Gutter Installation and CleaningGutter Installation and Cleaning

Gutter repair safeguards your home and property by directing rain water away from foundations, siding, and landscaping. However, if your gutters become blocked with leaves and debris, water may pool around the house, creating potential for structural damage and mold. In these cases, it’s best to call in a professional for gutter cleaning services instead of trying to clean your own gutter system yourself. Ensz & Sons of Huntsville provides professional gutter installation and cleaning services that prevent clogs and water damage, safeguarding your home.

If you choose to do the work yourself, the following tools are recommended for gutter installation:

Ladder

Even on a one-story home, you’ll need a sturdy ladder to access the roofline and install gutter components. You should also use a safety harness or lanyard to avoid falling from the roof. A caulking gun and gutter sealant are also essential for this project. Make sure the caulk is silicone-based to withstand water and weather exposure. A chalk line and a level are also handy for marking the desired gutter run angle and placement, respectively. Downspout elbows and extensions can be added to the gutters for increased length and diverted water flow. To secure downspouts and extensions, a hex head sheet metal screw or pop rivet works well.
