Why Gutters Are Just as Important as Your Roof

Garrett

1. Prevents Water Damage & Leaks

Gutters channel rainwater away from your roof and foundation. Without them, water can pool around your home, leading to leaks, basement flooding, and structural issues.

2. Protects Your Home’s Foundation

Excess moisture near your foundation can cause soil erosion and cracks, compromising the stability of your home. Gutters help prevent these costly problems by directing water safely away.

3. Prevents Roof Damage & Rot

Clogged or broken gutters can cause water to back up under your roof’s edge, leading to wood rot, mold, and costly repairs. Properly functioning gutters keep your roof in top shape.

4. Stops Landscaping Erosion

Heavy rain pouring off your roof without gutters can wash away landscaping, damage flower beds, and create unsightly soil erosion.

5. Helps Prevent Ice Dams in Winter

In colder climates, poorly maintained gutters contribute to ice dams, where melting snow refreezes at the roof’s edge. This can cause serious damage to shingles and lead to leaks inside your home.

6. Increases Home Value & Curb Appeal

Well-maintained gutters improve your home’s exterior look while also boosting its value. Buyers appreciate a properly protected home, and new gutters can be a selling point.
