Gutter, Downspout & Drainage Scope Record
Gutter work rarely needs a standalone building permit, but discharge location, storm tie-ins and HOA review do get questioned — and a written scope record protects the job when grading or basement moisture becomes a dispute.
Who uses it
Gutter installers, roofing companies with gutter divisions, and exterior contractors.
What the generated document includes
- Gutter profile, size and linear footage
- Downspout count, size and discharge points
- Storm-sewer tie-in or daylight discharge notes
- Gutter guard scope and homeowner sign-off block
Mistakes that get it kicked back
- Discharging downspouts against the foundation instead of the required distance from the wall
- Tying into a municipal storm sewer without checking whether a plumbing permit is required
- Leaving the discharge point undocumented when drainage complaints come back later
