Welcome to Ernie’s Gutter, your friendly neighborhood experts in all things gutter-related! With over four decades of experience serving the Denver community, we’ve seen it all when it comes to gutter problems. Today, we’re diving into a common issue that plagues many homeowners: roof leaks behind gutters into the soffit. If you’ve noticed water damage around your soffit or fascia, you’re in the right place. We’ll explore the causes of these leaks and provide valuable tips on how to prevent them.
Understanding the Problem:
Imagine this: you’ve recently had your gutters replaced, hoping to solve your water drainage issues. But instead, you start noticing water dripping back into the soffit and fascia areas, causing unsightly damage. What went wrong? Well, it could be a case of improper gutter installation. As we’ve seen in our years of experience, raising the gutter too high can lead to water pooling behind the fascia board. This not only damages the wood covering but also creates a breeding ground for mold and rot.
Solutions and Prevention:
So, what can you do to prevent roof leaks behind your gutter into the soffit? First and foremost, invest in seamless gutters installed by experienced professionals like Ernie’s Gutter. Seamless gutters offer a tight fit, minimizing the risk of water seepage. Additionally, ensure proper placement of downspouts to channel water away from your home’s foundation. Don’t forget about spring gutter cleaning to remove debris and prevent clogs that can exacerbate the problem. And if you’re considering gutter replacement, trust Ernie’s Gutter for a job done right the first time.
