Gutter work involves the installation, repair, or maintenance of a gutter system on a building. Gutters are channels or troughs that are attached to the edge of a roof and used to collect and divert rainwater away from the building. Gutters are an important part of a building’s drainage system, as they help to prevent water infiltration and damage to the building’s foundation, walls, and roof. To install gutters, the surface of the roof must be prepared and the gutter hangers or brackets are attached to the roof. The gutter sections are then cut to size and attached to the hangers using screws, nails, or adhesive. The gutter sections are joined together using gutter end caps, gutter miter joints, or gutter sealant. Once the gutters are in place, they are finished with downspouts, which are vertical pipes that carry the water from the gutters to the ground. Gutters should be inspected regularly and any necessary repairs or maintenance should be performed as needed to ensure the gutters remain in good condition.
