Installing grates

Climate change is causing increasingly heavy rainfall. These heavy rains also increase the risk of flooding. This may require measures to better protect your home against flooding. One such measure is the installation of a grate gutter.

What does installing a slatted gutter involve?

Heavy rainfall increases the likelihood of water flowing in through passageways such as the front and back doors, garage door, and skylight. A grate gutter, also known as a drainage gutter, drain gutter, or line gutter, in front of a passageway prevents flooding. The gutter directs the water away from the passageway.

On the internet, you will find various calculation programs that help you determine which type of gutter best suits your specific situation.

Costs

The cost of a gutter depends on the design and size. The number of grating gutters required depends on the situation.

Use of space

This measure makes sense if water is entering your home through the front or back door, the skylight, the walls, or the garage underneath the house.

What do you need?

You need to have experience in home improvement or hire a contractor.

Tips

You can also install a gutter at the entrance to a lower-lying garage. However, the water cannot drain away naturally here. Pumping the water away offers a solution.
