Gutter work covers the troughs, outlets, elbows, and downspouts that move water away from the roof edge. A clogged or loose run is a common reason a homeowner calls.
This page does not claim that gutters prevent every basement or foundation problem.
What a homeowner can ask
- Will the existing runs be cleaned, rehung, or replaced?
- Where will the downspouts discharge?
- Are gutter guards part of the proposal or a separate item?
