CONKLIN Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions Answered about Gutters and
Metal Roofing
Did you know? Last winter alone there
was millions of dollars in insured losses in the US due to burst pipes,
frozen gutters and other weather-related problems.
Question -- What is the primary purpose of gutters?
Answer -- Gutters and downspout system prevent rain from pouring down
the sides of your house or business. Pooling water that collects around
foundation can cause structural damage over time.
Question -- How do gutters get clogged?
Answer -- Debris such as roof asphalt, dirt and sand combined with leaves,
acorns, pine cones, seedlings and branches may accumulate in gutters obstructing
water drainage. This material combines to form a formidable block in gutters
and down spouts.
Question -- What happens as a result of gutter clogging?
Answer -- Clogged gutters will wash over water and drip down the sides
of the house causing siding damage, discoloration, staining, windows and
door damage over time.
Question -- How often should gutters be cleaned and maintenanced?
Answer -- This depends on where you live. You should have your gutters
cleaned and check at least once a year. If you are surrounded by trees,
you may want to clean out your gutters twice a year.
Question -- What is so different about Seamless Gutters? Why are
they better?
Answer -- Seamless gutters won't leak at seams because there are none;
sections join only at inside and outside corners and at downspout outlets.
Question -- How much does a new gutter system cost?
Answer -- The cost of a new gutter system will vary depending on the type
of gutter material used – aluminum, steel, or copper, total linear footage,
the amount and length of down spouts, number of mitered corners and whether
or not the fascia boards, which the gutters attach to, need to be replaced
or not. The degree of difficulty is also factored in depending on the
type installation performed.
