We can add extensions to your existing gutter system.
Gutter extensions are a type of attachment that you add to the end of a home’s gutter downspouts to carry rainwater farther away from the foundation. The main purpose of gutter extensions is to keep water from pooling near the base of the house, preventing problems like basement leaks, foundation cracks, soil erosion, and damage to landscaping.
When it rains, your gutters collect rainwater from the roof and then funnel it down through the downspouts. Without an extension, that water often drains right next to the house. Gutter extensions redirect the flow several feet away, so the water can safely dispense into the yard or a specific drainage area.
At Storm Group Roofing and Gutters, we offer several types of gutter extensions to homeowners here in the Powell, Tennessee area. For example, we offer rigid extensions that are usually made of plastic or metal and hold a fixed shape. We also offer flip-up and roll-out extensions, which automatically extend when water flows and then roll back up when dry. These extensions can help you keep your walkways clear when it isn’t raining.
Ultimately, gutter extensions are a cost-effective and important part of any home’s drainage system. They help reduce erosion, minimize water damage, and protect your foundation, especially if you have a sloped yard or live in an area with heavy rainfall.
