Repairs to gutters means climbing ladders and getting up high. There is risk involved, of course, so if you'd prefer to leave it to the experts, that's understandable. Otherwise, do your homework on all the safety aspects of the job if you intend doing it yourself.

You will need a good, strong sturdy ladder, one with wide rubber feet to ensure proper grounding. You will also need a reliable assistant to hold the ladder - don't climb high ladders on your own. You will need the proper tools and an understanding of what you are looking for, and what you need to do when you find the problem.

Anyone doing the gutter installation and repair is smart to keep in mind that before any task is performed; all necessary tools and equipment must already be prepared.

Professional gutter specialists in Wednesfield would have all these tools at hand but DIY plumbers can buy the essential tools from hardware and home improvement stores.

When the rains come heavy in autumn and winter, it's always good to know that the water is being carried away in the manner it was designed to and not leaking from your gutters and downpipes in a way that is undermining your basement, collecting along the foundation of your house, building up hydrostatic pressure and just waiting to seep into the house with all the severe damp problems that will eventually cause. There's no fun in living in a damp home with mould, after all.

Common Gutter Problems in Wednesfield

Cleaning your home's gutters in Wednesfield is often a routine job which should be completed each spring and autumn to ensure the structural integrity of the property is fully maintained. If not cleaned as required, the gutter isn't able to work as intended. Once a gutter is clogged up with leaves or similar debris, damage might well be caused to the actual roof and fascia (area behind the guttering) as well as a home's foundation (crawl space or basement) if water is allowed to pour over the side of the gutter and down one of the wall. Cleaning the guttering and downpipes is quite a simple process without a need for any special tools, although if damage is found with home's gutters, you might come across one of these common problems:

Standing Water - a guttering system that is pulled away from the house might sag which could cause water to build up and not drain as desired. Guttering systems need to be angled or pitched in the direction of the downpipe for optimum drainage potential. If is often suggested that a straight gutter running at a length of 8-ft or so is made to angle at a half-inch and the side that pitches is at least a half-inch above the height of the side with the downpipe. Re-attaching any loose sections of the guttering should help with eliminating this type of problem.

Blockage - a blockage or clog in the gutter system is quite common and results from the build-up of leaves, twigs, or similar debris. A blockage in the drainage system is more noticeable after heavy rain or harsh weather, and seems to appear at the mouth or the elbow of the downspout. Every area is quite easy to reach and can most often be cleaned by lifting the joints apart and clearing out the debris. A simple solution to avoid possible blockages is by installing gutter protectors to keep out debris.

Holes - a hole might appear in a particular section of the guttering system due to a build up of debris. Common causes of damage to a home's gutter is due to debris falling from trees which get caught up and don't clear by themselves. A simple technique to repair holes includes the use of specific roofing cement. If a hole in the gutter isn't repaired in the short-term it has the potential to grow a lot larger, which is likely to result in significant damage. Roof cement appears like a caulk and easily fixes a hole of this type.
