Damages

If neglected, small debris in your system could lead to a blockage. If water isn’t draining, it could mean any number of issues. We’ve listed just a few of the top damages below:

  • Basement Flooding When your system becomes clogged, pooling water can then cause the base of your roof to break down due to mold/mildew. Also, stagnant water at the foundation can cause discoloration and cracks.
  • Yard Erosion When your water doesn’t have the proper path away from your home it can ultimately wash out your yard and do damage to the surrounding area.
  • Mold & Mildew Pooling water at the base of your home can also slowly seep into the lower levels, causing basement flooding.
  • Discoloration An overflowing system due to clogs causes water to run down the siding or brick of your home discoloring it.
  • Insects  Still water is no doubt the ultimate breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects, keeping your system clog-free is the best way to prevent this issue.

Types of Gutters

Van Martin has several different types of gutters available for all of our customers. We have different materials, colors, and different styles of gutters. A few of our most common systems are listed below:

  • Aluminum Aluminum materials are one of the most popular options for their affordability and easy installation and maintenance. The downside to aluminum is how easily it can be damaged when impacted by debris or when enough pressure is applied.
  • Vinyl Vinyl gutters are extremely lightweight and affordable. Like aluminum, the downside to these systems is that they are more susceptible to damages. Also, in extremely cold conditions they can crack.
  • Steel One of the other main materials used, steel is extremely durable but also can tend to be more on the pricey side.
  • Copper Another extremely durable option is copper gutters. These systems have great curb appeal but also can tend to be more expensive when compared to their counterparts.
  • Wood Wood gutters are available but Van Martin mainly installs these on historic sites where matching the building is more important than costly repairs and maintenance.

Maintenance

Remember to check your system at least twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. Simply check for any small or large debris that may be interrupting water flow. If you’re unable to clean them or you’d prefer to hire someone, Van Martin offers gutter cleaning as one of our services. Additionally, you can bypass maintenance altogether by installing gutter guards.
