By now, you have learned or know how gutters play an important role in keeping your home safe from flooding, corrosion, mold, and other expensive problems. You also know that there are many pieces and parts that make a gutter system successful.
Yet, no gutter system is complete without a downspout, which is a key component for carrying and directing rainwater away from the foundation of your home, barn or business. Typically, this is an additional channel of the system that will continue to carry and deposit water away from the house’s foundation, ranging anywhere from one to three feet away. With proper grading and good soil, this component can help protect your yard, garden and landscaping.
If you are not familiar with downspouts, you have probably seen them on homes at one point or another. These drainage pipes often run vertically on the sides of homes or buildings to continue the flow pathway from the roof down and away from the home. A downspout is placed about every 40-feet around a house to enable and ensure it can handle and properly direct any capacity of water.
Based on the size and shape of your home, our team will provide you with a recommendation as to the number you need and where they should be placed. We will work with you to make sure you have the right gutter system that works for you.
If you are nervous about this impacting the appearance of your home, the seasoned professionals at Williamson Gutters can help you find a solution that meets your expectations. With a wide variety of materials and options, lengths and cuts, we can work with you to ensure your system is fully integrated and matches your unique style and home’s aesthetic.
While they are really important in the overall function of your gutter system, they also need to be regularly checked for leaves and debris. Unfortunately, given its curved shape, when leaves, twigs and other outdoor pieces get inside, it can be even more difficult for homeowners to clean or remove. This can cause serious backup in the piping, and it may take specialized tools or high water pressure to push items out in order to clear the pathway. Whether you leave it be or use a tool to clean it out, it could break or damage the final pieces of your rain channels.
But rest assured, at Williamson Gutters, we have just the thing you need to prevent this kind of headache. One of the easiest and best ways you can protect them is by adding a guard to your gutters. A leaf guard adds the right amount of protection to keep falling debris and leaves from entering your gutters in the first place, so these unwanted items don’t wash down and into your continued pipes.
We use a trusted style of leaf guard that offers the ultimate protection, and is an integral piece in the performance of your gutter system. Whether you wanted a screened look, a single piece that is a hood and gutter in one, or a filter – we can find the solution that fits your vision, and budget without skimping on performance or reliability.
In the San Antonio area, we recommend the use of rain guards due to our windy winters. Even though it can be particularly mild in terms of temperature, wind speeds average around 10 miles an hour from January to July.
