Park City, Upgrade Home Gutters for Winter Resilience

Challenge

Challenge: Clogged Gutters, Poor Drainage & Winter Durability

A homeowner in Park City was struggling with an outdated gutter system that had become clogged with leaves, dirt, and debris, leading to water overflow and ineffective drainage. The heat tape in the gutters was also acting as a debris trap, worsening the buildup. Additionally, a crack in the fascia posed a risk of further structural damage if not properly addressed. With harsh winters in Park City, the existing system lacked the support necessary to withstand heavy snow and ice.

Solution

Solution: A Reinforced, Winter-Ready Gutter System

To ensure lasting protection, our team at Emerald Gotcha Gutters implemented a complete gutter overhaul with winter durability in mind:

• Installed New Gutters where none previously existed, improving overall water management.
• Added a Leaf Guard System in a stunning royal brown color to prevent future debris buildup and clogging.
• Upgraded Drainage with a wide-mouth downspout and extended it away from the A/C unit to protect the foundation.
• Strengthened Support by installing wedges and increasing the number of hangers to handle the weight of heavy snow.
• Secured Gutters for Winter using large 5-inch screws to ensure they hold up against extreme weather.
• Replaced Corner Pieces with a Perfect Match—instead of painting a white corner piece, we ordered a full box to ensure a seamless, professional finish.
• Addressed the Fascia Crack by adding a custom gutter system for the larger corner ledge, preventing further damage.

Results: A Durable, Low-Maintenance Gutter System

With reinforced gutters, better drainage, and added winter support, this Park City home is now equipped to handle heavy snowfall while preventing future clogs and water damage. The homeowner can enjoy peace of mind, knowing their foundation, fascia, and entire gutter system are built to last through every season.
