Rain Gutter Facts

---

There are many benefits to a reliable home gutter system. Knowing these benefits may help you to understand why rain gutter installation is important and why you need to invest in periodic gutter cleaning services

Home rain gutters are used to direct water from the roof to the ground. Without them, water pools and seeps into the home, leading to structural damage. Rainwater may also flow down the sides of the house, leading to wood rot, siding deterioration, roof leaks and numerous other problems.

One of the most dangerous and difficult-to-fix problems that can occur in a home without gutter protection is mold, which forms when the water leaks into the walls. Mold remediation can be extremely expensive; you may need to replace all of the drywall in your home to fix a serious mold problem! In short, the gutter installation price, combined with the cost of occasional home gutter repairs and cleanings are dwarfed by the cost to repair the problems that occur in a structure that's without a well-functioning gutter system.

Home rain gutter systems also divert water away from concrete slabs, thereby preventing sinking and cracking. Gutters will also protect your paint and siding by preventing cracking, peeling and fading.
