It rains on few days in Scottsdale, but monsoon storms dump water fast. Gutters keep it from washing out gravel yards and pouring over doors and patios. Flat roofs drain through scuppers that must stay clear. We install and repair gutters, downspouts and scuppers and size them for short, heavy storms.
Many Scottsdale houses were built without gutters, because it rains on few days a year. When it does rain, it comes hard. A monsoon cell can pour water off a tile roof in sheets, digging trenches in gravel yards, splashing mud on stucco and flooding the patio door. Gutters and downspouts take that water and put it where you want it. We install and repair them on homes and businesses in Scottsdale and nearby towns.
Desert gutters have their own problems. They sit dry for months and fill with dust, palm and mesquite litter and grit from the roof, then have to carry a burst of water all at once. Heat makes metal expand and contract every day, which loosens fasteners and opens seams. On tile roofs the gutter has to sit so water running off the tile edge lands in it, not behind it. We size the gutter and the number of downspouts for heavy, short storms.
Flat roofs handle water differently. They drain through scuppers in the parapet wall into downspouts or collector boxes, and a blocked scupper can leave a pond on the roof. We clear, repair and replace scuppers, collector heads and downspouts as part of gutter work. If your gutters leak at the joints, pull away from the fascia or overflow in the middle, we look at the slope and the hangers first. Many of those faults can be repaired without replacing the full run.
Gutters in Scottsdale: common questions
Do I really need gutters in Scottsdale?
Not every house does. They help most where roof water erodes the yard, pools near the foundation or pours over a door or walkway during monsoon storms.
How often should gutters be cleaned here?
Clean them before the monsoon starts in June and check them again after the storm season. Houses under mesquite, palo verde or palm trees need it more often.
Can you fix a scupper on a flat roof?
Yes. We repair and replace scuppers, collector boxes and downspouts, and we check the roof membrane or foam around the opening, which is a common leak spot.
