Gutters & Downspouts in Lansing, MI
Gutters carry rain and snowmelt away from the roof edge and foundation. In Lansing they also take a beating from ice, leaves and heavy summer downpours.
Request a rooferSagging and leaking
Loose hangers, separated seams and gutters pulled down by ice need fixing before the next storm. Water spilling over the edge soaks fascia and foundations.
Leaves and seeds
Maples, oaks and pines drop leaves, seeds and needles that clog gutters, especially in fall. Clean them before winter.
Ice in gutters
Gutters packed with ice add weight and back meltwater up under shingles. Clean gutters and good attic insulation help.
Downspouts
Downspouts should carry water several feet from the house. Extensions or underground drains keep basements drier.
Gutter guards
Guards reduce cleaning but still need occasional checks. Some types shed snow better than others.
Sizing
Larger gutters and downspouts handle heavy rain better, especially on big or steep roofs.

Fascia and soffits
Rotten fascia behind gutters lets them pull away. Replace damaged boards when fixing gutters.
Splash blocks
A simple splash block or extension at each downspout keeps water from pooling against the foundation and basement walls.
Seamless gutters
Seamless gutters are formed on site to fit the house and have fewer joints to leak. Ask about them when replacing old sectional gutters.
