Gutter System Problems

Gutters and downpipes that are blocked – A regular problem that Roofers Chesterfield encounter with customers is blocked gutter systems. Your guttering can be prone to blocking, especially in the autumn and winter months with silt, debris, weeds, moss, fallen leaves and other objects. If left, this can lead to complications such as flooding as it prevents the flow of rainwater from your roof to the central drainage. Flooding of water and leaks can potentially lead to structural and foundational damage through water ingress. It can also lead to damage and decay to your fascia and soffit boards.

Although the problems associated with blocked gutter systems can be complicated, the actual blockages themselves can easily be repaired. Blockages are solved by simply removing the objects, leaves, silt moss, dirt etc that are preventing the safe transportation of rainwater. At Gutter Cleaning Chesterfield, our roofing specialists consistently recommend customers to survey their gutters and downpipes as a matter of routine. This is particularly important in the autumn and winter seasons. This is a period when leaves fall from trees and can make their way in to your gutter and downpipes. By surveying and maintaining your gutter system, you can have confidence that they are clear so water can safely be transported away from your property. Our roofing experts can inspect and clean your guttering. They can also install gutter guards which will make sure your gutter and downpipes are always free from blockages.

Sagging Gutters – gutters that are regularly blocked can show signs of sagging. The additional stress of the blockage and pooling water can cause the brackets supporting the guttering to fail. When this happens, the gutter sags. Another factor that leads to sagging gutters is poor installation. If the brackets are unequally spaced or not firmly fitted the guttering is likely to sag. Gutter Cleaning Chesterfield, know how displeasing sagging gutter systems are to look at. In addition, they can cause an overflow of rainwater and be a potential health and safety hazard if the guttering was to completely separate from the brackets.

Insufficient fall – a gutter that has been installed with an inadequate fall has the potential for the rainwater to backup. The lack of a slope means the rainwater is unable to flow through the full drainage system and therefore does not reach the main drainage. The stagnating water can overflow, especially during period of heavy rainfall. Roofers Chesterfield regularly advise our clients to have skilled and competent contractors to install guttering and roof related components.

General wear and tear– as with all parts of a property, gutters and downpipes have a natural lifespan. Over a period, gutters and downpipes can show signs of general decay. They can split, crack, have frayed edges and become crooked and discoloured. Gutters and downpipes designed from PVC are a modern substitute to timber and iron. If you are able, aim to install new gutter systems when you have any other roof related carried out. This could potentially be more cost effective.

The function of a gutter system is to safely carry rainwater from a roof and transport it to the central drainage network. The absence of any gutters and downpipes would result in rainwater failing to safely flow away from a building. Left unchecked, this could cause significant damage, possibly to the foundations and internal structure of a building. Water ingress can lead to internal damp problems, flooding, occurrences of mould and mildew and defects to the plastering and paint finish. Consequently, gutters and downpipes, ultimately provide protection to a buildings structure and foundations. Get in touch with Gutter Cleaning Chesterfield today for further details on our gutter care solutions and your free quote.
