Do your Gutters Appear to be Rusting?
We understand that pure aluminum does not rust, but this does not mean homeowners are not susceptible to deterioration of their aluminum gutters. Even new aluminum gutters can often come from an impure combination of aluminum and trace amounts of other metals such as nickel, lead, or steel. If your gutters appear to be rusting, the aluminum is deteriorating due to a reaction to these other metals or is an indication of an impure aluminum product. This process is called galvanic corrosion or anodization. AquaSeal only uses quality North American aluminum of the highest purity that will not rust or suffer from galvanic corrosion.
Additional Value-added Maintenance

Install new EPDM gutter lining including drains and seals.
Install new drain locations including new downspouts and leaf traps if needed.
Repair or replace fascia, sub-fascia, and interior structural elements as needed.
