If you have old or damaged gutters that need to be replaced or a new home that needs new gutters, you should schedule a gutter installation right away to ensure the protection of your roof and home. Here are a few ways that a proper gutter installation can protect your home.
- Divert water away from the roof: When it rains, water can collect on the roof. Any standing water on the roof can create issues for your roof and potentially cause water damage in the attic. A proper gutter installation can help to effectively divert the water away from the roof and to the ground.
- Prevent water pooling around the foundation: A proper gutter installation will not only protect your roof and attic from water damage but also the foundation of your home. Properly installed gutters will direct water away from pooling around the foundation of your home and prevent any structural damage that standing water could have caused.
- Protect your siding: Rainwater that leaks from improperly installed gutters can leak onto and under your siding, causing the siding to buckle with water damage and can even allow water to seep into the walls of your home over time. A proper gutter installation can prevent this from happening and protect your siding and the walls of your home.
