Household Gutters - Installing The Gutter Sections And Drain Pipes

The two remaining tasks to complete when installing domestic or household gutters in homes, houses and residences in residential areas in Johannesburg South Africa are to fit or fix the gutter sections and then to install the drain pipes or downspouts. The gutter sections need to be fixed or installed from the ground upwards. Most installers, who have been installing household gutters for a long time, find this step to be the easiest step of all during the installation process. These gutter sections are fixed into place using special connectors. These special connectors will ensure that the gutter sections match or line up and snap into the gutter sections. Once this is done the household gutters will need to be fitted or placed into the gutter hangers. In order to make the hanging of the gutters easier, prior to hanging the gutters the installer needs to ask someone to help him or her by supporting or holding the gutters while the installer is busy hanging them.

The final task left for the installer during the house gutters installation job is to install the drain pipes in or to the guttering system. The drain pipes, in guttering terminology, are referred to as the downspouts. The first task to install the downspouts is to cut a piece of drainpipe to fit between the downspout elbow joint on the outlet and to the one on the wall of the home, house or residence that you are attaching the gutters to. Place the elbows on the pipe and then snap it onto the outlet. Next the installer needs to make sure that they secure the other elbow onto the wall. To make sure this is done correctly drainpipe hanger must be used. Once the elbow is securely fitted to the wall then another piece of drainpipe needs to be cut and then fitted between the wall elbow and the ‘hang down’.

This needs to be fitted at a distance of about one foot above the ground. The drain pipe can then be snapped into the wall. The installer then needs to attach another new elbow joint down near the ground. Here a hanger must be used to fasten the drain pipe and once the correct length of drainpipe has been cut, that length is attached to this joint. This construction will then funnel the water away from the side of the resident’s home or house. The installer needs to understand that this piece may be as long or as short as is needed. People who install household gutters and guttering system should not do the job by themselves. They should always have someone assist them as it is much easier and quicker to install gutters, especially when it comes to aligning the whole gutter run, than to attempt to install the whole guttering system by themselves.
