Why Do You Need Seamless Gutters?


In a state like Michigan that experiences frequent rainfall, seamless gutters are of utmost importance.

Water can be very damaging to the structure of your home, and gutters are your first defense against water.

Having seamless gutters on your home will prevent rain water from flowing off your roof right onto your head as you enter and exit your home. Without gutters, sheets of water will run right off of your roof.

Seamless, as opposed to sectional, gutters minimize annoying, dripping leaks.

Gutters protect your expensive concrete work. Constant dripping water can erode away your walkways, driveways, paver sidewalks, and brickwork.

Gutters protect your soil from erosion, preserving your home's curb appeal and keeping your landscaping in tact!

Gutters direct water away from your home's foundation, reducing mold, mildew, oxidation, and insect infestation in your basement, foundation, and crawl spaces.

Seamless gutters also add value to your home. They are great for resale! They show that you care about water management and maintaining your home!

Do You Need New Gutters? Here Are Some Tips That Will Help You Figure That Out!

You may not pay that much attention to your gutters, but it is very important that they are functioning properly. One of the main reasons that it is important is because you do not want rain water to be pooling near your foundation, as this could potentially cause water leaks in your basement. Another reason is that rain water can erode away your concrete pavers and landscaping. An easy way to fix these problems is to ensure that you have properly functioning seamless gutters.


Reasons you might need new seamless rain gutters include:

  • Your gutters have leaky corners when it rains
  • Your gutters overflow when it rains
  • Water goes behind the gutters
  • Your gutters have visible cracks
  • The paint on your gutters is peeling - this means that the gutters are leaking
  • There are water marks below your gutters - indicating that your gutters are leaking and leaving these marks behind
  • Your gutters are pulling away from the house
