Why Knoxville Rain Tests Your Gutters
Knoxville averages a little over 50 inches of rain each year. One inch of rain can dump up to 623 gallons on a 1,000 square foot roof. If your system cannot keep up, water spills at the eaves and saturates the ground beside the home.
How New Gutters Help Protect Your Foundation
When soil stays wet next to a foundation, moisture pressure goes up. Water can wick through concrete or block and contribute to mold and rot problems.
Roof drainage should discharge at least 5 feet from the foundation. We plan gutter installation Knoxville homeowners can rely on by looking at where water exits and where it ends up. Downspout extensions, splash blocks, and solid underground drains can help, as long as water keeps moving away from the home.
If you are considering gutter replacement Knoxville, TN, this is the main payoff. You are redirecting a lot of water away from the foundation zone.
How Gutters Protect Landscaping And Hardscaping
Overflow acts like a pressure washer on your yard. It cuts channels, moves mulch, and splashes dirt onto brick and siding. It can also push water under the edges of walkways and patios.
A good plan pairs seamless gutters and downspouts with a controlled discharge. Here are a few details we often build into the setup:
- Downspouts that discharge out into the yard, not into beds.
- Splash blocks or drain tie-ins at discharge points.
- Placement that avoids dumping water onto walkways.
Once water has a planned path, your landscaping stays in place longer.
What We Install For Better Water Control
We install seamless gutters Knoxville, TN homeowners like because they have fewer leak points than sectional systems. For many homes, 6 inch seamless gutters make sense because they hold more water and reduce overflow during heavy rain. We also watch the basics that affect performance, like steady slope and enough downspouts along the run.
