HOW TO UNCLOG GUTTERS IN VALLADOLID

12/7/2020

Gutter clogging is a very common problem in all types of homes. Obstructions are easily identifiable, so we recommend that you go to professional gutter specialists as soon as possible, to remedy them in time.

Now that we are in summer, it is an ideal time to do small repairs at home and fine-tune the installation of gutters in your home, leaving them ready for the arrival of the rains in autumn.

If you are thinking of carrying out a job of laying rain gutters or repairing gutters and downspouts, we advise you to trust gutter experts in Valladolid . Only professionals will be able to study in detail the particular situation of your home, evaluate the state of your rainwater withdrawal system and make the best recommendations adapted to your budget.

Why are the Gutters clogged?

The best way to avoid gutter clogs is to do regular gutter maintenance . It is advisable to do a professional canal cleaning at least once a year. Prevention is the best remedy to avoid obstructions, with proper cleaning, it is highly unlikely that gutter and downspout clogs will occur.

However, most blockages are usually caused by:

Leaf build-up - Fallen leaves from trees are one of the main causes of jams. Especially in autumn, when the trees lose their leaves. We can find large accumulations of litter, branches, and other accumulated dirt, which when it rains is dragged into the downspouts and can cause sediment accumulation and hence cause the obstruction of our rainwater withdrawal system. The same happens with pollen, so it is advisable to clean gutters after spring in those areas where the presence of pollen is very high.
Bird nests: More than once we have found bird nests created inside the gutters, they seem the ideal place for certain types of birds to nest. The nests prevent the gutter from withdrawing the water to its maximum capacity, causing overflows in most cases.
Accumulation of other waste: it is common to find plastic debris clogging gutters in houses in the city. Plastic can be very harmful to our drainage system, since being non-porous, it does not allow the passage of water and can cause overflows that cause damage to the facade of the building.

How to unclog the Rain Gutters?

Once the traffic jam is identified, the first thing you should do is go to experts in rain gutters so that they can proceed to solve the problem safely, quickly and professionally.

The first thing is to locate the exact point where the obstruction has occurred. If the jam is in the gutter, it will be easier to clear it. However, if the clog has occurred in the downspout, it may be necessary to disassemble the affected part in order to effectively remove the accumulated dirt.

The most common is to use pressurized water to dissolve the accumulation of residues, this accompanied by a previous manual removal of waste, should be enough. However, when the clog is in the downspout, it is more complicated, so we recommend that you never try to unclog it yourself. We have adequate professional tools to do these jobs, ensuring the good condition of your drainage system. Malpractice could lead to loosening the joints and fixings of the gutter and downspout, leaving the gutter system in your home unusable.

How to avoid traffic jams in the gutter?

The use of accessories that help us prevent clogging in the channels are becoming more popular. One of the most used elements are the gutter covers . It is a protective net, which acts as a strainer, allowing rainwater to filter, and preventing waste from entering the gutter and downspouts.

They can be made of plastic or metal, they are also flat or curved outwards. The best thing is to be advised by our professionals, since it is convenient to install one type or another of gutter gratings depending on the material and the state of the same, on the resistance offered by the material and the slope.

Gutter grating may seem easy, however gutter installation experts should be consulted for proper installation. It is necessary to anchor it well to the structure of the gutter, to prevent external agents such as a strong force or the action of the birds from lifting them, rendering them useless.

With these accessories and a professional gutter cleaning periodically, you are assured the proper functioning of your water removal system all year round.

How to carry out a good Maintenance of the Gutters?

As we have already mentioned, the best way to carry out proper maintenance is to clean the gutters regularly, at least once a year. Although the frequency may vary depending on the geographical area in which we are. For example, an area with high rainfall will not need the same maintenance as a dry area. The same criteria apply to a home that is located in a wooded area, surrounded by vegetation than another that is not.

For all these reasons, it is advisable to clean the gutter in late fall. Although in areas with a large amount of pollen, it is recommended to do two cleanings, one after spring to remove the accumulation of pollen and another at the end of the fall, to remove the accumulation of litter from the gutters.

The cleaning process consists of two parts.

Manual removal of dirt: The first step is to access the channels, always respecting the relevant safety measures when carrying out work at height, and begin to manually remove all the residues accumulated in the channel, leaves, dust, pollen, animal feathers, among other waste.
Use of pressurized water: Once we have cleaned surface dirt, we proceed to do a thorough cleaning thanks to the use of a pressurized water hose. The pressurized water allows us to remove the embedded dirt and drag the last remains of sediment that may remain. When using water, we will easily check the good or bad operation of the drainage system. We will be able to clearly see if the water flows correctly through the gutter and downspout, or if, on the contrary, there is an obstruction.

The regular cleaning of the gutters allows us to detect major problems in our rainwater withdrawal system in time. We can see if there are leaks or water leaks in any section of the gutter. In this way we could repair it on the spot, avoiding having to change the entire gutter in the future, thus saving us a lot of money.

What problems can a Clog in Gutters and Downspouts cause?

Gutters play a fundamental role in all buildings and homes. They are the main system for collecting and conducting rainwater. Its main purpose is to direct the water away from the foundation of the building. Since a continuous leak in the foundations of any building would imply a weakening of the structure, which can lead to fatal consequences, for the construction and the safety and well-being of its inhabitants.

If we neglect maintenance, we can incur large expenses in rain gutter repairs or even having to change the entire gutter . However, a professional cleaning and a periodic review guarantee us optimal operation.

Otherwise, it can cause water leaks, bursting of the fixings and joints that join the different parts that make up a gutter, water overflows, etc. This translates into the appearance of leaks and humidity inside and outside the house, the appearance of mold, peeling of the paint, the appearance of stains on the facade, etc.

To prevent and avoid all these conditions in your home, get in touch with a gutter specialist company . The only guarantee of professional work and a long-lasting and resistant drainage system.

HOW TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN GUTTERS?

ik@ippei.com (Tori Klein) — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 21:44:44 GMT

HOW TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN GUTTERS?

7/14/2020

The correct cleaning of the gutters is essential and not only for the proper maintenance of these but, even, to avoid significant damage to the building itself. It is normal not to take care of the maintenance of the gutters, since normally we do not notice it and we unconsciously neglect their care. Which can have dire consequences for the state of our home.

We have the best professional gutter experts. Equipped with professional tools and materials of the highest quality that guarantee the good care of your gutters and downspouts. Our maintenance work is the most complete on the market, since, in addition, it includes the revision of anchors, fixings and eaves, key elements for the correct operation of rain gutters and aspects that must be taken into account when the care work is carried out. And maintenance.

Professional care for proper Gutter Maintenance

If you wonder what are the advantages of professional channel maintenance? We are going to give you some ideas:

The main advantage is the specialized training of our professionals, which allows us to access security and solvency to the installation of your gutters. It is easy to understand that a periodically well maintained facilities, annually would be ideal, prevent the appearance of damages before they become serious.

A professional job, by definition, is the antithesis of an amateur job that is synonymous with poorly done work and worse finished. We are professionals and we make sure that our work is well done and with full customer satisfaction. For this, we have the necessary means, equipment, materials and knowledge.

A simple but important section is cleaning the gutters, to discover the periodically performed by both small flaws and imbalances before they go to more. This is the importance of good maintenance carried out regularly.

How is the Gutter Cleaning done?

The first task to carry out for a good maintenance job is the correct cleaning of the gutters and downspouts . Indeed, a significant amount of leaves, straws, twigs, pigeon feathers and many other solid residues accumulate in the gutters; The amount of these objects that appear after a year seems unbelievable. These residues prevent gutters and downspouts from working properly. It is very important to check the joints, fixings, elbows, gutters and downspouts, to ensure that they are in perfect condition, and guarantee the correct operation of the drainage system of our home. When cleaning them, we can find flaws and damages, caused by the passage of time and rainfall.

Once the damage is detected, it must be repaired as soon as possible. Detected early, the solution may be a simple replacement repair of the damaged section of the gutter ; if the damage were greater, perhaps the entire drainage system would have to be changed . In this situation, it is important to be able to offer alternative solutions to adjust to each person's budget, this is only possible if you contact a professional and solvent company.

Of course, it all depends on the condition of your gutter and downspout installation. If it has been a long time since professional maintenance has been carried out, it is normal that there are major defects in your drainage system. Therefore, the first step to carry out is to carry out a detailed and professional inspection of gutters and downspouts. We review the critical points such as all those that can cause a collapse of the system due to corrosion, bad condition of the joints, excessive weight of the dammed water, loose or corroded fasteners. Defects all of them, as you can see, derived from the lack of maintenance.

Tools Needed to Clean Rain Gutters

The main objective of carrying out adequate maintenance is to extend and preserve the useful life of our gutters; This will produce significant savings over time. It is critical to clean gutters and downspouts once a year, even twice would be ideal: one in spring and the other in fall.

Gutter cleaning is a relatively simple task, so it is normal for you to ask yourself , how can I clean the gutters myself? , and indeed you can. However, we never recommend it, for safety reasons, since working at heights involves risks and you have to comply with safety regulations. Once this point is clarified, we are going to teach you the essential tools to carry out the cleaning with all solvency.

Ladder: Essential to carry out any work at height. A strong ladder with a stable base is the ideal tool for this job.
Hose: In the gutters throughout the year a lot of dirt accumulates: leaves, grass, dry branches, bird feathers, plastics and other debris. To be able to remove them, the simplest thing is a good jet of water with enough pressure to drag them and push the water towards the downspouts.
Water pressure machine: A "pressure washer" is an ideal machine. But this tool is only available for specialized companies and should be used only by trained professions, as improper use can cause significant damage to gutters, anchors and downspouts, due to pressurized water.
Wire brush: A wire brush is necessary to be able to clean the surface of the gutters with enough energy, with this we will achieve a deep cleaning since we will not only remove dirt but also the remains of mold that moisture may have caused .
Scraper: We will use this tool when the amount of waste is very high. When the residues cannot be removed with pressurized water, a special tool must be used that allows them to be removed without them coming down the downspouts to avoid clogging.

How to Install a Gutter on an Overhang?

Many constructions have overhangs or ailerons, sometimes for aesthetics and others for more practical reasons, such as to collect the water that overflows towards the facades. Whatever its function, it is important to install a gutter suitable for the structure of the house that collects the water from these spoilers.

The first thing to consider is the state of the roofs. We all know that before carrying out any type of installation on a roof, you have to check the condition of the roof, the tiles, the existence of leaks and humidity, etc. It is essential that this work is done by a professional, first for safety, second because this will prevent the tiles from breaking. Indeed, in many situations when an inspection of the condition of the roof is carried out, the tiles are unduly stepped on and damaged, either by their breakage or by their displacement. In the event of damage to the roof (s), it is essential that the roof be repaired before installing any gutters.

The second thing is to check the spoiler. It is essential that we check the condition of the spoiler, since the safety of the gutters depends on it. We must ensure that the overhang is in perfect condition, without cracks or apparent damage, and with enough stability to support the weight of the installation of our gutter.

Our rainwater evacuation system it rests on some good supports that we call anchors, which are the pieces on which the gutters are mounted. Hence the importance of checking not only the roof, as we have previously pointed out, but the state of the ailerons. The anchors are normally bolted to the wall and only if it is in good condition and is strong enough can it support the weight of the gutter, which will be increased by the weight of the rainwater collected.

Once the gutter anchors have been installed, the gutter must be placed and fixed. This work is essential, and the long life or not of the gutter installation depends on its proper performance.

Once all of the above is done, we only have to evacuate the rainwater by installing the downspouts. We will do this by means of elbows that connect the gutters with the downspouts and in sufficient number to ensure the correct evacuation of rainwater. Carrying out a study of the rainfall in the area will help us determine the appropriate number and flow of downspouts.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATERPROOFING ON ROOFS AND ROOFS

ik@ippei.com (Tori Klein) — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 22:55:09 GMT

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATERPROOFING ON ROOFS AND ROOFS

7/24/2020

Of all the roof repair jobs, waterproofing is presented to us as one of the most important, if not the most important, to preserve the good condition of our roof and, therefore, of our home, which could lead to a inexhaustible source of problems, including, the health of our family.

Types of Waterproofing

For some time now, one of the most used materials for waterproofing is “ chlorine rubber ” which, in addition, has the advantage of its ease of installation and, above all, it is relatively inexpensive, although it has the counterpart that it does not it is durable.

Another widely used system is that of " bituminous slats ", this system of sheets resists the elements very well, they adapt perfectly to the surface regardless of its shape. Of course, we remember that if you need to waterproof the roof of your home in Valladolid, the application should only be carried out by a professional waterproofing company.

A third system would be that of " liquid membranes ” With a polyurethane base. It is a durable system, not like “chlorine rubber” and weather resistant like “bituminous slats”, it also adapts to all types of surfaces and shapes, having a high ease of application. All this makes it one of the best materials for waterproofing.

We have only made a presentation here of the main waterproofing methods , but there are many others, such as asphalt fabrics (perhaps the most used), PVC sheets, bituminous slats, liquid membranes, etc. They are the usual ones and the installation must be adapted to the characteristics of the roof, and the needs of each case.

Advantages of Waterproofing a Roof or Terrace

An added advantage of a good waterproofing system is the thermal, cold and heat insulation that it carries. Before waterproofing, we

, as an expert waterproofing company in Valladolid , carry out a professional study of the condition of the roof and the characteristics of the roof of your home to recommend the best waterproofing system.

Whenever you detect water leaks in your home, you should think about making a good waterproofing and thermal insulation of the roof. A comprehensive reform of the roof is necessary to avoid humidity, leaks, detachments and damage, which will always get worse over time and, each time, will be more expensive and difficult to repair.

When to perform a Waterproofing in Valladolid

It is always necessary to waterproof new homes to extend their good condition and offer good insulation conditions against extreme temperatures and humidity. But the waterproofing of buildings deteriorate over time due to several causes:

The first, precisely the passing of the years, which causes, due to the aging of the materials, the appearance of cracks in the asphalt fabric and, therefore, leaks.
The second is the placement of collective antennas on roofs and roofs, as well as their successive repairs over time, with the footsteps and movement of materials on a surface that is not suitable for that use.
And the third is caused by other factors, such as the installation of air conditioners, which also cause damage to the roofs.

The water leaks by leaks, apart from its difficult to solve, can damage not only the visible humidities, but very serious internal damage in the structure of the building. In addition, economic damage from heat leaks inside the house. If there is a problem with the waterproofing in a building and they are not solved in a short period of time, in the long run they worsen and cause other problems that are more difficult to solve, such as structural ones. A leak ends up damaging the load-bearing walls, which is why good waterproofing maintenance is important, because its main function is to preserve and extend the useful life of the building.

Why it is important to repair dampness and leaks

The repair of moisture is a critical task that must be done by a professional company. The walls, roofs and facades can have mold stains, this is a very clear symptom of damage due to humidity, but, and this is the most important thing, these humidity can seriously affect people's health. Mold can be caused not only by leaking pipes, but can have other causes. Its origin can be in a bad insulation of the house, humidity by condensation, by capillarity, bad installation of the heating, lack of ventilation, etc. The effects of mold can be serious for the people who inhabit these homes, especially the most vulnerable such as children, the elderly, pregnant women, people with respiratory difficulties.

Dampness in homes can pose a serious threat to a building as it can affect its general structure, causing loss of strength in load-bearing walls. A good waterproofing job is the best solution to avoid these problems.

As a company specialized in waterproofing roofs and terraces , we carry out all kinds of roof and waterproofing restorations with professionalism and guarantee of a perfect result. We work quickly and cleanly, minimizing the inconvenience to the inhabitants and we use the best materials to waterproof. Our professional installers have the best training and training so that your satisfaction is total.

If you want to preserve your building in optimal conditions, we recommend cleaning the gutters and downspouts at least once a year, and monitoring the general condition of the roofs.

PRICE PER LINEAR METER OF CHANNELS

Gutter Accessories

We have already talked about gutters and downspouts, as important as they are the fixings since they are a fundamental part of a good installation. There are different types of fasteners for gutters and materials, which must be carefully selected to guarantee the success of a good installation. Our company will advise you on the best fixings depending on your place of residence; For example, if you live in areas that are windswept or subjected to heavy rain, the bindings must be able to withstand this type of weather.

Another aspect that we have not mentioned but that is very important are the accessories that improve the functionality and efficiency of our gutters. The accessories most demanded by our customers, at present, are gutter covers and downspout protectors. These accessories, of course, increase the price, but they are a more than profitable investment in a very short term. Gutter covers and downspout protectors prevent system clogs and lower maintenance costs, leading to considerable savings.

The section of the gutters is another element that influences the price of the installation per linear meter of gutters. If the gutters have a larger diameter, a larger section, it is logical that they have a higher cost, simply because they use more material. A poor selection of the gutter flow can cause leaks and humidity, because the gutter will overflow with the rain, which will cause difficulties and, in the short term, will cause us to have an extra expense for the replacement of badly dimensioned gutters. All this will be avoided if you hire the services of a professional gutter company in Valladolid , like ours.
