Follow the Water From the Top
Rain hits the roof, runs to the eaves, and should drop cleanly into the gutter. Missing drip edge, short shingle overhangs or worn flashing let water curl back onto fascia and soak it. We check those edge details first because no gutter system works well if water misses it.
Gutters Sized for Real Storms
Seamless gutters have no joints to leak along their runs. On larger roofs or steep pitches, upsizing to wider gutters and oversized downspouts helps them keep up during cloudbursts. Gutter guards reduce clogs under trees. We pitch every run so water does not sit and add hangers close enough to handle weight.
Where Downspouts Should Go
A downspout that empties right beside the foundation can do more harm than none at all. Extensions, splash blocks or buried drain lines carry water several feet away. Where water collects in a low spot, a French drain or regrading may be the fix.
Walls That Shed Water
Siding should overlap correctly, sit above grade, and have flashing above windows and doors. We often find splash-back staining and rot on the bottom course where soil or mulch is too high. Correcting clearances and replacing damaged pieces stops the cycle. For siding work specifically, see our Nettleton Hardie siding and gutters page.
Signs Your Drainage Needs Work

Common Questions
What makes Tekton Exteriors a reliable contractor for drainage issues in Nettleton?
We handle the roof edge, gutters, siding and grading as one system, so we can fix where water is coming from rather than just the spot where it shows up.
How can I tell if my Nettleton home needs exterior repairs?
Watch the house during a hard rain. Overflowing gutters, water sheeting down siding and puddles against the foundation all point to problems worth checking.
Are gutter guards worth it?
Under trees, they reduce clogs and cleaning visits. They still need occasional checks, but they help gutters keep flowing in heavy storms.
Do you offer warranties for gutter and siding work?
Yes. Workmanship coverage and manufacturer warranties are explained in writing with your estimate.
