In contrast to traditional models that rely on joints and fasteners to connect various sections, seamless gutters are made of one continuous piece of metal. Next time your channels start to sag or show other signs they need replacement, consider making the upgrade. The following guide looks at the advantages of this switch.

Why Choose Seamless Gutters?

1. Fewer Clogs

It’s common for sectional models to get clogged by twigs, pine needles, and other debris because they stick in between the joints that connect each section. Fewer joints in seamless gutters mean fewer blockages and less work for you in regards to clean-up.

2. Leaks Less

Clogged gutters often cause rainwater to back up and pool on the roof, resulting in water damage to your shingles or the underlayment below. If this continues to occur, it could cause structural damage to your roof or result in mold or mildew growth in your attic.

Alternatively, the heavy rain could cause your gutters, themselves, to leak at the joints. The fasteners holding the sections together might eventually break. Not only would this result in water streaming down the sides of your home, potentially weakening the siding, but it could also cause soil erosion beneath your house, leading to foundation problems.

3. Costs Less

Though they can have a higher upfront cost, seamless gutters often result in fewer repairs. Joints and fasteners tend to be weak points—becoming damaged or rusted so that they require replacement. Furthermore, for the reasons discussed above, seamless varieties tend to be better for your roof, lowering the need for shingle replacement.
