Gutter guards in Mountain View, NC
Gutter help for the suburban and rural neighborhoods south of Hickory.
Mountain View is an unincorporated community just south of Hickory, made up of suburban subdivisions, older homes on larger lots and some rural property. Many houses here were built among existing woods, so gutters catch a steady supply of leaves, needles and seeds.
What gutter issues are common in Mountain View?
Wooded lots mean full gutters, and full gutters mean overflow. On homes with walk-out basements or crawl spaces on sloped lots, overflow on the uphill side can send water toward the foundation. Downspouts that empty onto the uphill side of a house are a frequent source of damp crawl spaces.
Common gutter work in Mountain View
- Micro-mesh guards on homes under pines and hardwoods
- Buried downspout drains that carry water downhill and away
- Larger downspouts on long runs and big roof sections
- Seamless gutter replacement on homes with aging systems
- Cleaning and repair of gutters on two-story and walk-out homes
Tips for sloped lots
- Route downspouts on the uphill side around to a downhill discharge point when possible.
- Make sure the ground right next to the foundation slopes away from the house.
- Use smooth-wall pipe with a cleanout for buried drains.
- Don't discharge water where it will erode a slope or run onto a neighbor's lot.
Two-story and walk-out homes
The downhill side of a walk-out home can put gutters three stories off the ground. That's a reason to hire a company with proper ladders, stabilizers and liability insurance rather than doing the work yourself, and a strong argument for guards that reduce how often anyone has to go up there.
