Your roof might be
performing one of the most important functions in your home exterior,
but there is a fixture within it that, when absent, can negatively
impair its function: the gutters. A reliable gutter
system allows rainwater to flow smoothly away from your roof and
into the ground (it also keeps this very water from getting into your
house foundation and seep its way through your basement).
Also, if you don’t have
gutters, rainwater cascades down from your roof onto the ground
surrounding your house. When water floods and soaks into the soil, it
expands and “lifts” the house, causing a problem in your
foundation called heaving.
Reputable roofers offer
quality gutter solutions that will not only direct water away from
your home, but will also complement the overall design of your home
exterior. Inquire if they have a gutter protection system so you
don’t have to climb up to your roof and clean the debris yourself
every now and then. This add-on will help your gutters work at
optimum performance.
By installing gutters,
you protect your home exterior from water damage. Moreover, you
ensure that the landscaping retains its beauty. You may also ask your
trusted roofer how you can put the rainwater to good use through a
collection device from your downspout so you can water your plants on
dry days.
