A Look At Benefits Of Proper Gutter Installation

By Ernesto M. Bauers


Gutters, as a drainage control system, protect your home against damages from water, ice, debris and erosion. These troughs drive water and debris away from the foundation of a house. A properly installed and well maintained system can prevent your home from water damages during rains and snows. Foundation leaks, basement leaks, driveway/walkway damages, etc., can lead to costly repairs. Therefore, proper maintenance is extremely necessary after gutter installation.

Homemakers should maintain these troughs properly in order to avoid experiencing expensive water damages. They must thoroughly clean this system after every six months to remove straw, leaves and other debris. The debris should not be rinsed down the troughs to avoid clogging downspouts. It is good to remove them by hand and then rinse the gutter with garden hose.

Sometimes regular maintenance processes might not be able to restore the protective function of the troughs. In most cases, this is a result of structural defects of the system. The best option for you in these situations is to immediately replace the gutters.

Structural defects in the troughs could be majorly as a result of rotting or corrosion which affects the appearance of your house in a very negative way. This problem can extend to the softfit and fascia board of the roof of your house, which only means more repair costs for you. Note that it is not easy to spot damage on these boards and by the time you do the problem might be worse.

Structural defects can also make your gutters to leak which can lead to additional repairs. The foundation and basement of your home can be greatly damaged by water leaks. Saprophytic fungi can also destroy the interior and exterior parts of wall surfaces. Your furniture can be destroyed if you experience mold infestation in your home.
