Gutter Repair & INstallation in Louisville, KY

Providing Roof Drainage Solutions for 10+ Years

Sometimes we don’t notice problems until they are staring us in the face, and unfortunately, this tends to happen with gutters. These long pipes that border our houses often go relatively unnoticed until the rain starts pouring down. Before you know it, the accumulated water that rapidly collects from blocked, cracked, or incorrectly installed gutters will begin draining into the edges of the roof, or even gushing along the base of your house’s foundation.

Neither of the resulting scenarios is pretty—you will either end up with a leaking, oozing roof, or a washed-out, flooded basement and foundation. In some unlucky cases, you might end up with both, and then you are truly in some deep water. The best way to avoid these terrible situations is by taking initiative and immediately contact Elite Roofing for gutter repair or new gutter installation in Louisville.

Types of Gutter Services

There are actually several reasons why your gutters may not be working as well as they could. It is key to have a qualified Louisville gutter installation technician examine the gutters and their fixture connections to your roof to precisely identify the type of problem plaguing your gutter. This way, our specialists at Elite Roofing can immediately respond with the appropriate solution before a single drop hits the ground.

A Few Examples Of Services You May Need for Your Gutters Include:

• Unblocking downpipes: Rainwater downpipes, also known as drain spouts, downspouts, or roof drain pipes, are tubes that conduct the flow of water away from the main building. If your downpipes are obstructed by rotten leaves, collected mud, small stones, and any other muck, they will no longer direct rain away from the house but allow it to flood throughout the building. We can provide pipe guards and leaf guards that keep the downpipes clear and protect the normal flow of water.

• Repairing cracked or leaking joints: Just a small crack or hole in the exterior of your gutter or wedge in the gutter’s joints can lead to a large leak, which entirely defeats the purpose of the gutter in the first place. Our Louisville gutter installation team can replace the entire unit if the crack is extensive or recurs in multiple locations.

• Gutter cleaning: While it may sound obvious, the best way to avoid blocked gutters is by having them regularly cleaned. Dirty, overfilled gutters are overburdened gutters. The more gunk that fills up the pipes, the more likely it is that they will become strained by weight and liable to crack. Additionally, proper cleaning will reduce mold and algae that gather in these moist pipes, leading to further damage of the gutter’s integrity. Such rigorous cleaning is difficult to accomplish without the right tools, so it is best to let one of our Louisville gutter maintenance experts handle this for you.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Gutters?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your gutters can be a tough call for most homeowners that don't work in the roofing industry. We always suggest having a professional take a look and better explain to you the options you have available. For the most part, if the issue is huge and you already have an older gutter, it would be best to have replacement. This will will help you save more money in the long run.

The Importance Of Gutter Maintenance

Prepare for the worst beforehand, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble in the long run. Installing gutters properly the first time is always the best option, but our roofers will also make sure you receive careful, regular maintenance to provide absolute safety when the rain starts falling.

It’s always better to be prepared than having to regret something in hindsight. As our Louisville gutter maintenance experts at Elite Roofing know, taking initiative and resolving a potential issue before it becomes a major problem is the best way to avoid being flooded in your own home.

How Often Do Gutters Need to Be Cleaned?

From years of experience working on gutters, we suggest to have gutters cleaned two times a year. Possibly more, and this will vary depending on your type of home and its surroundings. To be sure, it is always best to reach out to your local roofing maintenance experts to help you evaluate your roof.
