JUNE & JULY 2017

Right now is a great time to pay extra attention to your roof and gutter system. 
Did you know that foundation damage is one of the biggest issues that homeowners experience from a faulty gutter system? 

Your gutter system should be designed to channel the water off the roof and away from the home’s foundation.  If your gutters are not sloped properly, or if blockage occurs, water can pour over the sides of the gutter and pool around the foundation.  This pooling, over time, can result in mold growth and cracks to your foundation.

Fascia boards that are most likely made of wood, support your gutter system.  When blockage occurs in your gutter system and they fill with water, the boards start to rot and deteriorate.  This rot can also occur to your wood siding on your home.

Another issue with overflowing gutters is the damage and mess it can make to your landscaping. 

We highly recommend the following services for a highly effective gutter and roofing system:

• Do a thorough inspection of your gutter system by checking for loose or leaky gutters.  If your gutter does not drain properly, you could be in for water in your basement or crawl space (or dry rot).  Summer is a good time to ensure proper flow of your downspout system by checking for blockage and making sure they drain away from your foundation.
• Do a thorough inspection of your roofing system and check for any damage or issue that may have occurred during the damp winter.  If your home has an older roof, now might be a good time to start budgeting for replacement (we can steer you towards a great roofer).  The sun can be damaging to roof shingles, so checking and replacing ones that are cracked, buckled, lose or ones missing granules is a good idea.  Flashing around plumbing vents, skylights and chimneys should be checked and repaired as needed.
