Sandy Home Protected with 6" & 5" Gutters, Covers, and Rainwater Management Upgrades

Challenge

This Sandy property was dealing with poor water flow, undersized gutters, and drainage challenges that put the foundation and landscaping at risk. Multiple rooflines created heavy water concentration in certain areas, while open gutters left the system vulnerable to clogging from leaves and debris. The home needed a mix of larger capacity gutters, smart downspout placement, and protective covers to keep the system performing year-round.

Solution

We installed a combination of 6" and 5" seamless gutters, tailored to the home’s unique roof layout. Enclosed gutter covers were added to stop clogs and reduce seasonal cleaning. A Y-adapter was installed to split flow efficiently, while a rain barrel connection was integrated for sustainable water use. Buried downspout sections were placed strategically to move water away from the foundation, keeping problem areas dry. Every detail—from angled downspouts to clean white finishes—was designed to blend with the home while enhancing water management.

Transformation:
The home now has a high-capacity gutter system built to handle Utah’s heavy storms and snowmelt. Overflow issues are eliminated, gutters stay clean, and water is redirected safely away from the property. The upgrades not only protect the roofline and foundation but also add long-term value by reducing maintenance and preventing costly repairs.

The Permanent Answer:
While these upgrades solved the immediate issues and gave the home a powerful system, Gutter Shutter remains the ultimate solution. With its lifetime clog-free guarantee and heavy-duty construction, it delivers permanent peace of mind—no cleaning, no clogs, no worries.
