What is the purpose of gutters?

Guttering form part of a water drainage system for any kind of property. They prevent permanent damage caused by rain water floods in Cape Town. If there are no gutters, heavy rain will flow down the walls of a building and gather on the ground below. This can cause a lot of damage to paint-job, windows or any other structures that aren’t protected.

What are seamless gutters?

Seamless gutters have sections that only join at the inside and outside corners of the gutter. In addition, they join at downspout outlets. They are the most popular kind of guttering because they’re highly effective. The biggest selling point is that they don't have any seams which could potentially leak due to lots of pressure from flowing rain water.

What are some reasons for replacing my gutters?

You should aim to check on the condition of your gutters at least once a year. There are plenty of reasons why they might require replacing. Common reasons for replacing your gutters in Cape Town include: 1.Clogged or leaky gutters that have the potential to cause basement leaks, mould and other foundation problems. In addition, if the water can’t flow through the gutter and remains stagnant, the gutter becomes the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes. 2.Old worn-out gutters are unattractive and reduce the value of your property. 3.Peeling paint caused by gutter leakage. 4.Your old guttering may have become bent or dented. They are pulling away from the wall or roof and they can’t be reattached or reworked. 5.You want to change the colour of your gutters or paint them. 6.The drainage capacity of your current guttering is not efficient and you want to install a larger gutter with more downspout systems.

How do I know if my gutters aren’t working well?

You can evaluate the performance of your gutter when it’s raining in Cape Town. If you can hear large amounts of water hitting the ground or pouring over the sides of the gutter, there could be a blockage. It’s also possible for the gutter itself to be misaligned and preventing the rainwater from flowing easily. In addition, peeling paint or corroded wood, generally indicates that the gutter is blocked. If you notice mould and see puddles of water forming around the outside of your house, it’s a clear indication that there are drainage problems.

Can I install gutters on my own?

Yes, you can install gutters on your own if you consider yourself capable of DIY projects. Guttering can be purchased at most hardware stores in Cape Town and it’s relatively affordable. If you’re going to install a guttering system on your own, you’ll definitely need a ladder and all necessary power tools. On the contrary, it’s advisable to hire a professional that knows exactly what they are doing. Gutters don’t work properly if they are misaligned. This means a guttering professional’s skills and judgement will go a long way.
