You might not give your home’s gutters much thought, but they are a vital part of your home’s drainage system. Water from rain and melted snow runs off the roof and into the gutters. Clogged or damaged eavestroughs will cause water to run off the side of the house and pool. Pooling water can penetrate and damage the foundation. In some cases, it can cause a flood in your basement.
Maintaining your eavestroughs, and replacing them when they need it, is one of the easiest things you can do to protect your home and foundation from severe damage. Chinook Exteriors are an exterior renovation company that offers innovative eavestroughs in Calgary. They share more:
Keep your gutters clean
Falling leaves, twigs, and other debris can get caught in the gutters and restrict drainage. That is why spring and fall gutter cleaning is essential to keep them working correctly. When gutters get clogged and full of water, they can start to pull away from the house. If you notice that your gutters are damaged or not moving water as they should, contact Chinook Exteriors. They offer replacements, repairs, and maintenance services for eavestroughs in Calgary.
You can also invest in a leaf guard system. Chinook Exterior offers Alu-Rex gutter management systems that come with a series of grates that prevent leaves from getting into the gutter.
Invest in quality eavestrough products
Not all eavestroughs are created equal, and it’s essential to invest in high-quality systems. For example, seamless eavestroughs only have joints placed in the corners. That means less build-up and easier drainage.
You should also invest in a larger eavestrough to improve drainage flow, especially if you have a large house and roof. Chinook Exteriors suggests a 6” seamless eavestrough to ensure that water is flowing efficiently and away from your home. These larger, seamless eavestroughs, combined with a gutter leaf guard system, will ensure your home’s drainage system is working as it should.
Gentek Building Products offers an innovative line of aluminum eavestrough systems. They’re strong, durable, easy to maintain and clean. Chinook Exteriors provides professional installation of a new eavestrough system, including downspouts. As mentioned, they can also assist with gutter repair and maintenance.
A new eavestrough system can protect your home, boost curb appeal and resale value. The Gentek Colour System offers a wide range of colours and styles, so you can find the eavestrough colour that matches your home.
