Does your home need gutters? The short answer is ✨YES✨Why?
🔴Foundation Problems - The expansion and contraction of the dirt that surrounds your home is the number one reason for slab failure. When the soil around your house becomes wet after rainy weather it’s saturated with moisture. When the soil dries, this causes the soil to pull away from the slab. Continuous changes in the soil throughout this cycle can cause the foundation’s support to be compromised; leading to shifts in the slab, cracked masonry and much more. A properly designed and installed gutter system keeps the soil surrounding your home at a consistent moisture level by directing roof runoff safely away from the house.
🔴Staining of Masonry & Siding - Rainwater that falls freely off a roof without gutters will hit the ground with enough force to cause a splash. Within this splash back against the house will typically be dirt, grass and other minerals that end up on the exterior of your home. Over time a stain can appear that can be difficult to remove or hide.
🔴Damage to Landscaping - Plants, flowers, mulch and soil located under the roof line without gutters can suffer from the water runoff. This water downpour can also result in an overwatering condition.
🔴Damage to Roof Structures - Poorly installed gutters or leaking gutters can lead to damaged fascia, soffit and many more structural problems overtime.
