Fix the gutter first. Then protect it.
Innisfil runs up the west shore of Lake Simcoe between Bradford and Barrie, and takes in Alcona, Stroud, Lefroy and Cookstown. It is one of the two Simcoe County municipalities on our map and the last one before Barrie.
Lakeshore houses here sit under mature trees and take weather off open water, which is a harder combination than it sounds. Wind-driven rain arrives at a gutter from the side rather than off the roof, and a run that has lost its pitch or opened at a seam shows it quickly in those conditions.
Five steps on every Innisfil job.
Four of the five happen before any mesh goes on. That order is the whole difference between gutter protection and a guard laid over a gutter that was already failing.
- Step 01
Clean
Everything comes out by hand, then the run is flushed until the downspout comes out clear.
- Step 02
Reseal
Every corner, end cap, seam and downspout collar is sealed. This is where an old gutter actually leaks.
- Step 03
Realign
Sagging sections come back to line and the whole run is set to a quarter inch of fall per ten feet.
- Step 04
Reinforce
New heavy duty hangers go in wherever the old ones pulled loose, before any weight goes on top.
- Step 05
Protect
Stainless steel micro-mesh goes on last, cut to your gutter profile and fastened down.
Stainless steel micro-mesh on an aluminum frame
A rigid aluminum frame for structural strength and long-term corrosion resistance, and a precision stainless steel micro-mesh that filters fine debris without giving up water flow. Rain goes through. Leaves, needles, maple keys and shingle grit stay on top and blow off dry.
- Aluminum frameRigid, extruded, holds its line
- Corrosion resistantWill not rust or degrade
- Micro-mesh filtrationFine debris stays on top
- Full water flowNothing given up to filter it
Why the preparation matters here.
A guard fitted to a failing gutter fails with it. That is true on every street in the GTA, and it is the reason the mesh is the fifth thing we do rather than the first.
Innisfil
Water coming off the lake does not care what is fitted on top of a gutter if the gutter underneath is not sealed and sitting at the right fall. That is why resealing and realignment are steps two and three rather than extras on a quote.
