GUTTERS ARE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT TO YOUR ROOF AND YOUR HOUSE
With proper roof drainage, gutters transport water away from the exterior areas around your house to help stop conditions that support mold, wood fungi growth, decay, and attract insects. Water migration can result in costly damage to the fascia, siding, rafters and roof joints. Moving water away from the your house is also important to stop pooling and erosion, and is essential in keeping your foundation stable.
Your home needs gutters because uncontrolled water run-off from your roof can cause costly foundation repairs. Water from heavy rains can cause landscaping damage as well if the rain water is not properly directed. A properly designed gutter system protects your home from rain water that runs across windows, doors, and the sides of your home. Gutters can also help to protect your siding and fascia from rain water that stains the surface and causes wood rot.
