The gutter, its function and the importance of checking it before winter

Gutter-rainwater pipe or in professional language, the Gutter. This pipe is used to drain roofs and balconies along the length of the building. As a result, the gutter is usually located on the exterior walls of the building and in the corners of the building.
Usually, due to the use of the gutter, it is not always possible to notice a failure that caused water leaks, only during use can water leaks be seen. Usually, the location of the rainwater gutter is problematic. One of the problems is the cladding of building stone. During the cladding of the stone, the stone is anchored with screws, these screws penetrate the Gutter and cause very great damage!!! Due to the fact that the stone cladding is for the entire length of the pipe, sometimes in a photo of the interior of the pipe, you can see dozens of screws that have penetrated the pipe. Another factor is the installation of windows in the apartment. During the installation of windows, they are anchored to the wall with long screws that also cause damage to the gutters.
Additional causes of leaks in the rain during construction At the moment of pouring the concrete in the foundation columns due to lack or improper construction and other factors in filling the concrete, damage was caused to the rainwater pipe. The pipe was crushed by the weight and the reaction of the heating of the concrete and very heavy damage was caused to the pipe. In addition to these damages, a rainwater pipe requires regular maintenance because most of its use is in the winter. We neglect the rainwater pipe drains while we are covering the roof or balcony drainage, so there is no water passing to the gutter pipe. More than once we have encountered another factor. Usually, most of the building's sewage and drainage pipes end on the roof of the building. Sewer and drainage receivers. This place is usually used for taking pictures of pipes, repairing pipes without destruction, and more than once we have encountered dead birds because of these openings in the roof. Usually, rainwater pipes are not connected to the sewage system, there should be no unpleasant odors from this pipe. More than once we have come following complaints about a bad smell on the balconies. One of the reasons there are no dead animals and lack of breath on the roof.
The problem becomes more serious during blockages in rainwater pipes, drainage receivers on roads, during the rains if regular maintenance is not carried out then floods and dangerous damage begin that also include human lives.
If you have leaks in the exterior walls of several apartments on the same side, then you probably have a damaged gutter.
How to identify damage to the gutter.
You can find failures in the pipeline using pipe interior photography – an advanced fiber optic camera that scans the pipe 360 ​​degrees.
Additional inspection by a balloon that is inserted into the pipe interior that inflates to the diameter of the pipe and thereby creates a controlled blockage to identify the failures.
It is recommended to perform maintenance and cleaning of gutters before the start of winter to prevent damage by washing with high pressure and releasing blockages.
If you suspect leaks that are mainly caused in winter. You are welcome to call and we will send you an expert to examine this issue 9549450264
