A good gutter system has two jobs: move roof water away from the home and keep debris from stopping that water. That is why 6-inch seamless gutters and gutter guards often work well together.
6-inch gutters provide capacity
New 6-inch gutters give the roofline more room to handle heavy rain, roof valleys, and long runs. That extra capacity is especially valuable in Summerville storms.
Gutter guards reduce debris
Guards help keep leaves, pine needles, roof grit, and storm debris from filling the trough and blocking downspouts.
Downspouts complete the system
Even with the right gutter and guard, water needs a safe exit. Downspouts should be placed where they can move water away from the home, not just to the nearest corner.
Existing gutter protection
Gutter guards can also be installed on properly functioning 5-inch and larger existing gutters. For new gutter installations, Summerville Gutter installs 6-inch gutters and larger only.
