warp due to backsplash. Therefore, a seamless rain gutter is the best alternative compared to traditional systems.

What’s the Difference?

Traditional sectional systems are effortless to attach to your roof, yet since they come in short segments that connect to one another, more seams are then created. The more seams in the system, the better the chance for additional leaks. And since the product’s main purpose is to divert water, a leaky gutter is like having no protection at all. Therefore, seamless rain gutters were invented. These are custom-made products (sometimes called continuous gutters) that don’t have any seams at all except for when it is absolutely necessary: around the corners of your house where a sharp turn has to be made & places where downspouts are attached. But even these minimal seams are placed in areas where any potential leaking is less problematic. Overall, if you have fewer seams, you have a smaller likelihood for leaks, which means less penetration & more savings.

Installation & Maintenance

Although sectional systems are effortless to install, which is tremendous for do-it-yourselfers, seamless gutters need to be installed by professional roofing contractors. Since they aren’t standardized for just any house, seamless rain gutters need to be customized for your particular home design. Therefore, trained experts are essential to calculating & creating a product that works in correspondence with your specific needs. These professionals come prepared with the specific knowledge & equipment (often portable machines that are able to make precise cuts) for the best results. If improperly installed, it won’t be able to supply you with the watertight benefits your house needs.

Also, after the seamless gutters are installed, it is up to you to keep them well maintained. Just because they offer the best protection available doesn’t mean they are infallible. You still need to clean them occasionally from any leaves or debris which can build up in the channels. And though you can invest in guards, screens, & covers to slow down this build-up, you can’t avoid this chore all together. If they are not well maintained, the purpose of these products will be negated because water won’t be channeled properly, which will once again put your home at risk.

What should you look for in a gutter guard system?

Unlike some manufacturers of gutter guards would have you believe, gutter guard technology is far from rocket science. Consider what it is you are trying to accomplish……keeping leaves from clogging the rain gutter so that the water collected in the gutter can flow freely to the downspouts. If the gutter gets clogged, thereby forming a dam of sorts, water will overflow. It will overflow the front of the gutter resulting in pooling around the base of the house which can cause costly damage to the crawlspace area or basement. The water build up in the gutter will moreover seep over the back of the gutter where it attaches to the fascia board & cause rotting of that wood. So what’s the best & most economical way to prevent all of this? What should you look for in choosing a guard?
Well first off be sure that the guard is made of a sturdy material. Inexpensive plastic guards that are readily available at home improvement stores may hold up for a year, yet after wet leaves, or snow put a heavy weight on them they will simply collapse into the gutter & donate leaves a place to stick inside the gutter, actually causing more harm than good.
Secondly select a guard with a screen that is small enough to keep large debris out of the gutter.
Then be sure that the guard is constructed in such a way as to allow air to flow under the accumulated leaves in order to allow the wind to blow the leaves off, & moreover to assist dry them out when they are wet.
Avoid guards that go under your roof shingles & attach to the roof itself. This could cause problems in regard to your roof warranty.
Be sure that the guards will not allow a waterfall effect during periods of heavy rain. Some guards will allow runoff from the roof to overshoot the gutter completely, in which case you may as well not even have gutters.
And finally be sure that there is no large gap to allow leaves to blow into the gutter because once those leaves obtain in there, it is nearly impossible to clean them out properly. Also, birds & bees find these openings lead them to a nice sheltered environment to build nests & hives. And very often this type of guard is the most expensive.
So with all that being said take a look at the website www.everythinggutter.com & see what Shur Flo has to offer. Guaranteed not to clog, economical & sturdy, once installed you can forget you even have gutters. And a lifetime of gutter related issues is a thing of the past.
