The Gutter Shutter System Photo Album: Suwanee, GA Complete Gutter System Replacement | Gutter Shutter HV

Water intrusion behind a brick facade is one of the more challenging diagnostic scenarios a contractor can encounter. The damage is visible inside the home long before the source is obvious from the outside. At this Suwanee, GA residence, Gutter Shutter of Greater Atlanta's crew identified the root cause as water infiltrating behind the gutters at the top floor level, migrating down behind the brick veneer, and presenting as floor damage on both the first floor and in the basement. The inspection flagged the roof-to-gutter interface, specifically the presence and condition of the drip edge, as the critical failure point allowing water to bypass the gutter system and enter the wall cavity. The remediation scope was substantial.   A full Gutter Shutter HV system was installed across 348 feet of the home's perimeter in black, with 22 valley controllers managing directional water flow at roof transitions, 4 wide-mouth outlets handling high-volume discharge points, and 10 black 3x4 downspouts, double the capacity of standard residential downspouts, positioned to move water efficiently and at volume. Two hundred fifty-eight feet of existing guttering was removed and properly disposed of before installation. Third-story safety rigging covered 80 feet of elevated work, and ground spout extensions were installed at 4 feet with custom A and B elbow configurations,  2 of each, ensuring minimum discharge distance from the foundation across all drain points. A drip edge inspection was conducted as part of the overall assessment to confirm the roof-to-gutter seal was restored, and the infiltration pathway closed.   The Gutter Shutter HV system's high-back design prevents water from getting behind the gutter at the fascia, a structural feature that directly addresses the failure mode identified at this property and makes it the right system choice for a home with this profile.
