It is springtime and that mean the potential for a lot of water around your home. Whether it be from melting snow from a late in the season snowfall or from a seasonal rainfall that is typical for spring, your home needs a reliable free flowing gutter system.
The purpose of gutters on your home is to protect your home from water damage. The method of installing gutters is designed to move water off of the roof and away from the foundation and basement of your home. By allowing the water to run off the roof, this protects the roof itself.
The problems that can surface from not having gutters at all or from not having a properly functioning gutter system are numerous and expensive.
-Roof damage
Water can run beneath the shingles on your roof can cause the shingles to loosen which allows the water to run underneath the shingles and cause damages to the structure of the roof or other issues like mold.
-Siding damage
Water can run down the sides of your home and get beneath the siding and cause mold or even for parts of the house under the siding to wear away.
-Foundation damage
If water runs against your home's foundation in heavy amounts for extended periods of time, cracks will begin to form in the foundation. Foundation damage can lead to a multitude of other complications such as termites, mold, flooding in the basement or pricey structural damages.
-Driveway, patio and sidewalk cracks
Water settling from improper gutter functions can cause areas around your home to have problems of their own. Driveways, sidewalks and patios will likely settle and this can cause them to develop unsightly cracks which poses a danger for trips and falls.
