Gutter Services in Louisville

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, immediately acquiring expert gutter services in Louisville. 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 technicians at Elite Roofing will also make sure you receive careful, regular maintenance to provide absolute safety when the rain starts falling.

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 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 can immediately respond with the appropriate solution before a single drop hits the ground.

Just a few examples of services required by your gutters could 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 damage or alternatively 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 experts handle this for you.

Take Initiative & Be Prepared

It’s always better to be prepared than having to regret something in hindsight. As our 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.
