Built-in gutters, also referred to as “box gutters” are considered a concealed roof drainage system. They can be considered the cornerstone of our gutter installation Cincinnati and gutter repair seamless gutter services. Since they are not readily visible, they typically become neglected and this leads to gutter leaks into the home. The simplest form of maintenance after installation is keeping them clear of debris and to ensure the painted surface, if they are galvanized steel, is kept up to date. It does not have to be everyday, but proper maintenance is necessary for any gutter system to perform its duty, but with built-ins, trapped, standing water can lead to a shorter life and very costly repairs.
A majority of built-in gutters are lined with formed meta with their installation. The earliest metal used for the lining is terne-plate.

The expansion and contraction of the metal during temperature changes results in failure at the weakest point, the seams.

Another common temporary fix is to line box gutters with a flat roof membrane called EPDM. We never suggest this gutter service as a permanent method of box gutter repair.
Restoration of your home’s box gutters should always be done by a skilled craftsman with prior experience in gutter repair and gutter system installation.

Once the support frame is solid, then the sheet metal, copper, or galvanized steel lining is able to be installed with rivets and solder. Upon completion of the work, it is always suggested to stand by a strict box gutter maintenance schedule that will ensure the maximum life is gained from your new investment.
