Original 5" gutters
Original 5" gutters from 1950s installations are well past their service life.
Properly sized, properly routed — water away from your foundation.
Most foundation water problems in Merriam aren't caused by failing gutters — they're caused by undersized or poorly-routed downspouts. We add capacity, reroute discharge, and install extensions or underground drainage that actually moves water away from your foundation.
Most Merriam basement seepage problems we diagnose come back to one root cause: downspouts dumping water within 3 feet of the foundation. We fix this for $400-$900 per run.

Walk every downspout discharge point at your Merriam home — find where water is pooling or moving toward the foundation.
Confirm downspout count and size matches your gutter system's actual capacity.
Add downspouts, swap to oversized 3×4, or reroute existing ones.
Above-grade extensions, underground PVC with emitter, or splash blocks — whichever fits the property.
Pour or hose test to confirm water moves at least 6 ft from the foundation.
Same crews. Same warranty. Same 5.0-star standard. Some of the Merriam neighborhoods where we’ve worked:
“We have a complex two-story with multiple roof pitches. Premier was the only company that didn't try to talk us into a one-size-fits-all install. The custom work shows.”
“Fast quote, fair price, and they actually showed up when they said they would. Crew repaired some hidden wood rot before installing — most companies would have just slapped gutters over it.”
