GUTTERS
Ask any foundation specialist or engineer if they recommend installing rain gutters around a home and 9 out of 10 will tell you yes. You may have had gutters before and thought they were a pain to maintain, but a well-functioning gutter system can save you thousands of dollars by helping you avoid foundation repairs, drainage problems, siding damage, roof leaks, and more.
HELPFUL INFO AND ADVICE ABOUT YOUR GUTTERS
If you are like most homeowners, you probably never think about your gutters. We understand; you lead a hectic, busy, and demanding life, and you have more pressing things to attend to than your rainwater gutters.
Unlike grass that continually requires cutting and other facets of your home that necessitate regular maintenance, your gutters are way up there with your roof, always out of sight and easily out of mind.
Of all the household chores you have to perform, nothing is more dirty, difficult, and dangerous than climbing up a ladder and clinging to your roof to clean and repair your gutters. It is far easier too just postpone and procrastinate this arduous and annoying undertaking.
Unless water is dripping directly below your front door, or there is some other highly inconvenient or noticeable problem, you are likely to ignore clogs, leaks, and damage to your gutters.
This is a mistake…
You might be surprised to learn that something as simplistic as a leaky gutter or clogged downspout can cause serious damage to your home in the long run, which includes:
leaks in your roof and walls; flooding; damaged and stained siding; soil erosion; sags, bulges, cracks or chips forming in your driveways and walkways; paint peeling or discoloration; rotting, warping, or bulging of any wood component; formation of mold inside your home; and severe damage to your home’s foundation.
