Gutters
Gutters in San Antonio, TX

Texas can experience severe weather, with the potential for snowstorms during the winter and heavy rainfall in the spring and summer. Because of this, the gutters on Texas homes are commonly faced with two types of problems:

Gutter Clogs and Leaks

When rainfall is heavy, it can cause gutters to clog. That’s because debris enters the gutters along with the rainwater, then gets trapped in the gutter system, preventing the water from moving through the gutters and channeling away from the home. Additionally, gutters with weak spots can pull apart and start to leak when subjected to large amounts of rain. These clogs and leaks can cause issues such as roof rot, mold growth in the fascia, landscape erosion, basement flooding, and foundation damage.

Gutters and Ice Dams

Many people think that gutters contribute to the formation of ice dams on the roof during the winter, but this is actually not true. The cause of ice dams is poor attic insulation. When heat escapes from the home via the roof, the snow on top is melted and the water flows to the edge of the roof. The portion of the roof that extends away from the home, where the gutter is mounted, is not heated, so the water meets the gutter and refreezes. As this cycle continues, an ice dam is formed, and this heavy ice can cause severe roof damage.
