Protecting a First-Time Homeowner in Pleasant Grove
Challenge
Challenge: Structural Damage & Poor Water Drainage
Kelsie, a first-time homeowner in Pleasant Grove, faced two major issues that put her home at risk:
- Falling Fascia & Soffit: Sections of her fascia and soffit were deteriorating and falling out, creating openings for critters to climb into her attic and potentially cause damage.
- Improper Downspouts & Water Pooling: Her downspouts were placed incorrectly and insufficient in number, leading to water damage, pooling near her foundation, and icy hazards during the winter.
Solution
Solution: Strengthening & Redirecting for Long-Term Protection
Our team at Emerald Gotcha Gutters provided a comprehensive solution to protect Kelsie’s home and ensure long-term stability:
- Installed new fascia and soffit materials to seal off attic access, keeping critters out.
- Repositioned and added downspouts in the correct locations to eliminate pooling and direct water safely away from the foundation.
- Prevented future water damage by ensuring proper drainage, reducing the risk of foundation issues and slippery surfaces in winter.
Results: A Safer, More Secure Home
Now, Kelsie’s home is in a far better position to withstand the elements. With reinforced soffits and fascia, she no longer has to worry about critters invading her attic. Her updated drainage system keeps water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of damage and preventing hazardous ice buildup. As a first-time homeowner, she now has peace of mind knowing her home is well-protected for years to come.
