Homeowners looking to upgrade the gutters on their home typically have two available options – traditional sectional gutters or seamless gutters. While both systems are designed to perform the same function of moving rainwater away from the home, seamless gutter systems offer many advantages over sectional ones. Let’s explore the many benefits afforded by seamless gutters.

Minimal Maintenance Requirements

Seamless gutters require far less maintenance than traditional sectional gutters. That’s because sectional systems are affixed to homes in sections, and each section is joined together using caulk or connector pieces. This method creates numerous seams in the gutter basin where debris can accumulate and cause clogs. These clogs must be cleaned by hand after climbing up a ladder – which can be a dangerous chore. Seamless gutters, on the other hand, do not have these sections. This helps to eliminate clogs and the need for constant maintenance.

No Leaks or Failure Points

The sections of traditional gutters can also separate over time. When this happens, cracks can form in the system, which can lead to leaks and cause failure points to appear in the gutters. Not only can debris pile up in these cracks, but water rainwater can leak out and cause damage such as landscape erosion, roof and fascia rot, and foundation damage. Seamless gutters don’t have sections that pull apart over time, meaning homeowners don’t have to worry about leaks or failure points in the system.

Made to Measure

Unlike sectional gutter systems that are installed using multiple pieces and fasteners that can deteriorate over time, seamless gutters are made to fit the exact dimensions of your home. This ensures that the system will stretch from end to end without seams, meaning homeowners can enjoy a more durable and effective system for years to come. Additionally, seamless systems are cut and installed on site by professional installers.
