Eavestroughs play a critical role in your home’s roofing system. They provide proper drainage from melting snow and rain off your roof and away from your home. Solid and functional gutters will protect your home from moisture issues and damage.
Let It Flow Exteriors offers high-quality eavestroughs in Edmonton and Parkland County. They have years of experience improving residential exteriors and can answer any question you might have. Here are some common eavestrough FAQs.
Why are eavestroughs so important?
Your gutters collect and move water from rain and melting snow off the roof. The system guides it down downspouts and away from your home. Without functional gutters, water can run off the side of the house and start to pool. Pooling water can cause damage to the foundation, leak into window wells, and wreak havoc on your home. If your gutters are in ill repair or need replacing, it’s best to do so soon.
What size of eavestroughs do I need?
When you hire Let It Flow Exteriors to install your eavestroughs in Parkland County and Edmonton, they can make the best recommendation for your home. Most houses will need a 5” eavestrough. However, large, steep, or metal roofs might require 6” gutters. They’ll provide a recommendation when preparing your quote.
How do I keep my gutters from clogging?
Cleaning the gutters in the spring and fall is essential for home maintenance, but some products can help. For example, the Alu-Rex T-Rex gutter hanging system provides a leaf guard system to block leaves and debris from clogging your eavestroughs. They work incredibly and are very strong.
What will my eavestroughs be made of?
As experienced eavestrough contractors, Let It Flow Exteriors recommends aluminum gutters. Unlike steel, they are resistant to rust and can last about 20 years longer than their steel counterparts!
How can I ensure the water doesn’t seep into my fascia board?
When the water comes down your roof, it should go straight into the gutter without seeping into the fascia board. Installing a drip edge will ensure this happens. Let It Flow Exteriors recommends installing a drip edge whenever your shingles are less than an inch past your fascia board or if they’re curling. With a drip edge, you won’t have to worry about water leaking and causing rot.
