Full Gutter System Replacement — Edison
Project Intro
An Edison community HOA contacted Alpha Pro Construction LLC to replace the aging gutter systems across their 48-unit townhome community. The original aluminum gutters had been in place for 23 years and were experiencing widespread joint failures, sag, and overflow issues that were causing foundation erosion and basement moisture problems in multiple units.
We proposed a complete replacement with .032-gauge seamless aluminum K-style gutters fabricated on-site by our truck-mounted roll former, eliminating all joint seams along the gutter runs. We also recommended connecting all downspouts to an underground drainage system that channels water to the community’s storm retention area — permanently solving the foundation erosion problem.

- On-Site Roll-Formed — Zero Joints
- Underground Downspout Drainage System
- Stainless Steel Hidden Hanger System
Challenge & Solution
Working across 48 units required careful coordination with the HOA management company to notify residents of work schedules and protect personal property stored on patios and near downspout locations. Several units had landscaping directly under gutter lines that required protective covering during installation.
The underground drainage component required excavation along the building perimeter in areas where irrigation lines and electrical conduit were present. We engaged a locating service before any excavation and adjusted the drainage route at two locations to avoid conflicts. All excavation was hand-dug within 18 inches of known utilities.

Working Process
Community Survey & Layout
All 48 units measured; drainage routes planned and utility locates completed before mobilization.
Gutter Replacement
Old gutters removed; seamless sections roll-formed on-site and installed with hidden hangers at 16" O.C.
Underground Drainage
Downspouts connected to new perforated pipe system; all trenches backfilled and landscaping restored.
Delivering Results
The community’s persistent foundation moisture issues were fully resolved within one rainy season after the underground drainage system was installed. Zero units reported gutter overflow or downspout leaks in the first year following completion — a marked improvement over the 12+ annual service calls the HOA had been generating under the old system.
Alpha Pro Construction LLC completed the community in phases over three weeks, keeping every resident informed and restoring all landscaping disturbed during drainage installation. The HOA board voted to add Alpha Pro as their preferred contractor for all exterior building envelope maintenance going forward.
