As your first defense when it comes water gutters main purpose is to divert water away from your home. Gutters have one job: to divert water away from your home.
Your home’s gutters protect the foundation of your home, prevent erosion, protect your landscaping, and prevent basement flooding. They will prevent staining to the exterior of your home, mitigate paint damage, and stop mold and mildew growth
Gutter Guards
Gutters tend to get clogged from buildup of various types of debris; sticks, twigs, leaves and so on. Due to this homeowner’s should routinely clean their gutters to ensure they are clear of obstructions.
Gutter guards are important in the prevention of clogs and buildup. They allow water to flow through the gutters while keeping debris out. There are hundreds of types of gutter guards on the market but not every one works correctly. You must understand how each system works, the upsides and the downsides so you choose the best one for your home.
Down Spout & Storm Drains
Downspouts are an important part of your gutter system; they are what the rainwater travels down from the gutters into. Making sure that the water from the downspouts is directed away from your home and does not pool at the bottom of them is very important. If water starts to pool it can cause damage to your home’s foundation, cause soil erosion, damage the roots of plants, and cause water to pool in your home’s basement.
In order to prevent water from pooling around the exterior of your home there are several things that you can add to the bottom of your downspouts to help direct the water away from your home. One option is to place a rain barrel at the bottom of the downspouts. These barrels will collect the rainwater which your can later use to water your gardens and other landscaping.
Another solution is to place an angled ramp or splash block at the bottom of the downspouts, however this will only prevent water from pooling if your lawn naturally slops down from your home. If your lawn doesn’t slop from your home you may need more than just a splash block. In that case a long flexible hose should be attached to your downspout; this hose will move the water a greater distance from your home.
