Some homeowners would be astonished to learn that water is damaging their home. Rain that is constantly falling off a roof and settling around the foundation of a home can have an incredibly negative long-term effect. This is why it is important that homeowners have working gutters and downspouts installed on their homes and take care of gutter repairs and gutter replacements to existing ones if they are needed.
| Does your house need gutters? If you have never considered a rain gutter or downspout for your home then now is a good time to do so. Although gutters and downspouts are on the top of a house, they are actually quite critical to the bottom of the house – the foundation. This is because if the foundation of your home is constantly wet and soggy, it can become the perfect place for the growth of mold and mildew. Water can also lead to wet basements and crawlspaces, concrete damage, ground erosion and damage to the home’s foundation. Water can also wash away the soil which provides support for the structure leaving it without adequate support. |

| The Process
The process of channeling water around a home and then away from it is supported by a healthy rain gutter and downspout. In fact gutters and downspouts are critical for this process to happen. During periods of heavy rains, gutters hold the water and take it to the downspouts. The downspouts will then move it away from the structure. As important as it is to have a rain gutter and downspout installed in your home, it is also equally important that they be maintained. Gutters should always be kept unclogged. Homeowners must ensure that their gutters are not clogged by leaves, that they are not disconnected in any locations, and that they are not pulling away from the house. Gutters should be checked on a regular basis, so that any issues discovered can be corrected as fast as possible.
| Maintenance
Gutter and downspout maintenance and repair is therefore necessary to preserving many parts to your home.
