Built-In Gutter Systems

About Built-In Gutters

Built-In Gutters, also known as Hidden Gutters, are gutter systems integrated into the eaves of the roof. This design uses the board to frame a trough for rainwater collection at the roof edge, requiring a waterproof membrane under the roofing material and a Cap Flashing for protection and finish. Water is drained via a copper pipe soldered to a flange.

However, this system can have issues like poor sloping, inadequate capacity, and poorly placed drains. As the gutters are built into the structure, leaks can cause structural damage. Regular professional cleaning and inspection can prevent expensive wood repairs.

Signs of water ingress include dark areas on the fascia boards and staining or discoloration of the soffits. Weather and temperature also influence when repairs can be undertaken.

At Precision Gutters Ltd, we provide services for EPDM built-in gutter systems, including patching holes, repairing failed seams, replacing or upgrading outlets, and full membrane replacements. We also replace damaged boards and produce flashings and capping in various colors.
