Gutters are used to direct water from your roof. Water left standing on your roof can lead to structural damage. Rainwater flowing off your roof and down the sides of your home can also lead to wood rot, a leaky roof, and numerous other problems. Without a correct guttering system, the rain will fall directly onto your walls and can eventually leak through into your home. This can cause mold to appear on your inside walls, which is unsightly and can also be bad for your health.

A rain gutter holds all the water that comes down off the roof and sends it to the nearest downspout to be released away from your house. This prevents water from rotting out your fascia boards or running down the side of the house, into walkways or onto decks and patios. Diverting water from concrete slabs will help to prevent them from sinking and cracking. Gutters will also protect your paint and keep it from fading.
