Eavestrough

While some homeowners may attempt to install eavestroughs themselves, we highly recommend professional installation. 

The process requires precision and skill to ensure that the eavestroughs are properly aligned and secured for optimal water flow. 

Additionally, improper installation can result in damage to your property, including potential water damage to your home's foundation. 

At Limestone Construction and Excavating, our team of professionals has the expertise to ensure a proper and safe installation.

The frequency of eavestrough replacement or repair largely depends on the material used, the local climate, and how well they're maintained. 

Typically, well-installed and properly maintained eavestroughs can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years. However, if you notice persistent issues like leaks, rust, sagging, or overflow even after repairs, it might be time to consider a replacement. 

Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the life of your eavestroughs and prevent any unexpected issues.

Definitely! At Limestone Construction and Excavating, we're a versatile team offering more than just eavestrough services.

It may seem unnecessary to use the DoublePro® or T-Rex® continuous hanger™ system if there are no trees around your home. But the continuous hanger’s main strengths are its robustness, strength, durability, and quality.

With a continuous hanger, your eavestroughs will be stronger and more durable than any others. New trees may grow… and your eavestroughs will still be in perfect condition after 25, 30, and even 40 years! People who buy the DoublePro® or T-Rex® system want what’s best for their gutters, just as they do for their doors, windows, and all other components of their home.

Even if all the perforations get covered, which never happens because the wind sweeps away leaves and debris, Alu-Rex products can drain up to three times the quantity of water ever recorded in the heaviest rainstorm. How? Because wet leaves remain permeable. Water still gets between the leaves allowing it to drain into the eavestrough. Water will always find its way into the holes.

Additionally, the exclusive design of Alu-Rex products features an approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm) deep basin. Testing in the lab and in the field has shown this to be the right depth to catch more water without stopping the wind from doing its job of sweeping away leaves, pine needles, and debris from the surface. Beware of look-alike products that are completely flat. Water can overflow when products are not equipped with a basin.

The maximum weight your gutter can support with a continuous hanger system, like the DoublePro® or the T-Rex® is 250 lb per linear foot (373 kg per linear meter). That’s 50% stronger than with spikes or hangers.
