PVC Pipes and New Gutters solve wet basement issues

Thanks for employing Ronald. An older guy, I think the work gives meaning to his life. Not everyone would employ a senior citizen for physical work.

Ronald works better than most 20 year olds I see out on jobs. He’s a bull!!!

It's great that the homeowner was convinced to move on from those insufficient gutters and no messing around trying to salvage & refurbish a failed installation.

[@elginx]

Well this is a nice 1hr surprise for my Friday evening!

[@benjaminbumby1700]

Shawn, tell your gutter guys thanks for letting us see the whole install. It is very interesting to see everything that we have no idea goes into something as 'simple' as the gutters. And tell their apprentice to keep up the great work. He looks like he is doing a great job!

[@GCFD]

[@chrishelms1967]

Thanks for taking the time to lower the volume when loud tool are being used 😊.........also painting the visible pvc is a great touch, and yes enjoyed the gutter footage

[@GCFD]

Thanks for noticing Chris! I really try to make these videos awesome and I've had a lot of help from comments and feedback like yours. I preview the video a couple times before I publish and I am a tough critic.

[@larryehrlich57]

Adding that top screen to the gutter...makes the gutter much stronger. That's an added strenght benefit that the top screen gives to your gutters.

[@stenapproved7684]

Solid. I would recommend putting cleanout Y splitters above ground level right below where the gutter meets the PVC.

[@jonathanjudd3168]

Homeowners should add a critter guard on the discharge pipe.

[@southerndraw8215]

As a former landscaping company owner/operator and a drainage installer. I love watching your videos, they are very informative and in depth. I recently installed a full gutter drainage system at my own home before pouring a slab and referenced your videos before starting. Keep up the good work man.

[@SteveE293]

Feel like i need to watch the gutter guys at 0.75 speed they work so quick, it’s impressive seeing them in action

[@garylatture8948]

The gutter men were good , that is one job that always needs to be done by a pro.

[@GCFD]

Yes I agree. I see so many gutter jobs where they get it wrong and create huge problems.

[@redmatrix]

I like that you spray painted the pipes for the customer!

[@Dompn]

34:00 that gutter leaf block looks like it would work for about two weeks until the leaves clogged it and started growing on top of the gutters.

[@CARyan08]

I second the comment on putting nails/screws in your mouth. Toxic...toxic...toxic. my dad was a builder contractor for 50 years and he would reprimand any of his guys if he saw them putting nails/screws in their mouth.

[@mvoss12]

Took me a minute to realize that the gutter guys had the screws in their mouths!! Haha genius ways to streamline grabbing screws.

[@mydnasample]

Clean and pro. job. Nice finishing touch with painting the exposed pipes to blend in. I really like touches like that. It becomes part of the home not something stuck on as a after thought.

[@alexplisko7794]

How that gutter setup works never ceases to amaze me and he shouldered that dirt shower with good grace! Great stuff and awesome result for all :)

[@blender124]

I was just thinking. It’s great you record your jobs. Not only are they entertaining but If there were ever a problem you have evidence of what was done. Really can protect you in the long run

[@Stratos53100]

Late night dinner feature film... Thats called a "Custom" Downspout.. Without the trencher that would have taken a couple weeks, Great look on the gutters & they make it look easy, Homeowner must be pleased about that

[@barrygrant2907]

Good gutter crew. It's good to see people that know what they're doing at work. I can't tell you how many Florida gutter companies would install new gutters right over rotten facia boards. When you have good crews, you pay them what they are worth! They still push those gutter guards here in S. FL, but the live oak leaves will clog them in a week!

[@andrewhaenel9732]

Where the rotted fascia board looked like it was missing the drip edge. You and your team do great work by the way.

[@Jfrmr1]

This is some of most top tier content on youtube. Watchable for hours on end

[@GCFD]

Thank you! I really try to make my stuff watchable. No filler!

[@jdw2150]

The gutter concept of larger gutters, extra and larger downspouts, you speak of is one I've preached for years and so many just won't listen. Even my own parents listened to the roofer's gutter guy (who cheaped out) and not me when they got a roof, and yes, it ran over on heavy rains, haha. Good work guys!

[@Dompn]

42:22 i watched my neighbor get new gutters. he paid for the best gutters i've seen in a long time. 6 inchers! solid. except no one used a level on them. they were overflowing during the first rain because they were flush with the house (the house had long ago sunk towards the middle) hilarious. gutter guys had to come out and redo it. expensive lesson for gutter people. always use a level.

[@rickybobby9255]

Very complicated pipe runs. Good teamwork got it done. Interesting to see more of the gutter work. The rain footage rounded out this great video!

[@10lauset]

When I lived on the West coast of British Columbia where it does rain a bit, I attended home shows to see what kind of gutters I should get for replacement. There are only needles from cedar and fir trees. The Leaf Guard didn't seem to apply to me, especially as there is always muck from the dust and dirt and how are you going to clean it out. The filter for the gutters in your video would clog the holes and were difficult to clean as well. Oh well, a once-a-year hand scooping was no problem as I'm fairly frugal when it comes to money and I could clean it out myself. Nice to see you showcase the gutter guys as well as the concrete guys. Cheers.

[@DiggingRob]

The Gutter Crew knew what they were doing……Tried DIY Gutter job ….. it was a nightmare 😢 …..Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

You moved a lot water away from that house 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻nice seeing the gutter guys!!!

[@GCFD]

Thank you Tony! This was a good one for sure.

[@charlesfarragut9262]

The gutters company did a really good job. Only thing I wish they would do, which wouldn't take no more than 10 minutes. Blow the leaves off the roof and debris before the gutters or put up. Why would you want all that debris on your new gutters. It also shows that you care, to do that little extra for the homeowner.

[@Treehandler]

Go put gutters on 4 houses a day just to make a decent living and see what it’s like having to clean every house you go to in the fall. Doing your job well is already going above expectations and more than most contractors do as is

[@smokestopper41]

I can actually speak for this company and say that we did. We complete the leaf guard job and then clean the roof off, as well as the new gutter system. Easier clean up in the end with quality components.

[@anthonyfindlay466]

Hey Shawn, glad to see you still have the main man on the job. Ronald brings positive energy to the team, keep up the good work.

[@joeshmoe7789]

Great job! Goes a long way towards protecting the yard and basement and more pleasant living atmosphere. I'm not a fan of any type of gutter guards. They cause heavy rain to skip over the gutter and allow very small debris thru and eventually cause problems. These will do a great job with the big stuff and there's a lot of it here. Need to have a way to clean the gutters every couple of years or when the small stuff builds up. Unfortunately, there is no good solution other than to check them regularly.

[@dougcc51]

I enjoy when you go hack during the rain and see the pipes working GREAT JOB 👍🏾

[@morphthedude]

Everybody get hype! Its time to bury some pipe. 😊 Have a good weekend!

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

Yeah that was a good one. Other thing too is you got to keep the roof clean on that house there. There was a lot of branches. Maybe the people are old. I don't know but a couple of times a year. I grew up on the roof with my leaf blower and clean the roof off and blow all the gutters out. I'll be going up shortly with the now that the leaves are falling off the trees and clearing out the gutters before the snow flies. Good stuff. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

[@dhabbott41]

Good workmanship really makes a difference. Knowing how to solve a problem and solving it correctly makes all the difference on the world.

[@GCFD]

I was happy to catch a couple of those small decisions on building the best gutter possible.

[@SheenaRea]

What a TREAT!!! Frankly this was mesmerizing. Those gutter guys are geniuses!! Such a pleasure to see the job from start to finish. Incredibly amazing how they streamline this work so well. Very good stuff, Shawn!! Thank you 👍👍👍

[@GCFD]

Thank you very Much Sheena! If you noticed I lost the footage of the camera I carry with me on the drainage day, and I was dreading making this video. I think it came out pretty well and I spent a lot of time filming while the gutter guys were there working. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great night!

[@SheenaRea]

@@GCFD It is EXCELLENT. Probably my favorite one you've done. Your work is not unnoticed. I so appreciate all the work you and your guys put into these videos. I've learned so much and I thank you again!! 🙂❣Cheers!! 🍷

[@sku32956]

The leaves and trees on the roof and etc.. keep the area wet will not allow it to dry in a timely manner .

[@GCFD]

It's leaf season right now!

[@gentlebear21713]

Hey Shawn, I really like the way you subtly catch nuances of certain aspects of the building trades in you videos. In this particular instance, the way your gutter guys described the sequence of installing the supports, gutter guards and the screws, not only to maximize the efficiency of the installation, but the way it enhances the performance of the whole system. Which definitely prolongs the life of the entire guttering system and inevitably prolongs the life of the structure itself. Nice job....Your videos are getting better and better. I've been a long time viewer. Keep up the good work!

[@GCFD]

Thank you GB! I don't know if you noticed, but I somehow lost all the footage of the camera I keep on me during the job. There was a ton of info I missed in this video, so I was very reluctant to create and publish it. I finally got it done, and I think it turned out pretty well. The subtle points I think help capture the planning and execution of a job. I'm a scientist and asking questions is natural to me, so I like asking the pros why they are doing things a certain way. Often, they have a reason and that reason is usually very thoughtful. I am very fortunate that the crews I work with are so interested in the overall job and creating a lasting product. Thanks for your long time viewing! - Shawn

[@Sophie_Emilia_von_Zerbst]

I am so amazed by these Amercian gutters in particular. We in Europe may have all those pipes laid out properly with the house being built, but installing gutters couldn't be easier the American way. Just making them on the spot for each house individually out of a roll of flat aluminum is amazing. In Germany gutters (and downspouts) for houses are round and premanufactured. To install downspouts you have to use specific adapters, cut all the pieces to length and stick them together, which seems like a pain in comparison. (Built in the 80's, those seams on my parent's house are leaky and annoying) On the other hand, no one has these sandpaper shingle roofs on normal houses here (on garden sheds only), because they are a pain and have to be replaced regularly (which is kinda expensive, too, imo). It's very nice to see, how good work is being done. Maybe with different regulations and parts, but it's still a very good opportunity to learn and see how things are done elsewhere. Thank you for doing such great work and sharing it with us!

[@terryhiggins9700]

What a great crew to compliment your work and vice versa. One won't work correctly without the other. And attention to detail, with the gutter going through the deck, 👏 brilliant. Love your work Shawn, nice job.

[@hubertwhitlock9968]

I've got those same kind of gutters it takes a steep pitch roof to make them work correctly when water hits them slowly it just overflows but if you put a steep pitch roof there the water retention makes it work I've had mine for 25 years I love them

[@Losttoanyreason]

Been a while since we had a nice drainage video!🥰. You have spoiled me with schedule 40 solid pipe. Every time I see someone in a video using corigated pipe I cringe, 😵‍💫 Your Spectrum experiance was totally different from mine, LOL. They didn't want to let you go. With me a 30 year customer they were unwilling to work with me at all to retain me by giving me a lower deal to keep me as a customer. Now it's an OTA antenna and streaming.

[@GCFD]

I cringe too when I see all the work being done only to throw in corrugated pipe. I'm glad you can recognize quality materials now!

[@markobrien3278]

My house is of a very similar construction, also in a similarly wooded area, and I have those exact same Leaf Guard gutters (the ones that were removed). They actually do work very well, that is until they become clogged with smaller, finer debris over time (~20 years in my case). Then the gap is too small to fit any tools or power washer tips into to clean them out. Although they're in otherwise good shape, this video is making me think it may be time to replace them.

[@leematson8484]

Great info as always

[@1976Datsun]

I like the whole production style of the video. It was action, action, action from the beginning, with some pauses for detail at appropriate times. Well done. I've always thought that those Leafguard gutters would get overwhelmed in a moderately heavy rain. Fine for drizzle but not the real stuff. I live in a rainy leafy area and there's no simple fix. At least your guy's gutters can be cleaned easily. I haven't seem that design, is it his or a big brand name's?
