FAQs
How can I tell if my gutters were damaged by the recent storm in Calhoun?
Look for obvious signs such as detached or sagging sections, cracks, holes, missing fasteners, and water stains on your fascia or siding. After heavy winds or hail, also inspect for dents, bent hangers, and granules or shingle debris clogging the troughs. If you notice overflow during the next rain, that is a strong indicator of hidden damage. A professional inspection will confirm the extent of the problem and uncover less visible issues like pitch misalignment or seam separation.
What should I do immediately after discovering storm damage to my gutters?
Prioritize safety first—avoid standing on slick surfaces or climbing unstable ladders. Document the damage with clear photos and notes for insurance purposes. Remove loose debris if it can be done safely to prevent further clogging. Then call a licensed gutter specialist local to Calhoun for a storm-damage assessment. Fast action can stop water from backing up under shingles or eroding your foundation, both of which become much costlier if ignored.
Do I have to replace the entire gutter system, or can sections be repaired?
In many cases, only the affected runs, downspouts, or hangers need replacement. Spot repairs—like resealing seams, refastening hangers, or swapping out dented segments—can restore performance if the overall system is structurally sound. However, if the storm bent the troughs out of proper pitch, caused widespread seam failures, or damaged the protective coating, a full replacement is the most reliable long-term solution. A professional inspection will outline the most cost-effective choice.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related gutter replacement in Calhoun?
Most standard homeowner policies treat gutters as part of the dwelling, so wind, hail, or fallen-tree damage is typically covered after your deductible. Coverage can vary, so check your policy’s “Other Structures” or “Dwelling” section and report the loss promptly—usually within 30 days. Provide the insurer with the photos and the written estimate from your gutter contractor. Our team can assist with documentation and meet your adjuster on site to ensure all damages are accounted for.
How long does it take to replace gutters damaged by a storm?
A straightforward single-story home in Calhoun usually takes 4–6 hours for full gutter replacement. Two-story homes, complex rooflines, or added features such as leaf guards can extend the project to one full day. Scheduling may also depend on material availability and weather conditions. We aim to start most storm-damage projects within 48 hours of approval to minimize any ongoing water intrusion.
