Help Your Home With Gutter Services From G.L. Hunt

Homes all across Texas struggle with foundation problems and water damage. At G.L. Hunt, we’ve made it our goal to help homeowners tackle these problems with expert services that can prevent problems from the get-go.

One way we can help keep your property protected is by providing gutter installation services! Follow along with us as we explain how this can help your property stay safe from the hidden threats that rainy weather brings.

What Are Rain Gutters?

Rain gutters act as a mode of transportation for the water that falls onto your roof. Most homes will have a roof that’s made up of sloping elements, allowing gravity to do most of the work.

However, without gutters in place, the rain reaches the edge of the roof and falls straight down — directly in front of your home where your walls meet the soil.

Gutters are your way to control this. Part of the gutter system is installed directly under the edge of your roof to catch the falling water.

Once the water has been caught, it will move down your gutters and flow into the downspout.

At the end is an angled section of pipe, responsible for depositing the water away from your foundation’s direct edge.

How Does Gutter Drainage Protect Your Foundation?

Think of your rain gutter as a slide on a playground — just like a slide needs to jut out to ensure a safe ride, your gutter needs to curve away from the house to effectively redirect water. Without this curve, water won’t be safely guided away from your home’s foundation.

Imagine sliding straight down a slide at the playground — the impact would be immediate and potentially harmful. Similarly, when water flows straight down without a properly curved gutter, it can slowly cause damage to your home’s foundation over time.

Gutters are specifically designed to channel water away from the foundation, preventing issues like mold growth, foundation shifts and cracks in your property. Ensuring your gutters have the necessary curve is crucial for protecting your home from water damage and maintaining its structural integrity.

Prevent Foundation Damage With Gutter Installation

Prevent the powerful force of water from wearing away at your foundation or encouraging deterioration by installing gutters. Gutters come in several materials and finishes, allowing you to choose the most durable and aesthetically pleasing to your home’s style. They can be connected to other drainage solutions as well, ensuring the rain water that falls on your home is channeled away effectively.

If your gutters are a little worse for wear, it’s time to replace them with a new set. Our team will carefully remove the damaged or aging gutter system and install a brand new set, ensuring your home is ready to weather the worst Texas thunderstorms without damage to your home or foundation!

Maintain Proper Care Of Your Gutters

Following a professional gutter install, you should expect your system to work properly! However, as time goes on, it’s not uncommon for the quality of your gutters to decline. Luckily, our team is here to keep your home protected by installing LeafGuard!

It’s not just rain that slides into your gutters. It can also be twigs, leaves or anything else that falls onto your roof. This debris can accumulate in your pipes and form blockages. As a result, water can’t be efficiently expelled from your pipe.

It might overflow from the channel and fall directly against your foundation from overhead. When this happens over and over, homeowners may feel frustrated by how often they have to clear the clogs. LeafGuard systems can significantly lower the frequency that homeowners are required to clean debris out of their gutters. LeafGuard prevents more leaves and twigs from entering the top of the gutters, but allows water to flow smoothly. If you’re interested in LeafGuard installation, let our team know!
