Gutters

Gutters channel rainwater and melting snow away from your roofline, walls, and foundation. In a city like Chicago, where heavy rain, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles are part of every season, well-functioning gutters help prevent water from pooling at the roof edge, seeping behind flashing, or pushing against masonry walls. Sagging, clogged, or poorly sealed gutters are a common reason homeowners and building owners look for a closer inspection.

Spotting Gutter-Related Issues

Water problems around gutters often start above the roofline, so we look at the whole system together.

Infrared Roof Moisture Scanning — helps locate hidden moisture near roof edges before it spreads into decking or walls.
Drone Roof Inspections — gives a clear view of gutter lines, downspouts, and roof edges without unnecessary foot traffic.
Moisture Meters — used to pinpoint where water is entering when a leak is traced back to a gutter or flashing issue.
Sheet Metal Flashing Fabrication — custom flashing seals the connection between gutters, roof edges, valleys, and chimneys.
