Rosedale's bungalows and Cape Cods along Philadelphia Road and the surrounding streets are honest, hardworking houses — and their gutters are usually the same age as the mortgage-burning party. What makes Rosedale interesting is the additions: half the homes have a flat-roofed rear addition — a family room, an enclosed porch, a garage bump-out — with its own little gutter that was clearly an afterthought. That add-on gutter is the problem child on almost every street.
Flat-roof additions drain differently. The water comes off fast and flat, the little gutter is often undersized, and the downspout usually dumps right at the foundation of the addition — which is exactly where you do not want it, because addition foundations are the leakiest. We see more damp-addition complaints in Rosedale than anywhere else, and the fix is almost always the same: size the add-on gutter right, pitch it correctly, and get the downspout discharge away from the foundation with extensions.
The main house gutters are usually straightforward — repairs, re-pitching, and cleanings keep them going. Tree cover is moderate, so guards are a judgment call we make per house. But if your rear addition has water issues, start there — it is the highest-leverage gutter work on the property.
