Thank You for Choosing Dependable Gutters

Gutters & Downspouts

  

Gutters are one of the unsung heroes of home protection.  For many homes, water damage is one of the most common problems that can affect the structure and comfort inside. Everything about your house relates to one another. Gutters affect your home’s roof, foundation, crawlspaces, basement, landscaping and even susceptibility of moisture infiltration. Although quality roofing and proper seals are important, new gutters & downspouts provide additional protection by diverting water quickly away from the foundation and other parts of the structure. 


Although a Rain Gutter System may not earn as many compliments as a beautiful landscape or chef’s kitchen, without it, a home’s structural integrity could be at risk. Insurance companies pay out over $2.5 BILLION in water damage losses every year. Gutters serve the critical role of diverting water away from the house to avoid foundation erosion, roof leaks, and damage from moisture infiltration.

Why Gutters Are Important for Every Home


Imagine rain pouring on a roof without gutters.  Where does the rainwater end up?   Immediately pooling into the soil surrounding your house. Without being properly directed away from your home, this water could do serious damage .

Top 5 Reasons You Need Gutters

  

1. Gutters protect from Foundation Erosion. Water erosion is very bad for a building’s structural stability. Homes are built on sturdy foundations that can last for centuries, but undirected water can slowly eat away at the soil surrounding the foundation, weakening it and jeopardizing the strength of the whole structure. It is very important for homeowners to monitor the landscape and foundation of their homes and quickly resolve any issues.  Dependable Gutters is happy to evaluate the situation at no cost to you, to offer our expert opinion on the best and most cost effective solution we can provide, and, if approved, to quickly and efficiently resolve the problem for you.


2. Gutters protect your siding and masonry from stains and damage. When it rains, without gutters, splashes of rain can stain and damage your home’s exterior. Experts say that it doesn’t matter what kind of siding or masonry you install – whether it is fiber cement, vinyl siding, bricks, or stone, even the best building materials can be stained or damaged over time without gutters in place. Missing or damaged gutters allow rainwater gets near your house where it can soak and stain anything in its path, including your beautiful siding or masonry work. 


3. Gutters keep basements and crawlspaces dry.  The first few times that rain soaks the ground near your foundation, nothing bad may happen, but over time, the pressure from water pooling around the foundation could cause it to infiltrate the structure.  Anyone living on the Gulf Coast of Alabama knows that it is imperative to keep dwellings dry. Unwanted moisture seeping into a basement or crawlspace in our climate is a recipe for disaster. Unhealthy mold and mildew quickly grow where there is excess moisture and can be quite expensive to remediate.


4. Gutters prevent soil and landscaping erosion.  Uncontrolled rain water will eventually leach away chunks of soil around your home. This erosion from water damage and can quickly cause serious issues for home owners. The famous Grand Canyon was formed by water erosion, and the same process can damage your home’s landscaping. Without gutters, rainwater can wash away your top soil, pool around your foundation, and erode landscape grading and flowerbeds, undermining the safety and value of your home.


5. Gutters preserve roofing shingles. How do gutters affect a roof’s lifespan? A properly functioning Gutter and Downspout System allows rainwater to quickly flow away from the roof and structure. It is important that rainwater doesn’t build-up beneath the roofing material. If water is allowed to back up into the roofing system, it may damage the shingles and underlayment, eventually causing a roof leak that may make its way into your home.


A telltale sign that erosion has taken place is seeing soil or gravel flowing into or out of your lawn and garden beds.  Professionally installed Rain Gutters by Dependable Gutters can help. Properly functioning gutters provide a route for rain to safely flow from the roof into the gutters and through the downspouts to be funneled away from the structure. A drainage plan should be implemented so that water from the gutters is led as far as possible from the house.

Why Seamless Gutters?

  

The biggest decision to make when getting new gutters is whether to go with seamed or seamless gutters. Seamed gutters are separate gutter pieces that are connected together. The main problem with seamed gutters is that leaks often occur at the seams.


Seamless gutters are made from a continuous roll of aluminum that’s extruded from a machine and made to the specific length needed.  We build them on-site precisely measured for your home to ensure a custom look and years of properly functioning gutters. The advantage of the Dependable Seamless Gutter System is that there are no seams that can leak!
