FAQs
What are the main reasons a crawlspace in Greenback floods, and how can new gutters solve the problem?
In Greenback’s humid climate, heavy rainfall, clogged or undersized gutters, and downspouts that discharge too close to the foundation are the leading causes of crawlspace flooding. When gutters overflow or leak, water pools against the home’s footing and seeps through foundation vents or cracks, saturating the crawlspace. By installing correctly sized seamless gutters with properly sloped downspouts that direct runoff at least 6–10 ft away, we divert water safely away from the foundation, eliminating the hydrostatic pressure and moisture that cause crawlspace flooding.
How can I tell if my existing gutters are contributing to moisture in my crawlspace?
Look for these signs: 1) Water stains or mold on the crawlspace walls or piers. 2) Standing water or a musty odor beneath the house after rain. 3) Eroded soil or washed‐out mulch around the foundation perimeter. 4) Sagging, rusted, or overflowing gutters during a downpour. If any of these are present, your gutters likely aren’t channeling water far enough away, and replacement or repair is recommended.
What gutter materials and styles do you offer, and which are best for preventing future crawlspace issues?
We install aluminum, steel, and copper seamless K-style and half-round gutters. For most Greenback homes, 6-inch seamless aluminum K-style gutters paired with 3"×4" downspouts provide the best balance of capacity, durability, and affordability. We also recommend adding gutter guards to keep leaves out and maintain proper flow year-round. If your roof has a steep pitch or large surface area, we’ll size the gutters accordingly to handle heavier runoff and protect the crawlspace.
Will you inspect my roof and drainage system as part of the gutter replacement?
Yes. Before installing new gutters, our team performs a comprehensive roof edge and drainage inspection. We check shingle overhang, drip edge condition, fascia integrity, and soffit ventilation. We also assess grading and downspout discharge paths. If we find roof leaks, fascia rot, or improper slope that could still allow water to enter the crawlspace, we’ll give you repair options so the new gutter system works optimally.
What factors affect the cost of gutter replacement in Greenback?
Price is determined by linear footage, gutter size (5-inch vs. 6-inch), material (aluminum, steel, or copper), the number of downspouts, fascia repairs, and optional upgrades such as gutter guards or rain barrels. On average, Greenback homeowners can expect $8–$14 per linear foot for 5-inch aluminum seamless gutters, including installation. During our free on-site estimate, we’ll measure, discuss options, and provide a detailed written quote with no hidden fees.
How long does gutter replacement take, and what precautions do you take to protect my property?
Most single‐story homes in Greenback take one day to complete, while two-story homes or those needing fascia repairs may take two. We lay protective tarps over landscaping, remove all old materials, and use ladder standoffs to avoid gutter marks on siding. All debris is hauled away the same day, and we perform a final walk-through to ensure the new system is watertight and your crawlspace is safeguarded from future flooding.
