- 6Why is rainwater missing my gutters?Gutters installed too high against the roof edge push shingles upward and cause rainwater to overshoot the trough entirely, pooling on the ground below. Fixing the issue requires lowering and repitching the gutter run so it sits flush beneath the roofline rather than pressing against the shingles.
- 4How to fill a wide gap between garage floor and drivewayStandard tube caulk is too narrow for gaps several inches wide, leaving spaces that fill with debris, grow weeds, and risk water erosion at the base. Finding a durable, cost-effective way to cap or fill this space is necessary to prevent structural damage without resorting to methods that quickly fail.
- 3How to stop roof runoff from missing the gutter and hitting the deckWater streaming off the corner of a gabled roof often misses the gutter entirely and trickles down onto a lower deck or patio. Over time, this runoff causes leakage and water damage around the building corners.
