THE PURPOSE OF GUTTERING SYSTEMS
The purpose of guttering systems is to collect water (rain) from the roofing
area and disperse the water away from your home.
Properly configured downspouts (leaders, drain pipes) are very essential.
A faulty guttering system can contribute to damage to Soffit & Fascia, Shingles,
Building Foundations, Driveways, Walkways, Landscaping.
Guttering systems require maintenance to insure protection for your home.
Make sure your gutters are free from debris, leaves, granules from shingles, birds nest.
The extreme exposure to nature can also cause sealant failures.
Snow & Ice can loosen fasteners and should be repaired immediately to prevent costly repairs.
HIDDEN HANGERS FOR BEST HOLDING POWER
A hidden hanger is screwed to the fascia board and screws don't back out.
Standard gutter spikes back out due to contraction and expansion of the gutter, becoming increasingly loose until they pull loose from the fascia and fall down. Loose gutters also increases the chance of wood rot at the fascia
board and along the eaves of the home.
