What are Seamless Gutters?

seamless-rain-guttersSeamless gutters are rain gutters that are cut from a preformed roll of composite metal. A rain gutter is a narrow trough that is attached to the outer edge of the roof to collect water & redirect it away from the building. Rain gutters are moreover called eaves troughs or eaves channel guttering.

  Rain gutters are an significant part of every roofing system. Redirecting the water off the roof reduces the erosion of soil at the base of the building, which weakens the foundation over time. Rainwater can be redirected into a water collection system, or diverted to specific locations with the use of downspouts.
Seamless gutters are a marketing term used to describe a specific method of rain gutter installation. These gutters have less seams & possible leakage points than other rain gutters, as they are formed from one continuous roll. Traditional gutters use aluminum pieces, which are attached on site & have visible seams.
To install seamless gutters, you must hire a Gutter Installer who offers this product. It is very usual in North America & available from a wide range of Gutter Installation companies. It is possible to purchase or install seamless gutters yourself. To see residential rain gutter types

At each corner, the seamless gutter is cut just enough to allow the material to create a perpendicular corner. These cuts are then sealed during the installation process. The seal can be created on the inside of the gutter to provide a visually appealing appearance.

The installation staff work their way around the perimeter of the roof, attaching the seamless gutter as they go. Downspouts are usually installed at the end of the process.

Types of Residential Rain Gutters

The protection of your home from water damage is crucial in the maintenance & care of your property. Rain gutters are aid in this process by fitting just under the eves of the roof & direct the water through troughs & downspouts that conform to the walls to places far enough away from the house to reduce water damage. Rain gutters keeping the rain away from the areas around the house itself & keep the water from seeping into the foundation. Flooding into the foundations, basement or crawl spaces can cause erosion around the house & permanent damage to the structure. And since many insurance policies do not cover damage from flooding, in is vital to have a method to keep the water away. Installing rain gutters is a fairly inexpensive way to protect the structure of your house & ensure a sound foundation.

Rains gutters are made out of several types of materials; the three most usual of which are aluminum, PVC & copper. Some are constructed out of wood, yet this is rare. PVC gutters are the least expensive of the three & are the easiest to work with; they can fit any house & come in various color choices to match your home (this type is not recommended overall this type does not last the test of time). Aluminum gutters cost more yet are far superior they are the toughest of the three , they moreover last the longest & come in various color choices to match your home they moreover can be painted to mach the trim of your house. Copper gutters are the most expensive yet they look tremendous & conduct heat well, so if you live in a very cold climate, they can assist with ice buildup.

There are two types of rain gutters. First is a seamless gutter system. Each edge of your roof is fitted with a single strip of painted aluminum. These rain gutters are constructed right at your home by Everything Gutter & can span up to 500 ft of roof length. The second type is the older system, where sections or pieces of gutter are fitted together into a custom arrangement & configuration witch leaves you with seams all over, this is the older type system witch we currently do not use & do not recommend.

Rain gutters are relatively effortless to maintain & should be cleaned & inspected at least twice a year. If you have a lot of trees around your property, you might need to clean them more often. Cleaning involves removing leaves & debris & washing them with a high pressure hose. If you live in areas that require more cleaning, or have a lot of trees, you may want to look into gutter protection devices that cover the opening of the gutter. This allows water to go into the gutter, yet the debris fall over the edge of the roof.

If rain gutters are installed properly, they will look great, prolong the life of your foundation & reduce future cost of repairs down the road. So if you decide to install rain gutters, Contact us to obtain your free evaluation on cost, materials & layout.

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.
