Rain gutters are also important for your house’s foundation: they drain water away from your house, to a place you have decided, where it can do no harm. Without gutters, rainwater can accumulate along the foundation of your house and weaken it.
The absence of a rain gutter system on your house can result into important damage for your roof. The excess of water accumulated after heavy rainfall will have a negative effect on your roof over the long term.
The solution is of course getting rid of excess water over your house. A proper rain gutter system ensures that water runs off your roof without damaging it.
There are great chances you will get stains on your side walls, resulting from water falling freely from your roof after rainfall. A proper gutter system will help you avoid this and drive excess water away from your walls.
Water falling without control from your roof also means there is always a risk of getting unexpected showers while getting out of your house, garage or patio. A smart placement of rain gutters will ensure you don’t get unexpected showers and will channel the unwanted water properly.
Another positive aspect of installing gutters to your house is that you can have a good degree of control to this excess water. You can decide whether you will use it by watering plants or wash your car, or simply get rid of it.
