7 Inch Gutters in Northeast Metro Atlanta

When a clean 6 inch system still overflows in normal rain, when the roof sends more water than 6 inch can carry, or when several gutters drain into one. They are built for commercial buildings, barns and very large homes, paired with oversized downspouts.

No. Commercial buildings and barns use them most, but very large homes do too, especially where one big roof plane drains to a single run. On commercial jobs around Northeast Atlanta we use 7 inch on long or low-slope roof planes and anywhere a large roof area feeds one gutter.

That is the kind of rain they are built for. When the remnants of a tropical storm stall over North Georgia in late summer or fall, a large roof can send water for hours without a break. A 7 inch trough with enough oversized outlets keeps up, where a smaller system backs up and spills down the wall.

Yes. A 7 inch gutter carries more water than standard downspouts can move, so it gets oversized downspouts and often more of them. We work out the outlets from the roof area and how hard the rain falls, because a big trough with too few downspouts still overflows.

If a clean 6 inch gutter spills in normal rain, the roof is probably sending more water than it can carry, or several gutters are draining into that one run. Moving to 7 inch with oversized outlets, or adding downspouts in the right places, usually fixes it.

Yes. We form 7 inch runs on site from coil, just like our 5 and 6 inch, so a long commercial wall in Lawrenceville or Winder gets one continuous piece instead of sections joined every twenty feet. Call (770) 637-5130 to set up a measurement.
