Gutter repair and/or replacement in Columbus, Ohio have become necessary for both commercial roofing systems and residential roofs.  As this brutal season comes to an anticipated close, we are left with a great deal of roof and gutter damage caused by the massive amounts of snow and ice that have accumulated over the winter months.

Why is Gutter Repair Necessary

Gutters and downspout drainage systems have been ripped down due to the additional weight from sheets of snow and roof ice making gutter repair critical.  The freezing and thawing process has caused ice dams to form in many gutters this winter.  This becomes a problem when the water/ice backs up under membrane roofing systems or shingles. This back up can lead to unexpected roof leaks in your commercial building or home. Even if a leak is not evident on the interior of your building, faulty gutter drainage can cause deterioration of the under laminate, soffit, fascia and potentially ruin landscaping.  

When a leak occurs, immediate steps need to be taken to avoid further interior and roofing damage.  Division 7 Roofing provides emergency roof repair or roof replacement and will make the building water-tight to decrease the risk of further damage.  Once the extreme weather is gone, we offer comprehensive gutter repair or replacement to any type of gutter and downspout system.

Preventive Measures instead of Gutter Repair

Ice and snow is a gutter system’s worst enemy.  Installing snow and ice retention systems can lessen roof ice damage.  At Division 7 Roofing, we have found that the S-5 Snow Guard system is the best way to hold roof ice and snow from falling and injurying passers by, or creating other property damage.
