With fall in full swing, debris can cause a wealth of problems if there are seamed gutters installed on your Bedford, TX home. Gutters keep water and snow from damaging a home’s roof and foundation, but seamed gutters tend to be less effective. Seamless gutters can help you save money in a variety of ways. Let’s look at the various reasons to choose seamless gutter installation.
1. Less Frequent Repairs and Replacement
Gutter systems that contain seams don’t last as long as seamless gutters. This is due to loosening of the joints, creating weak points along the length of the gutter system. Seamless gutters are made of one long piece that spans the length of the roof. There are no weak joints that can fall apart.
2. Minimize Roof Damage
Debris is a common problem with all gutter systems, but those that contain connecting pieces tend to get clogged at a much higher rate. If debris clogs gutters to the extent where it touches your roof, the moisture can rot the wood and begin lifting shingles.
3. Prevent Siding Damage
Water leaks near joints of traditional gutters are a common problem. This downpour can lead to siding damage on your Colleyville, TX home. Seamless gutters do not provide this opportunity for disaster and help avoid repairs in the long run.
4. Avoid Foundation Repairs
Seamless gutters are better at routing rainwater away from your home’s foundation. If water pools at the foundation, it can lead to soil erosion underneath. Whether you have a concrete foundation or your home sits on pilings, having to replace this component of your home can drain the bank.
5. Keep Your Home From Flooding
If enough rain accumulates around your home for any length of time, the ground will have difficulty absorbing it. Floodwater can seep into your garage or underneath doors leading into the home. Seamless gutter systems will route the rainwater away from the home no matter how hard or fast the rain falls.
