Gutters Buffalo Grove

Gutters are more important to your home than you realize. Originally rainwater would just fall off the sides of the roof and onto the ground. This would be a problem for people leaving the building as rainwater would cascade down like a waterfall for anyone leaving. Gutters take the rain and move it to a downspout, giving people a dryer exit. Another problem of having rain just fall off the edge of the roof is that it can damage what is under the edge. For homes with two stories this could lead to damage on the first story roof, and for the first story, it could mean having a small divot around your home that will fill with water during even light rain. Over the years gutters can become damaged from lots of sources and they are hard to defend against.

  • Heavy Rains – While designed to handle rainwater, too much rain can overload the gutters, and the extra weight can put a strain on the parts and seals of the system.
  • Debris – Often times gutters catch things that they are not intended to. Leaves and bits of the roof are typical to find in gutters, and often clog up the downspout, preventing water from flowing naturally.
  • Ice – In the winter when the water in the gutters stops flowing the water can fill the channel, and when it freezes into ice, the expansion can bend the gutters and downspouts even causing them to burst.
  • Animals – While downspouts are often intended only to help things go down, however, animals have a tendency to use them to go up. Birds and squirrels have also been known to make nests in gutters, preventing the water from flowing properly.

Gutter Replacement Buffalo Grove

So don’t take the risk and be sure to have your gutters professionally installed!
