Water That Does Not Drain Finds Your Foundation

Gutter installation, repair, and replacement services for homes and businesses in Salt Lake City

Snowmelt and seasonal rain in Salt Lake City produce runoff that overwhelms damaged gutters, sending water over the edges and down exterior walls where it pools against your foundation. Gutter and drainage services manage roof runoff effectively, preventing foundation issues, siding damage, and ice buildup that forms when water cannot flow away from your home. Kimball roofing & siding installs, repairs, and replaces gutters designed for heavy snowmelt and the rain patterns that arrive with spring storms in northern Utah.

The work includes drainage solutions customized to your roof size, pitch, and the slope of your property. You receive gutters that move water away from vulnerable areas and downspouts that discharge far enough from the foundation to prevent soil erosion and basement seepage. Both residential and commercial properties benefit from properly functioning gutters that protect the structure below and reduce maintenance costs over time.

If your gutters overflow, sag, or leak at the seams, schedule gutter service with Kimball roofing & siding before seasonal weather shifts arrive and the problem worsens.

How Gutters Stop Water From Damaging Your Property

Gutter installation in Salt Lake City involves measuring roof area and pitch, determining downspout placement based on property drainage, and securing seamless or sectional gutters with hidden hangers that support the weight of water and ice. Crews pitch the gutters toward downspouts so water flows without pooling, and they install gutter guards when requested to reduce debris buildup. You see the difference when runoff stays in the gutters instead of cascading over the edges and staining your siding.

After installation or repair, water flows smoothly from the roof to the downspouts and away from your foundation. You no longer see puddles forming along the base of your home after rainstorms, and the soil near your foundation stays stable instead of eroding into low spots. Ice dams along the roofline diminish because water drains before it refreezes, and your basement stays dry during spring snowmelt.

Repairs address sagging sections, separated seams, and damaged downspouts that allow water to escape before reaching the discharge point. Replacement projects remove old, corroded gutters and install new systems that match your roofline and handle the volume of runoff your roof produces. The service does not include grading or landscaping work, but it ensures that water leaves your roof in a controlled manner and does not undermine the structure below.

Questions property owners ask about gutters and drainage

Gutters seem simple until they fail, and most people do not think about them until water starts damaging the siding or pooling near the foundation. These questions address what homeowners and property managers need to know before scheduling gutter work.

How do I know if my gutters need repair or replacement?
Sagging sections, rust holes, and separated seams usually require replacement. If the gutters are structurally sound but leaking at joints or missing hangers, repairs often solve the problem.
What causes gutters to overflow during storms?
Debris buildup blocks water flow, and undersized gutters cannot handle the volume of runoff from large or steeply pitched roofs. Overflowing water spills over the edges and damages siding and foundation areas.
Why do downspouts matter for drainage?
Downspouts move water from the gutters to the ground, and their placement determines where the runoff goes. Properly positioned downspouts discharge water far enough from the foundation to prevent pooling and soil erosion.
How often should I clean my gutters?
You should clean gutters at least twice a year, typically in spring and fall. Homes surrounded by trees may need more frequent cleaning to prevent clogs and overflow.
When is the best time to install or replace gutters?
Spring and fall offer mild weather and allow crews to work safely without extreme heat or snow. Installing gutters before winter ensures your system is ready for heavy snowmelt in early spring.
