Each year homeowners spend thousands of dollars on landscaping and to have it get damaged and washed away is definitely throwing your money away. Seamless Gutters also help to keep your landscaping from getting damage and the washing away. That is a lot of water coming off you home and dumping against your foundation. That is in the top five in the whole United States. The average yearly rainfall in Mobile is 67 inches. Seamless Gutters are definitely a must in our area. Baldwin County has a lot of new homes built on flat farm land without any drainage. Building the home up and installing seamless gutters to move the water away would have prevented the expensive repair. The home had settled so much at the foundation it caused major cracks in the slab. About ten years later they had major cracks in their living room where water was even coming up through. One example was a homeowner that built a concrete slab home in 2006 on flat farm land with no seamless gutters and no drainage away from the home. But for homes on a concrete slabs most water damage is not seen until its too late. Most homes with basements can see what not moving water away from the foundation can do. The purpose of seamless gutters is to move the roof water off the overhang and away from the foundation to prevent damage. In other parts of the country gutters are part of a new construction or a remodel, its just insurance on the home.

Over the years I have seen numerous damage due to the lack of seamless gutters.

Seamless Gutters aren’t glamorous but they are definitely a very important part of moving water away from your foundation. Most builders but not all would rather build a new home and invest the money that the seamless gutters cost in the kitchen or master bath to help sell the home. I believe in my own opinion, the lack of seamless gutters in Baldwin County is due to lack of education of the damage it does to the home. So the lack of not having the equipment to do the job is not the issue. My father bought his first seamless gutter machine in the 1970’s. Gutters have been around for hundreds of years but the first seamless gutter machines were designed in the 1960’s. When meeting with our customers, their number one question they ask is “Why are all these homes without Seamless Gutters?” We’ll it is honestly a great question, and I hear it about twice a day.
