Calling all business owners and commercial building managers! When was the last time your building had a thorough gutter inspection? Commercial gutters and residential gutters are very different. The size of the roof has a huge impact on what style of gutters the building needs to properly route water runoff. Sam Boak explains If your building hasn’t had a gutter update in a while, read these four tips on why you should schedule a free estimate to have them replaced:
- Larger gutters can handle more water.
If you have a large commercial roof, your gutters need to be able to handle more water runoff than an average residential gutter system. Flat roofs especially need larger gutters to keep water from pooling on the roof and creating vulnerable spots that could be prone to leaks. By installing a larger gutter system, you can help alleviate some of that stress from excess water.
- Smaller gutters that are not strong enough to handle large amounts of water could fall and cause even more damage.
If your gutter system is too small, too much water could weaken the structure and cause the gutters to fall. This could cause further damage to the roof by pulling the roofing materials down with it and could also damage siding and windows as it falls. Our commercial gutters are not only measured and fabricated on site but are also securely fastened with the capability to withstand higher levels of water runoff.
- The right gutters can provide a safe environment for you, your employees and your customers.
Having the wrong gutter system on your commercial building can be dangerous for anyone who visits the facility. Sam Boak says “safety is our number one rule, so we take this note seriously!” Leaking, damaged or vulnerable gutters can cause multiple problems that might be dangerous. Commercial gutters can help prevent that damage!
While both residential and commercial gutters have similar functions, the right system on your roof can make all the difference. If you’re not sure what your building requires, give us a call and we’ll provide a free estimate! Call us at 330-793-5646 or schedule on our website.
