Assess and Plan the Drain Substitution Venture

DIY drain substitution can save you substantially over professionally installed gutters, however there are a couple of pitfalls to look out for. Inspect the fascia and soffit (Fig. B, underneath) for signs of decayed wood, which should be supplanted before you set up the rain gutters. Many houses have a trim board or crown moulding nailed to the fascia simply under the shingles. You’ll have to eliminate this, as we did, or add a continuous strip of wood under it to make a level plane for the gutters. In either case, prime and paint uncovered wood before you hang the gutters.

Draw a Sketch and Measure Your Home Before Installing Rain Gutters

Fig. A (underneath) shows an illustration of a rain drain framework for a typical house. Record the length of the rain drain runs and imprint the downspout locations. Then count up the inside and outside corners and end covers (note whether they are right or left closes). Measure the height of the downspouts and add four feet to each for the extension away from the house at the base.

⦁ Find downspouts in unhampered regions where water can be directed away from the house. Avoid locations with snags like electric meters, hose bibs or sidewalks.

⦁ Place downspouts in inconspicuous locations if possible.

⦁ Install oversized 3×4-in. downspouts on gutters that drain enormous rooftop regions or on the other hand if you live in a space with torrential rains.
