Have you ever wondered why your home doesn’t experience flooding even after heavy rainfall? It’s because of your gutters. They are primarily responsible for keeping water away from the foundation of your home, preventing soil erosion and basement flooding. This is why choosing the right gutter system and maintaining it properly are so important.
There are two types of gutters: sectional and seamless. The former are composed of individual sections of gutters fastened together at the seams. Seamless gutters, in contrast, are composed of a single piece of material that runs continuously along the edge of your roof. While sectional gutters are easier to install, seamless gutters offer a better protection for your home.
Read on as gutter and windows installation expert Universal Roofing & Exteriors discusses the benefits of seamless gutters.
1. Leak Protection
Seamless gutters are custom designed to fit your roofline precisely. They are constructed using a specialized gutter machine. This streamlined design offers no resistance to air and water flow, reducing the chances of leaks and overflow.
2. Low Maintenance
Since seamless gutters contain fewer joints, they offer better clog resistance. They have fewer gaps where dirt and organic litter can collect and cause clogs. Much like energy-efficient windows, seamless gutters are low maintenance.
3. Better Aesthetics
Although gutters can be improved with the quality of finish, seamless gutters offer a sleeker, cleaner appeal because they contain fewer joints. This minimalist look can better complement modern homes.
