When people notice water damage in their attic, they assume that their roof needs to be fixed. They are surprised when they hear that the roof is fine, but the gutters need to be replaced. Older gutters were installed in sections. Seams were formed where two sections were joined. Over time these seams deteriorate and start leaking. When it rains, water always leaks out of the gutter in the same places. Eventually they wear away the siding and water damage occurs in the home. The roofing contractor may recommend that Seamless Gutters in Greenwich CT be installed.
Seamless gutters are custom gutters that minimize seams. They run the entire length of the side of the home without a seam. Seams are only formed as gutters turn corners. When it’s time to install seamless gutters, the contractor arrives with a machine on the back of a truck. There are large tubes of vinyl or galvanized steel that will be used to make the seamless gutter. The gutter materials are fed into one side of the machine that will form the gutter shape. As it exits the machine, the contractor guides gutter on the ground.
