Keep Water Away from Your Foundation
Seamless gutter installation and repair in New Jersey.
You watch rainwater spill over the edge of your gutters or pool along the foundation of your Edison and surrounding homes, and you notice staining on the siding or cracks forming in the basement walls. These issues develop when gutters are clogged, sagging, or missing sections, allowing uncontrolled runoff to saturate the soil around your foundation.
Pmc Exteriors LLC installs seamless gutters designed for proper water management and integration with your roofing and fascia. The system is sized to handle heavy rainfall and sloped to move water toward downspouts without pooling or overflowing. If your current gutters are leaking or pulling away from the house, repairs are performed to restore function and prevent further damage to your exterior.
If you need new gutters or want to repair a system that is not draining correctly in Edison and surrounding areas, reach out to discuss your situation.
Custom Fabrication and Downspout Routing for Your Property
Installation begins with measuring your roofline and fabricating seamless sections on-site to eliminate joints where leaks typically form. In Edison and surrounding areas, where downpours can overwhelm undersized gutters, the width and depth of the channel are selected based on roof area and pitch to ensure adequate flow.
After your gutters are installed, you will see water flowing smoothly into downspouts during rain, no overflow at the corners, and dry soil along your foundation instead of puddles. The fascia remains protected from rot, and water is directed away from entry points where it could seep into your basement or crawl space.
Hangers are spaced at intervals that prevent sagging, and each downspout is routed to discharge at least six feet from the foundation or into an underground drain if your property requires it. End caps and miters are sealed with commercial-grade caulk, and all fasteners are driven into rafter tails or solid blocking rather than fascia alone.
Common concerns before scheduling gutter work
Homeowners in Edison and surrounding areas often ask how gutters prevent foundation problems, what causes sagging, and whether guards are worth installing. These are the most frequent questions we answer.
How do gutters protect my foundation?
Gutters collect roof runoff and channel it away from the base of your home, preventing soil saturation that causes settling, cracking, and water intrusion. Without gutters, concentrated runoff erodes the ground and puts pressure on foundation walls.
Why are my gutters sagging in the middle?
Sagging occurs when hangers are spaced too far apart, fasteners have pulled out of rotted fascia, or debris has added weight to the channel. Reinstalling with closer hanger spacing and repairing the fascia eliminates the problem.
What causes gutters to overflow during heavy rain?
Overflow happens when the gutter is too small for the roof area, the slope is incorrect, or downspouts are clogged. Replacing undersized gutters with a larger profile and ensuring proper pitch restores drainage capacity.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Most gutters need cleaning twice a year, in spring and fall, to remove leaves, shingle grit, and other debris. If trees overhang your roof in Edison and surrounding areas, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent clogs and overflow.
When should I replace my gutters instead of repairing them?
If sections are rusted through, seams are separating in multiple places, or the fascia has rotted from prolonged leaks, replacement provides a longer-lasting solution than patching individual problem areas.
