Seamless Rain Gutters In Butte MT
Gutters, also known as rain gutters, are meant to protect your house from water damage. Often underrated, and even overlooked, gutters are your home’s best defense against destructive forces of water.
If you have a thousand square feet roof, one inch of rain means displacements of 600 gallons water around your house. And, too much water falling too close to your home can result in erosion of the soil around it, and can wreak havoc in your basement. Gutters can help funnel rainwater or snow away from your house, saving you from severe consequences.
In Butte, MT, the average rainfall is around 13 inches per year, lower than the US average, 38 inches per year. And, Butte averages 54 inches of snow per year, significantly higher than the US average, 28 inches per year. So you can’t afford to be careless about gutters if you own or planning to own a house in Butte, MT.
Gutters are not a function of the roof; instead, they are a system in themselves and should be treated as such. And, Butte Roofing Pro’s has the expertise and experience in the installation, repair, and replacement of gutters in the city prone to higher rain and snowfall.
Which type of gutters do you need for your home?
There are two main types of gutter systems: Sectional and Seamless. Sectional gutters are composed of separate pieces joined together, creating a pathway for rainwater or melting snow. Sectional gutters – although easy to install – are vulnerable to leaks as they have many joints covered with sealants. Long-term exposure to nature’s elements can wear away at sealants and increase the chances of leakage.
Seamless gutters, as their name suggests, have no seams. And, no seam means no leaks. This single feature has made seamless gutters the most popular choice in Silver Bow County and other parts of Montana. Unlike sectional gutters, seamless gutters are made from one long piece of metal, which can be of aluminum, steel, copper, or vinyl.
The seamless form-factor helps maintain the system’s strength and integrity, so expansion, contraction, cold, or strong wind has little or no impact on the seamless gutter system. Custom-made, seamless rain gutters are designed to fit the specific dimension of your house, and it can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home when designed by gutter ninjas at Butte Roofing Pro.
What Is The Process Of Seamless Gutter Installation?
With the measurement of your home, seamless gutters are designed and assembled on-site with a custom-made cutting machine. And, the compatibility of gutters with your home’s drainage system is of paramount importance when it comes to the seamless gutter system. You probably need professionals for this, unless you’re a complete DIY geek. After assembling the long seamless piece of aluminum, or any other material of your choice, it is hoisted up and prepped for installation. The seamless systems are usually held snugly up against your home and screwed into place.
What Happens When Your Seamless Gutter Leaks?
Although your seamless gutter doesn’t have seams, it has joints. And, over time, these joints can start leaking water when they remain attended for an extended period. Fortunately, repairing a seamless gutter is relatively easy unless you have to replace a whole section. Small leaks can be taken care of with roofing cement or silicon chalk. Before you apply any of these, be sure to clean dust and natural elements from the damaged place. Larger holes can be repaired with cement, chalk, or metal sheet. Use tin snips to cut the patch slightly larger than the area of the hole. Bend it to fit in the gutter over the problem area. Use silicone caulk around the hole and feather it out, then set the patch onto the prepared area. Allow it to set.
On the other hand, regular gutters come with sections that made the system very vulnerable to leaks. It will cost money in the long run, if you choose sectional gutters over seamless ones. However, when your regular gutter is crumpled, you have to remove the gutter hanger in the damaged area and cut out the damaged section. Then, replace it with a new gutter section at least four inches longer than the damaged one. It’s better to use a new one when reinstalling the gutter hanger.
How often should you clean your gutter?
Well, it depends! Professionals, however, recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year. But ideally, depending on your city’s climate and the number of trees around your house, you may need to clean it more frequently. For example, if you have pine trees nearby, you better check your gutters every three or four months, as pines shed a lot. With a little bit of maintenance, you can keep your house protected from downpours and increase your seamless gutter’s longevity.
