The biggest differences between the three styles we offer are style and capacity for water catchment. Imagine comparing a birdbath to a bucket: one may be significantly more appealing, but at the end of the day the bucket is going to catch the most water. Likewise, a 6" half-round gutter has a different style and therefore a different water capacity than a 6" box gutter, due to the difference in depth. Higher Ground Rainwater Systems of Asheville is always willing and able to offer expert advice on the appropriate gutter style for application, to prevent overflow during a heavy rain.

Your gutters are one of the most critical components of your home. They are designed to protect your home from flooding, roof damage, landscape erosion, foundation damage, mold, a heaving driveway, and more. At Higher Ground Rainwater Systems of Asheville we offer three types of gutters, as well as copper and decorative work, so that we can protect your home from rainwater damage while preserving your personal style. At Higher Ground Rainwater Systems of Asheville, we guarantee professionally-installed, seamless gutters that are pressed on-site at your home to ensure quality and eliminate leakage from seams.

It is imperative to see to any standing water issues. Pools of water are not only eye sores, but they also can kill your grass and landscaping, be the source of mud tracked into your home and they attract mosquitoes and other pests into your yard. Left untreated, standing water will damage the foundation of your house and turn into a costly affair. The majority of lawn drainage issues can be traced back to corrugated pipes. Corrugated pipes are the black, ridged, flexible pipes that a lot of construction companies use because they are cheap.

Rainwater is one of the most important things to consider when trying to address issues as a homeowner. Water hits the highest point of a home, and if you don't ensure your gutters are clear and attached properly, everything below them is at risk of water damage. If gutters back up with water, homeowners can expect to pay for costly wood damage repair or replacement, including areas such as fascia, soffit, siding and decks. Water also damages the foundation and landscaping. If this is not addressed properly many structural problems can occur, which are extremely expensive and time-consuming to fix.

Although gutter cleaning may seem like a DIY task, it can be a dangerous, time consuming and dirty job. Our team of experts are well trained and fully insured to be on your roof. With each gutter cleaning, we professionally remove all debris from your gutters and downspouts and include a full gutter inspection. This gutter inspection will help us diagnose and repair potential rainwater-related issues, and we can give you on-site advice to help keep rainwater from damaging your home in the future.

Not every issue with your gutter system is related to debris clogs. There are many other reasons you may see water intrusion in your home coming from the gutters. Water can find the smallest holes and lowest points, and they can leak without maintenance. Some of the common issues we find include damage from objects like tree limbs hitting the gutter, which can cause broken brackets or dents, causing the water to move away from the downspout and sit in a low spot in the gutter causing a mispitch.

Gutter guards help prevent the buildup of debris in gutters, which in turn helps to protect the drainage and foundation of your home. While there is a common misconception that gutter guards are maintenance-free, alleviating the need for gutter cleanings, some debris will still pile up on top of the guards and need to be removed. With regular cleanings, however, you can expect that guards will help water flow down your downspouts and out the drain lines, even in very heavy rainfall. If you choose not to purchase guards and a clump of debris gets caught in your downspouts, you can expect that all rainwater will roll over your gutter, possibly damaging your foundation and parts of your roof.
