Whole-roof water planning with gutters, valleys, downspouts, diverters and grading advice to keep rain from harming roof, walls and foundation.
Roof water has to go somewhere, and where it goes matters. Valleys can pour a stream into a single gutter, roof sections can dump onto lower roofs and downspouts can overload the ground. Owners in Nashville with overflowing gutters, stained siding or wet crawl spaces ask us to look at the whole path of water from the shingles to the yard.
We begin with a Free Estimate and watch how water behaves on your roof, ideally in rain. We look at valleys, roof-to-roof drainage, gutter capacity, downspout placement and grading near the house. We recommend solutions such as larger gutters, extra downspouts, diverters, valley protection, splash pans and buried drains, and we coordinate with landscapers or drainage contractors when grading changes are needed. We encourage you to take photos or short videos of problem areas during rain, because they show details that are hard to see afterward. A clip of water pouring over a gutter at a certain corner can tell us exactly where to look. With that information and our own inspection, we can propose a plan that addresses the real cause.
We follow water from the roof surface through gutters and downspouts to the ground.
These concentrate water and are common sources of overflow and erosion.
We use diverters, larger gutters or extra downspouts only where they help.
Where grading is the issue, we coordinate with landscape and drainage specialists.
