Seamless & Traditional Gutter Installation in Buford, Georgia

Clogged gutters can create severe problems if they are left unchecked. If you do not install a protection system on your gutters, they will become a holding place for various objects. 

During a storm, heavy rains can cause roof particles to fall into your gutters. If you have trees on your property, your gutters are an easy target for leaves, sticks, acorns, and other projectiles. To avoid serious water problems, you should periodically check your gutters for any material that may back up the water flow.

Leaks commonly form along the seam where two gutters connect. If the seam is not sealed correctly, water can find its way into your home’s interior or foundation. Leaks also result from the buildup of leaves, sticks, and other debris preventing water from draining through the downspout. 

Georgia homeowners should closely monitor their gutters after heavy rain to ensure that no leaks form. Leaks can quickly wreak havoc on your home and create the following issues:

• Rotting fascia boards
• Attic flooding
• Bubbling, flaking or chipping exterior paint
• Foundation and siding damage
• Damaged soffits and overhangs

If you notice any of these issues, it is time to install new gutters and gutter covers.

A dip in your gutter line commonly identifies sagging gutters. A pool of water forms in this dip, preventing proper drainage into the ground. The strain that a dip puts on the gutters can cause the hardware to fail or, in extreme cases, the collapse of an entire gutter section. 

Sagging gutters can cause the following severe problems:

• Hardware failure
• Incorrect drainage
• Foundational rot and erosion

Call a gutter professional to inspect your gutters if you notice these warning signs.

Ice dams pose various threats to a gutter system. They are formed during freezing temperatures when heat escapes through the attic, causing the ice on the roof to melt. The water then flows to the colder edge of the roof and re-freezes. As this process repeats in cold weather, it forms a destructive ice dam on your roof. 

When the ice dams melt in the spring, they create streams of water that flow into your home through weak points in your gutters. The trickling water can cause severe interior damage, while the weight of the ice dam can create stress fractures and deformations in your gutter system.

A lack of consistent maintenance is the primary cause of gutter issues. Homeowners can address clogged gutters, but we recommend calling our Georgia gutter professionals for inspections and complex repairs. 

We recommend scheduling seasonal gutter cleanings and inspections twice a year. Regular inspections and cleanings will ensure your gutters can do their job regardless of the season or situation.
