Many people mistakenly believe a good roof is all that’s necessary to keep the water out. While the roof is of major importance in protecting your home from water intrusion, the roof is just one part of a system that’s intended to effectually handle water, getting it off your roof and away from your home’s foundation. That’s where gutters play an important part. Without gutters, water simply pours off the edge of the roof, eventually causing damage to your fascia and soffit. Breakdown in these components can spell trouble. And when water accumulates around your foundation, a leaky basement can result.
You may already have gutters on your home, but are they doing the job they were intended to do? If you have leaks or they don’t handle the water sufficiently, it may be time to replace them.
Whether you’re installing gutters for the first time or replacing your existing ones, you have choices to make as far as materials. Homeowner Ideas has an informative article describing the available gutter materials, their pros and cons, and the average cost.
If you have questions about whether your gutters are working properly or what rain handling system would work best for your home and budget, please give us a call.
