Gutters and Downspouts in Brookhaven, GA

Few homeowners think about gutters before one overflows. Their purpose is simple: collect the water running off the roof and discharge it where it cannot harm the house. When they are undersized, poorly pitched, leaking at seams or pulling away from the eave, water spills down walls, saturates the soil at the foundation and can back up under the roof edge. Downspouts that empty right beside the house cause similar problems. Hail and falling limbs also dent and deform gutters, which is why they frequently appear in storm damage assessments. During inspections we evaluate gutters as part of the roof system: their size relative to the roof area, their pitch, the condition of seams and hangers, and where downspouts discharge. When replacement makes sense, we install seamless gutters formed to length on the property, which eliminates the joints where older sectional gutters tend to leak. Downspouts are sized and positioned to move water away from the foundation, and hangers are spaced to support the weight of water and debris. If you are replacing your roof, we will tell you honestly whether the existing gutters are worth keeping.
