Gutters
We offer 5 inch and 6 inch seamless gutters, and industrial size gutters. All of our gutters are available in many colors, as well as copper.
You should clean your gutters, down spouts, scuppers and drain boxes regularly. Leaves and debris can back up an entire gutter system and the overflowing pipes can cause leaks and damages inside your house.
Not having gutters can damage your home's foundation and cause your basement to leak in new places over time.
WHY DO YOU NEED GUTTERS?Gutters provide value for one of your most expensive investments-your home.
Water damage is one of the most pervasive yet easiest to control home maintenance items. What damages can cascading rainwater without gutters do?
- Mold and mildew can lead to health problems and expensive repairs
- Foundation damage
- Leaks
- Cracks
- Floors can warp and bow
- Stains
- Rot doors and wood elements
- Devalue your home
A simple walk around your home and view of the lower portions of your walls will typically reveal beginning or more severe damage from rainfall without gutters.
Uncollected rainwater erodes soil and causes excess water to splash up on the home's sidewalls.
This water can cause painted exterior surfaces to peel, wood framing and siding to rot, masonry walls to effloresce and foundations to settle. Common sense should tell you that the water falling from even a low roof has an enormous amount of energy that allows the water to inflict havoc over a period of time.
Gutters and down spouts collect water and divert it away from the base of the house. Rainwater can be used to irrigate gardens and landscaping, putting less stress on our fresh water supplies. We provide gutters in St. Louis, St. Charles, O' Fallon, St. Peters, Chesterfield, Wildwood, South County, North County and West County.
The average annual rainfall for St. Louis, Missouri is 38.93 inches!The Components of a Gutter System:
The Roof - It takes a well designed roof to drain all of the storm water into the gutters or roof drains.
The Gutter - The gutter (or roof drain in some flat roofs) needs to be designed to capture all the roof drainage and direct the water into the downspouts.
The Downspouts - These are the pipes that carry the water from the gutters to the drain system.
The Drain System - This is the in-ground set of pipes the leads the water away from the structure and into a storm drain or on-site system.
