What Exactly Is Commercial Gutter Repair?
Gutters are the unsung heroes of commercial infrastructure, silently protecting your establishment from potential water damage. They guide rainwater and melting snow away from your building, safeguarding the roof, walls, foundation, and landscape from water-related damage.
A well-maintained gutter system also helps prevent problems like mold growth and basement flooding, contributing to a healthier and safer environment. Ensuring your gutters are in optimal condition is crucial to maintaining the longevity and integrity of your commercial property.
Signs Your Commercial Property Needs Gutter Repair
Determining if your gutters need repair involves inspecting them for signs of damage or dysfunction. Here are some common indicators that your gutters may need repair:
Visible Damage
If you see visible cracks, splits, or holes in your gutters, it’s a clear sign they need replacing. While small cracks may be repaired, larger ones usually indicate that the system is deteriorating and needs a complete overhaul.
Sagging or Pulling Away
Gutters that sag or pull away from the building are not performing effectively and need replacement. They may not be able to handle the water load, causing overflow that can lead to additional damage to your property.
Persistent Leaks or Overflow
If your gutters consistently leak or overflow during rainfall, despite being cleaned and unclogged, they may be worn out or improperly installed.
Water Damage Marks or Mold
Look for signs of water damage or mold on your building’s exterior. This could mean that water is spilling over the sides of the gutter rather than being directed away.
Foundation Problems
If you notice water pooling around your building’s foundation or signs of water damage in your basement, this could indicate that your gutters are not effectively managing rainwater.
Gutter Age
Most gutters last between 20-30 years. If your gutters are older than this and you’re experiencing problems, it may be time for a replacement.
If you see any of these signs, it’s wise to consult with a professional like Standard Roofing & Restoration. Our team can conduct a thorough inspection and offer expert advice on whether repair or replacement is the best solution for your situation.
Our Commercial Gutter Replacement Process
The process for repairing gutters on a building typically involves several steps to ensure that the new gutters are correctly installed and effectively channel rainwater away from the structure. Here’s a general overview of our process:
Planning
The first step of our process is to assess the existing gutter system and determine the scope of the replacement project. This includes evaluating the condition of the gutters, measuring the length of the roof edges, and selecting the appropriate type and size of gutters for the building.
Material Selection
Next we work with you to determine the material for the new gutters based on factors such as durability, cost, and aesthetics. Common options include aluminum, vinyl, steel, and copper.
Removal of Old Gutters
Then we remove the old gutters from the building, taking care to properly dispose of them. This may involve detaching gutter sections from the roof edge and removing any debris or obstructions.
Preparation of Roof Edge
Next we prepare the roof edge for the installation of the new gutters by cleaning and inspecting it for any damage or issues that need to be addressed. This ensures a smooth and secure attachment of the new gutters.
Assembly
The next steps include gutter cutting and assembly, attaching the new gutters to the roof edge, installing downspouts, and sealing and caulking.
Testing
Once the replacement is complete, we test the new gutter system by running water through it and checking for proper drainage and alignment.
