Gutter Installation

The drainage system protects the foundation, facade, porch, and other parts of the house from the flow of rainwater. It is a plus if it matches the exterior finish, as this adds elegance to the building.

It is best to order the installation of gutters and pipes from a reliable company. Such services are available at Roofing & Siding of Cape Cod.

How the installation of gutters occurs

Drainage elements protect the walls from precipitation, so moisture does not penetrate the materials and damage the interior finishes. Replacing broken gutters will help avoid major repairs. And if you wish to sell the property, the price of a house with a complete drainage system will be significantly higher.

The installation of the drainage system is carried out in stages:

Measurements. To correctly determine the amount of material, the angle of inclination, type and perimeter of the roof, height and geometry of the building are taken into account.

Selection of drainage elements. At this stage, data from the measurements and the climatic conditions of the region are taken into account.

Delivery of materials to the site. This includes components of the drainage system as well as the tools necessary for work.

Installation of the drainage system. The masters fix the system’s elements to special brackets, and sealant is used to fill the joints.

Sometimes additional expenses are required for drainage formation. It is necessary to divert the moisture collected in the gutters away from the foundation of the house. An alternative option is to install a container into which rainwater will flow, suitable, for example, for watering plants.

Another additional detail is protective barriers for the gutters. They cover the structure from above so that fallen leaves, debris, or dirt do not accumulate in the depressions.

How long do gutters last

Gutters are made from several materials, each with its own characteristics:

  • Galvanized steel — a thin sheet of metal coated with a layer of zinc, which protects against corrosion, but over time may fade.
  • Aluminum — inexpensive, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant parts can be made from it.
  • Copper — the strongest and most expensive material for gutters and downspouts.

The most popular types of gutters, made from galvanized steel or aluminum, last about 20 years. However, copper gutters are more durable, with a service life of 50 years.

How to prepare for a gutter installation project

The first thing included in the preparation is the determination of the budget. Experienced roofers do not recommend saving on the quality and quantity of materials. For instance, gutters and pipes made from cheap metal wear out quickly and break down in a short time. If you use fewer fasteners, you’ll have to increase the distance between them. This can provoke cracks or breaks.

If you ordered a service for the installation of a drainage system, you need to ensure access to the work area. Before assembling the new drain, the old one needs to be dismantled. You should also ensure that the planned work does not contradict the norms and regulations accepted in the region.

Question and answer

We answer the most popular questions.

What problems with gutters occur most often?

The most common mistake when installing gutters is the refusal of professional services. The desire to save on work will lead to negative consequences, among which are:

  • violation of installation technology. This often concerns the incorrectly set angle of inclination of the gutter. Because of this, liquid stagnates in the trough, and it fails to perform its function;
  • leakage in the joint area. The cause is the choice of low-quality sealant;

If you want to minimize trouble, seek help from craftsmen with experience in roofing work. You can find such specialists at Roofing & Siding of Cape Cod.

What causes a drainage system to break?

After some time following the installation of the drainage system, the following issues may arise:

  • Mechanical damage. This is caused by heavy precipitation, snow avalanches, or sharp temperature fluctuations.
  • Debris accumulation. Fallen leaves can clog not only the horizontal gutters but also the vertical parts of the structure.
  • Corrosion of metal elements. Abundant moisture over time leads to rust on the drains. Leaks appear in the damaged areas.

It is impossible to completely avoid problems with the drainage system. However, timely diagnosis of arising malfunctions is within the reach of every homeowner. Regularly inspect the details of the structure and promptly address any damages. This will save you from unnecessary expenses on large-scale repairs.

We had cedar shingles replaced as well as some sheathing. Both Scott and Bill were a pleasure to work with. Cape Cod roofing and siding delivered as promised. I especially liked that they did carpentry where needed rather than just shingle work. The lead worker, Marco, did an outstanding job of fixing any issues we had. He made sure I was completely happy with the job before they finished and left. I am so glad I chose Cape Cod Roofing and Siding!

They did a great job! My house was shingled with white cedar shingles and Hardie boards. The crew arrived the first morning, I discussed with the estimator a few extra items and changes I wanted, and they were able to make the adjustments without any delays. The crew completed the job in three days and it looks great! Highly recommended!

Roberto and his crew did an incredible job for us: several days of indoor prep work on new skylight boxes, and then only half that time on primer and final coat of paint. They were professional, polite, covered everything and cleaned up after each day – very thorough.

Once the project started, the crew was friendly, professional and (most importantly) did an exceptional job. They met the needs of the carpenter on site and completed the work quickly and to a high standard. The few unfinished items I noticed at the end were quickly completed without issue.
