Let’s talk about gutters!

Save your roof and foundation from costly water damage by keeping your gutters in good condition and using gutter guards. Contact us for a free estimate on repairing or replacing your aging gutters with new aluminum or copper gutters. Listed below are some common gutters problems:

Sagging Gutters – If your gutters are clogged up with debris such as leaves, twigs, and standing water, overflowing water isn’t the only problem you’ll face. The weight from this debris can also cause your gutters to sag. This is usually caused by loose hangers (the hardware that secures the gutters to the house). Gutter guards pull out when they can’t hold the extra weight. You can often fix this by simply tightening the screws again, but it could also be caused by the hangers being spaced too far apart. In this case, you’ll need to install new ones, ensuring that they’re close enough together.
Leaks and Holes – If you notice a stream of water pouring down from the middle of your gutters, it’s likely that your gutters have sprung a leak. Leaks and holes can happen pretty easily and are usually simple to fix. A gutter sealant can be used to caulk the seams to repair leaky seams, while larger holes will need to be patched.
Damaged Gutters – Gutter damage can also happen in other ways. The main culprit being the weather. During a heavy rainstorm or windstorm, gutters can be knocked down or damaged. In this case, fixing them might be as simple as rehanging them, or you might need to replace certain sections. In that case, there’s not much you can do to prevent it, other than making sure your gutters are properly installed and aren’t already loose.
Improperly Pitched Gutters – In order for water to flow properly, gutters need to be angled (pitched) correctly. The slope should sit at the correct angle, which is at least a quarter inch for every 10 feet of gutter. Sometimes this is as easy as bending it into place, but you might need to totally reinstall the hangers, which is a much bigger job.
An Inadequate Gutter System – Some homes just don’t have any gutters at all, which can cause all sorts of problems. It’s important to have a proper system in place to help prevent damage to your siding and foundation during rainstorms. If you need new gutters, it’s best to get them professionally installed. Doing so will help you avoid most of the common problems we discussed above.

A Few Fun Facts About Washington, DC

There’s no J in Washington DC.
Although the streets in the city are set up in letters, there is no J Street because the colonists planned out the city before the alphabet was finished and at the time there was no letter J.

DC stands for District of Columbia and it was deemed so to honor the famed explorer.
