Do I need rain gutters?
Rain gutters are essential for protecting your home from water damage. They prevent rainwater from causing cracks in foundations and walkways, which can lead to expensive repairs. Without gutters, water can rot lower wood components of your home, creating ideal conditions for termites and carpenter ants. Additionally, gutters help keep entrances dry and safe, reducing the risk of slips and falls.What are seamless gutters?
Seamless gutters are custom-made, single-piece gutter systems manufactured on-site at your home. They offer superior performance compared to sectional plastic or aluminum gutters available at home improvement stores. The absence of in-line seams, which are prone to failure, makes seamless gutters more durable. These gutters are typically crafted from aluminum, copper, or steel, ensuring longevity and effectiveness.Do seamless gutters cause ice dams?
Seamless gutters do not cause ice dams. Research indicates that ice dams are primarily caused by heat loss from the home and specific weather patterns. In fact, homes without gutters often experience more severe ice dam problems compared to those with properly installed gutter systems.Do seamless gutters help with wet basements?
Seamless gutters are beneficial in preventing wet basements. They effectively channel rainwater from your roof away from the foundation, significantly reducing the amount of water that can accumulate around and potentially seep into your basement.How are seamless gutters supported?
Seamless gutters are supported by two crucial components: screws and hangers. This combination is vital for the longevity of your gutter system. At Gutters & More Companies, we use Lynch's Brute bracket and stainless steel installation screws, which are the strongest in the industry. We believe that any other combination is suboptimal and encourage our clients to accept nothing less than the best.How do I maintain my seamless rain gutter system?
The primary maintenance requirement for seamless rain gutters is regular cleaning. It's recommended to clean and flush your gutters at least twice a year to ensure proper water flow and prevent obstructions. To reduce this maintenance, you may consider installing gutter covers.Are my new rain gutters guaranteed?
