Gutter Installation, Cleaning & Repair in I’On, Mount Pleasant, SC

No. The I’On Design Committee’s guidelines say gutters must be smooth square or half-round, in metal, aluminum or copper, and that K-style gutters and ridged downspouts are not approved. We install half-round and box gutters that meet those rules. If your house has an older non-conforming run, we can replace it with a profile the committee allows.

According to I’On’s guidelines, maintenance and repair with no change to design, product, material or size can be approved without a full review and with no fee, but it still requires an IDC permit. Anything that changes the look needs a full application. We put our scope in writing so you have exactly what to submit.

That is usually the French drain backing up. In I’On most downspouts tie into an underground line that ends at a pop-up emitter. When roof grit, leaves or mulch block the line or bury the pop-up, water backs up and comes out at the downspout. We clear the gutter and the downspout down to the ground connection so debris stops feeding the line, and if water still backs up, we will tell you the drain line itself needs a drainage contractor.

Two to four times a year, depending on the trees near your roof. Homes along the lakes and parks get more leaves and pollen. Because every downspout feeds an underground drain, cleaning matters more here: debris that gets past the gutter ends up in the drain line. A spring and fall cleaning with every downspout flushed covers most homes.

Yes. BroGuard fine metal mesh can be fitted to half-round and box gutters, and it sits low enough that it does not change how the roof edge looks from the street. It keeps leaves out of the gutter and out of the French drain below, while heavy summer rain still drains through. We confirm it fits your profile on the walkthrough.
