Gutter Installation in South Lake Tahoe, California

The winter snow and the spring melt test every gutter in the mountains. The gutters need to carry the water away from the foundation. Gutter installation in South Lake Tahoe moves the water away from the house and protects the foundation.

Signs Your South Lake Tahoe Home Needs New Gutters

• The gutters are leaking at the seams — the old sectional gutters have failed
• The gutters are sagging or pulling away — the hangers are rusted or the gutters are full
• The water is pooling around the foundation — the downspouts are not carrying the water far enough
• The fascia boards are rotting — the water is spilling over the back of the gutter
• The gutters are rusting through — the old galvanized steel has reached the end

Why South Lake Tahoe Homes Need Gutters

The spring melt brings the water off the snow-covered roof, and the water soaks the ground around the foundation. Without gutters, the water pools against the foundation and the soil erodes.

The pine needles add the second factor. The needles fill the gutters and the downspouts clog.

How We Install Gutters in South Lake Tahoe

1. Measure the roofline — the linear footage, the downspout locations, and the slope
2. Form the seamless gutters — the aluminum coil is formed on site to the exact length
3. Install the hangers — the hidden hangers attach the gutter to the fascia
4. Install the downspouts — the downspouts carry the water to the ground
5. Test the system — the water runs through the full length and drains at the downspouts

Preventing Roof Problems in South Lake Tahoe

• Clean the gutters each fall — the pine needles fill the gutters

• Check the hangers each spring — the snow and the melt can pull the gutters loose
• Check the snow guards — the snow guards control the sliding snow

Expert tip: in South Lake Tahoe, the seamless aluminum gutter is the standard. The sectional gutters leak at the seams, and the spring melt finds every gap. The seamless gutter has no joints in the run.
