Defining The Problem

A homeowner in Barrington, Illinois, faced significant challenges with their home’s gutter system. During heavy rains, the standard 5-inch gutters were unable to manage the water from both the upper and lower roofs, leading to severe overflow visible from the kitchen windows. This not only caused discomfort but also resulted in substantial property damage.

Our Proposed Solutions

Upon thorough discussion and assessment of the situation with the homeowner, including a detailed video explanation of the issues, Holda Construction proposed a comprehensive upgrade.

The solution included replacing the inadequate 5-inch gutters with 6-inch oversized gutters better suited to the home’s existing 8-inch fascia and installing an additional downspout to enhance water management.

What Could Happen if This Problem is Not Addressed

The persistent overflow could have led to more severe consequences if left unresolved. Continuous water spillage posed an immediate threat of water damage to the home’s foundation and exterior walls. Over time, this could undermine the structural integrity of the house and potentially lead to costly repairs.

How Holda Solved the Problem

With the homeowner’s agreement on the proposed solutions and clear understanding of the benefits, Holda Construction promptly initiated the gutter replacement. The new 6-inch oversized gutters and additional downspout were installed, and adjustments were made to the gutter pitch to improve water flow and prevent pooling. These upgrades were executed swiftly and efficiently, ensuring compatibility with the house’s aesthetics and functional requirements.
