Why are gutters important?

 

Three reasons why are gutters are important to your home.

 

1. Foundation Problems.....Slab failure on your home can occurr from the expansion and contracting of the soils around your home. The soils around your home can cause this from being saturated with moisture from periods of rainy weather. Then the soils expand once gets dry. After this cycle keeps repeating the soil under the foundation can be compromised and cause the foundation to crack.

 

2. Staining of bricks and siding....If your home doesn't have gutters the rain water falling from the roof hits the ground and causes splashback on the house. The splashback consists of dirt, grass, and minerals that end up on the exterior of your home. After periods of time splashbacks can cause stains that are consierably hard to clean or cover.

 

3. Damage to Landscaping.....Landscaping located under the drip line without gutters can suffer from the runoff from thunderstorms. Also without gutters over watering which can cause harmful fungus to develop, as well can attract ants, roaches, and termites. Gutters can prevent this and keep the soils of your home at a consistent moisture level by directing water away from your home.
