Seamless gutters are not like regular gutters because they are continuous. They only have joints, and they are located on the corners of the gutters. If you have doubts about taking this route, buckle up because you’ll about to learn what seamless gutters are all about.
Fewer Leaks
While regular gutters work well, they have one flaw. When they age, they can develop leaks where the seams are. Seamless gutters are less likely to leak because they do not have seams where water can escape.
Reduced Buildup of Debris
The seams on regular gutters are placed against one another, and they are connected by seams. Because they are built this way, debris can wedge itself in between the seams. When this happens, water will have nowhere to go, and it will eventually back up onto a roof. If clogs like this occur consistently, moisture will build up on a roof, and its wood surfaces will rot. Since seamless gutters do not consists of multiple, connected panels, debris will never be a major threat, and this means that water will easily move down the drain.
How to Dive Into the World of Seamless Gutters
If you decide to take the leap, you must know that seamless gutters will require maintenance. You will have to clean them on a regular basis. If you neglect maintenance, these gutters will no longer protect your roof like they’re supposed to.
The fastest and easiest way to clean seamless gutters is by blasting the surfaces with a regular leaf blower. Always wear gloves, a mask, and goggles while you’re using a leaf blower for safety.
If you don’t own a leaf blower, you can clean the gutters with a trowel, your hand, or a gutter scoop. For this job, always begin next to the drain. Then, gradually work your way to the center of the gutters. You can start this job anytime, but it’s easier to remove leaves while they are damp or slightly soggy.
