Gutters, Downspouts, and Soffits

Lemke Home Improvements has been installing commercial gutters, downspouts, and soffits for years. Gutters, downspouts, and soffits can be designed to help accent the overall design of the overall commercial building while still providing the functional purpose the gutters, downspouts, and soffits were intended for.

Helpful Information About the Importance of Gutters and Downspouts

When rain falls or snow melts, there can be a tremendous amount of water a roof collects, and will need to shed. The guttering on a commercial building plays an important function to help collect this water, and then move it to the downspouts. The downspout captures the water from the gutter, then takes the water down the side of the commercial building into a downspout that is normally extended at the base. The downspout extension at the base moves the water away from the commercial building.

The reason why it is important to move water away from a commercial building is to prevent problems from potentially surfacing by having too much moisture in the ground. Additionally, soils in parts of the Red River Valley can be a heavier soil that tend to retain moisture much longer than a sandy type soil.

If you are worried about gutter maintenance, Lemke Home Improvements can install Leaf Shelters for Gutters. By installing Leaf Shelters for Gutters, which is essentially a guard for gutters, makes maintenance to remove leaves from the gutters virtually non-existent.

Helpful Information About the Importance of Soffits

Commercial buildings that use soffits helps control moisture in the attic space by allowing air to flow into the attic space. Soffits are placed on the underside of the sections of the roof that overhangs the walls.
