The collection of rainwater by gutters
at the eave of a roof prevents it from falling to the ground,
where it can splash back
onto the building and cause discoloration and decay at the
exterior of the house, or where it can seep into the ground,
causing settling
or undermining of the foundation. A free-flowing gutter system
keeps rain from running off your roof and too close to your
house. Water must flow away from your house to protect your
main foundation
and to keep stains off your siding. A free-flowing gutter
also keeps your walkways ice free in the winter. Gutters also
protect
people passing under the eaves from a cascade of rainwater.
Gutters are a major part of your home’s weatherproof system. However,
many people do not realize the importance of gutters and pay
little attention to them. Don’t make the same mistake.
