11:01 - Some gutter companies insist the “correct” way to install gutters is all the way up behind the drip edge and as close to the tiles as possible. They say this will help the system catch as much water as possible versus having the gutters sitting lower in which case houses with high barrel tiles probably need bigger gutters to catch the water overshooting during heavy downpours. Gutters installed this way are secured through the drip metal. When I ask if they could secure them just below without compromising the drip metal, they tell me: 1) a 6” won’t be able to catch all the water from high barrel tiles if it is sitting lower (I would need a 7”) and 2) if you start installing the gutter just below the drip edge, by the time you get to the downspout (with some inclination), the fascia will be exposed.
How do you see this? How do you install gutters that sit lower to avoid going through the drip edge and without exposing the fascia closer to the downspout? Thank you Tim for your very thorough videos!
These are good things to bring up. First off, as a roofer, putting holes in the drip edge (which is part of the roofing system) is a terrible idea and leads to a fascia issues, plus requires the gutters to be removed when the roof needs replaced.
Second, a 6" gutter pretty much catches anything on a 5/12 sloped roof or lower. For a 6 or 7/12 slope, it's still better practice to upgrade to a 7" gutter than to install through the drip.
I have a 6/12 slope arch shingle roof and 6" gutters catch everything. Put splash guards in the valleys.
Lastly, I have 40 and 50 foot runs of gutter all the time and don't have the issue of exposed fascia, if you know how to tuck the gutter in under the fascia, it's not an issue... the installer needs to use hangers and brackets that are shaped like a "U" rather than spikes.
how do you feel about leaf guards ?
I recommend them if you have a lot of trees over your home, it will save you the labor of having to go clean the gutters out every month or so.
Is it common to connect the downspouts to the city surface water drainage system?
No, but I've seen people drain into the street before via underground plumbing or a french drain
good video, is the 1x2 supposed to be between the drip metal and fascia ?
Yes, this helps keep the water from running down the fascia and rotting it out.
@@perkinsroofingcorp Thanks, the back side of my house was missing them and now the fascia is all rotted !
@@DaveG-qd6ug It's pretty common down here on homes with roofs prior to Andrew (1991). Code requires adding them here in South Florida if they don't exist.
Are the rain dispersement gutter replacements any good?
What is this specifically? Sorry, never heard that terminology. Gutters are good for the home though, yes.
