Gutter Systems & Drainage
Protecting your roof, foundation, and exterior from water damage.
Gutters play a critical role in protecting your home. When water isn’t directed away properly, it can damage roofing components, siding, fascia, foundations, and landscaping — often without immediate warning signs.
Gilstrap Roofing provides gutter and drainage solutions designed to manage water effectively, prevent hidden damage, and support the performance of your entire exterior system.

Why Proper Drainage Matters
Roofing systems don’t fail in isolation. Many roof, siding, and foundation problems are caused — or made worse — by poor water management.
Effective gutter systems help:
- Prevent roof edge rot and fascia damage
- Reduce siding and trim deterioration
- Protect foundations from water intrusion
- Minimize basement and crawlspace moisture
- Control erosion around your home
When drainage fails, damage often spreads beyond the gutters themselves.
Common Gutter & Drainage Problems We Address
Clogged or Overflowing Gutters
Debris buildup prevents proper water flow, causing overflow that damages roof edges, siding, and landscaping.
Sagging or Detached Gutters
Improper fastening or age-related wear can cause gutters to pull away, compromising drainage and creating safety concerns.
Improper Slope or Drainage Design
Gutters that aren’t pitched correctly fail to move water efficiently, leading to pooling and overflow.
Downspout Issues
Poorly placed or undersized downspouts can direct water toward foundations instead of away from them.
Storm-Related Gutter Damage
High winds and heavy rain can loosen, dent, or detach gutters — often alongside roof or siding damage.
