Gutters are easy to overlook, but they play a big role in protecting your roof, walls, and foundation. When they fail, water goes where it should not. Here is how good gutters protect your whole home.
What Gutters Do for Your Home
Gutters manage the water your roof sheds.
Directing Water Away
Gutters channel rain off the roof and away from your foundation, preventing the pooling that leads to leaks and erosion.
Protecting the Roofline
Working with the soffit and fascia, gutters keep water from backing up under shingles and rotting the roof edge.
Keeping Gutters Working
Clogged or damaged gutters undo all that protection. Regular cleaning and prompt repair — part of a good maintenance routine — keep them doing their job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are gutters important for my roof? They channel water off the roof and away from your foundation, preventing leaks, rot, and erosion.
What happens if gutters are clogged? Water backs up under shingles and overflows against the house, which can rot the roofline and damage the foundation.
How often should gutters be cleaned? At least twice a year, and more often if you have nearby trees. Regular cleaning prevents clogs and overflow.
