Frequently Asked Gutter Questions

Seamless rain gutters are just as the name implies – seamless. There isn’t a break in the gutter.

Since there is no seam, there are no leaks. This is why they are the most popular type of gutter today. The only seams are at the inside and outside corners. Verdon Seamless Gutters are silicone, screwed, and warranted for five years not to leak.

Seamless gutters are usually made from aluminum, but they can be made from copper. They are made with a seamless gutter machine that is brought to your home by the gutter contractor. Each gutter is customized to fit your home.

Many guttering sections are all pieced together by snap-in-place connectors with a conventional sectional gutter system. Over time these sections form leaks in the seams and can cause wood rot behind the gutter.

If your house's exterior has mold or peeling paint, it could be a sign that your gutters need fixing or replacing. Snow and ice can build up within the gutters, causing damage or leaks to the home. (It is a myth that gutters cause ice buildup – instead, it is caused by heat escaping too quickly from your home.)

Clogged downspouts and debris in gutters can cause them to pull away or sag from home. They may not be pitched correctly, leaving standing water that attracts insects and mold.

When it comes to keeping leaves out of your gutters and downspouts, there is no reason to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to solve this common problem. There are many new and expensive gimmicks on the market today. Verdon Seamless Gutters can solve these problems without spending all your hard-earned money!

Other signs that the gutters may not be working correctly are cracks in the foundation of the house or water in the basement. Clogged gutters can cause water buildup, forcing it to overflow and causing water buildup around the foundation.

In any of these situations, getting a gutter professional such as Verdon Seamless Gutters to assess the problem is the best step you can take to correcting your problem.

Ice that continually freezes in gutters can be a pain in the neck for homeowners. Once the ice has clogged the gutter or the drainpipe, thawing causes water to overflow the gutter, and subsequent freezing can lead to roof damage and dangerous ice patches on the ground. Understanding what causes ice build-up is the first step in solving the problem.

The main cause of ice build-up on the roof has to do with Poor Attic Insulation. Heat escaping through the roof of the house melts the bottom of the roof's snow. This melted snow trickles down until it reaches the edge of the roof. When it reaches the gutter, it is no longer warmed by the house's heat, and it freezes into ice. This process can eventually build up large amounts of ice on and around the gutter.

Other reasons for ice build-up are blocked drainpipes or improperly placed gutters.
