GUTTER REPAIR SERVICES

Professional gutter repair services in Ballantyne East, Charlotte NC area are difficult to find.  But at Charlotte Ace Roofing we offer our customers our professional services and assure their full satisfaction. 

A home with 1,500-square-foot roof sheds about 1,000 gallons of water for every inch of rain. That’s a lot of water, 1,000 gallons! If you want to prevent water from destroying your home and damaging the foundation of your house, you need to make sure that it is all gathered and channeled away from your home. 

If the gutters are abandoned, they will carry rubble which has accumulated over time. In addition, there will be standing water. That debris and water together can weigh as much as 370 lbs. and will eventually damage the angle of the gutter. If the gutter’s pitch is damaged, standing water can back up into the home or home’s foundation.  

CLOGGING

In the fall time, we get a lot of pine needles and leaves blown around and end up on our roofs. When it rains or gets a little windy they end up in our gutter where they eventually decompose and pack down into a solid sheet. Also, dust, dirt and the granules from asphalt shingles can cause gutter clogging.

LEAKING

There are a lot of reasons that can cause leaks in the gutters. The biggest factor is corrosion which is followed by falling branches. Sometimes people make leaks intentionally by drilling holes to assist drainage in sagging sections. But it is absolutely not the proper way to handle sagging. If you have a leak, you should make sure it gets repaired immediately. That way you will avoid a major damage to your foundation or walls if your gutters are clogged.

BENT GUTTERS

When metal gutters get hit by something heavy, they get bent, and vinyl gutters can break. During a big storm when large branches break off of the trees, they strike the gutters. Also, when people lean ladders against gutters, they can bend them.  Bending can crack a gutter and lead to leaks, so if you spot a bent gutter, replacing that section is necessary.

DISCONNECTED FROM DOWNSPOUT 

Any big storm with high winds can shake a connection loose. When the gutters get disconnected from downspout the water falls into your foundation and causes leaks, mold, and erosion. In that case, it can be fixed easily just by reattachment. 

If you need gutter repair services in Ballantyne East, Charlotte NC area, call Charlotte Ace Roofing today and we will be glad to assist you.

CLOGGED GUTTERS CAN DAMAGE YOUR ROOF

Gutter cleaning is an easy task that you may not get around to very often. It’s not that you don’t know they need cleaning, it’s just that you have other projects to do around the house. Even if you’re busy, it’s important that you clean your gutters at least once a year, hire a local roofing contractor, or install lower-maintenance gutters, because the water that spills over clogged gutters can damage your home’s roof.

The Job of a Gutter

Gutters aren’t just there to make the bottom of your roof look good. A gutter’s job is to divert water during rain. Gutters collect water from your roof and move in toward the ground, simply placing it into a drain or allowing it to flow out farther into the yard away from your house. Imagine what would happen to your lower roofs if you didn’t have gutters. Water would cascade down your top roof and land on the lower roof areas and on the ground. The same thing happens when you have clogged gutters. Some or all of the water that was supposed to be diverted into a drain moves over the side of the gutter and down onto the ground instead.

What Happens When Gutters Don’t Do Their Job?

When gutters don’t do their job, many problems can arise. Roof Damage and home foundation concerns can arise when a lot of water falls near the base of the house. If the land doesn’t slope away from the house, water can pool around the foundation. This can lead to cracked foundations, as water moves into tiny cracks.

Pooling water near the base of your home can cause a larger problem of shifting walls and foundation. A giant puddle of water presses against your walls, causing them to move and crack. 

The Solution to Cluttered Gutters

There are many simple solutions that can keep your gutters flowing clean and clear this year and every year. You can remove sources of debris by not planting trees too close building. You can ensure that your gutters work with the rest of your roofing system by maintaining that roof. The homeowner can hire a local roofing company to clean your gutters. When you install a gutter guard, you add a protective cover to your gutters. This cover moves water into the gutter and sheds debris so that your gutters will never clog again.

From roofing troubles to foundation troubles to landscape erosion, a cluttered gutter can cause innumerable problems in and around your home and garden. Make gutter cleaning easy this year. Learn more about Gutter Service and Installation and contact us today to turn clogged gutters into an easy, low-maintenance drainage system for your home. It may very well extend the life or your roof!
