Why should I replace my gutters?

If your gutter system is beyond repair and isn’t replaced in a timely manner, it can lead to costly, lasting water damage. This damage can extend from your home and belongings all the way to the foundation of your home. Please allow our contractors to evaluate the state of your gutter system and determine if it can be repaired or needs to be replaced.

How often should I have my gutters cleaned?

The frequency of your home’s need for gutter services will largely depend on the trees in your area. For example, if your gutter is surrounded by trees that shed heavily, you should have your gutter cleaned at least four times a year. If you don’t live near trees that shed heavily, twice a year may be enough. The contractors at Thunder Bay Roofing will let you know how often you should have your gutters cleaned once they’ve evaluated your gutter system.

Why do I need downspouts?

Rain gutters with no downspouts will often fail to properly direct water away from your home and your home’s foundation. This can lead to costly, lasting damage, negating the purpose of the gutter system. Downspouts will guide the water away from your home, into the street, and much closer to a proper drainage system, helping to prevent water damage.

What Are Gutters?

Gutters are an essential foundation of the water management system to protect your home and prevent water damage. They’re channels that collect and divert rainwater away from the roof edge, down the sides of the building, and safely away from the foundation. Gutters serve several critical functions that contribute to the long-term durability and integrity of a building’s structure.

Gutter Components

A gutter system consists of several components that work together to effectively manage water flow:

Gutters: The horizontal channels that are attached to the edge of the roof. They collect rainwater as it runs off the roof.
Downspouts: Vertical pipes connected to the gutters. Downspouts direct the water from the gutters to the ground or a drainage system.
End Caps: Fitted on the ends of the gutters, these caps close off the system, preventing water from spilling out.
Elbows: Bent pipes that are used to change the direction of the downspout, guiding water away from the foundation.
Hangers: Brackets that support and secure the gutter system to the roof or fascia board.

Types of Gutters

There are various types of gutters and materials used for gutters:

Materials: Common gutter materials include aluminum, vinyl, steel, and copper. The choice of material can depend on factors like climate, budget, and the aesthetic of the building.
Styles: The two main styles are K-style gutters, which have a decorative front that resembles crown molding, and half-round gutters, which are exactly what they sound like—half a round tube.

Thunder Bay Roofing’s Gutter Services

Seamless Extended Aluminum Gutters

Seamless extended aluminum gutters are made from a single piece of aluminum. Because the pieces haven’t been partitioned into sections, they look better, last longer, resist leaks better, and require less maintenance than traditional gutter systems.

Durable Extruded Aluminum Downspouts

Extruded aluminum downspouts are aluminum pipe devices attached to your gutter system. They bolster your gutters by carrying water farther away from your home, ensuring it doesn’t pool onto your home’s foundation. This helps further prevent water damage to your home, your home’s foundation, and your possessions.
