Gutters in Tea, South Dakota

Tea sits about seven miles southwest of Sioux Falls and has grown fast, from 5,598 people in 2020 to about 7,699 in 2024. The town was laid out in 1894, so it has a small older core with mature trees surrounded by subdivisions built in the last two decades. Which half of town you live in decides what your gutters need.

Tea has the strictest sewer rule of the nearby towns

Roof runoff and sump water can’t go into the sanitary sewer, and the city fines up to $200 for a sump hose connected to it. Building in a flood hazard area needs a floodplain development permit.

If you are planning a buried downspout line, that is the rule to check first, and state law says call 811 at least two business days before digging.

Older core, newer edges

In the original part of town, the usual work is what mature trees and older gutters bring: two cleanings a year, resealed joints, rehung runs and fascia repair where hangers have pulled loose. In the newer subdivisions it is sizing on bigger roof planes and downspouts that have shifted as the ground settled.

Where gutter debris goes

Tea runs a seasonal yard-waste site but publishes no current dates or address, so call City Hall before hauling a load.

What gutter work costs in Tea

Seamless aluminum gutters cost about $12 to $18 per linear foot installed, which comes to roughly $1,800 to $3,600 for the 150 to 200 feet on a typical home. Gutter cleaning runs about $119 to $234 for a typical house in 2026, and the height of the house and any guards set your price. A measured quote settles the price for your roof. You can see what each line of the bill costs before anyone measures.

What the weather here does to gutters

Gutters around Sioux Falls are sized for 7.4 inches of rain an hour, the peak five-minute intensity of a 10-year storm. The 24-hour record at the airport is 5.67 inches, set August 6 and 7, 2022. Winter brings about 45 inches of snow and repeated freeze-thaw, which is what loosens hangers and opens sealed joints. When a gutter freezes solid, the fix usually starts in the attic.

Heat cable earns its place on one spot in Tea that still ices every winter after the attic is sealed, such as a shaded downspout or a valley that dumps into one corner of the gutter. Added to existing gutters it runs about $7.50 to $16.50 a foot installed, and it needs a ground-fault protected outdoor outlet. Here is what heated gutters cost to install and run.
