Importance of Gutters

It cannot be expressed how important it is that you have a gutter system on your home. If you don’t have one, you’re looking at many problems:

  • A gutter system that is not in good shape can cause water to run underneath the shingles on the roof. This can cause roof damage to occur.
  • The water can get underneath siding if the home is sided. This also means that erosion can occur in some places. For example, a brick home may encounter erosion and there is the fact that a “rusting” effect can occur.
  • The foundation can become damaged. When the foundation has large amounts of water running against it for long periods, cracks start to form.
  • Without gutters in place, you literally have a moat around your house. This is not good news for you if you have a basement. The basement can easily flood if there are any cracks in your foundation.
