Why You Should Upgrade Your Gutters

Why should you upgrade your gutters? There are several reasons.

More and more homeowners are recognizing the importance of gutters as a way to protect their roofing system. Upgrading your gutters can greatly contribute to your home’s overall condition. Having dysfunctional gutters means you’re signing up for some costly repairs. 

Gutters are critical in protecting your home from different types of water damage. It’ll help divert the water away from your house. Still not convinced? Here are seven reasons why you should upgrade your gutters.

Gutters Can Stop Interior Flooding

Water can not be diverted away from your home without properly functioning rain gutters. This can cause flooding of basements and lead to expensive repairs. Upgrading your gutters means you can feel safe no matter how heavy the rain is.

Gutters Help Maintain the Landscape

When talking about your house’s landscaping,  having no gutters, poor gutters, and clogged gutters can be bad news. Strong downpours and wind at high speeds off your roof and can destroy your landscaping.

This not-so-gentle runoff can damage your trees, flowers, and shrubs. It’ll also cause your soil to erode and prevent your other plants from growing. Landscaping may not be a big deal for some homeowners, but the curb appeal of your house still matters if in the long run you want to sell in the future.

Avoid Bowing and Cracking in Driveways

Gutters that function poorly can cause large puddles of water from the surface and cause the concrete to crack. 

Newly upgraded gutters can channel water away from your house and won’t cause your concrete to bow or crack.   Gutters that refuse to do their job are another matter. As always, the cause is moisture. At first glance, concrete might seem impenetrable, but moisture can make it’s foundation weak.

Gutters Can Help Make Your Home Dry

Gutters that work properly prevent water from rushing off the roof and over the entrances to your home and porch. This protects you from getting soaked during a rainstorm.

Having functional gutters can save you or anyone all the trouble of getting wet once they enter your home. It’ll also prevent your front porch from flooding.

Gutters Can Make Your Exterior Look Clean

Gutters retain the clean look of your house. .Downspouts guide water to the right areas and eliminates any splashing and runoff. All of which stops the siding from getting dirty and muddy.  Additionally, functioning gutters can help protect your home’s exterior paint.

A weak gutter system can cause the paint to bubble up and peel, with just the slightest exposure.  Gutters can prevent you from having to remove the paint and it’ll keep the exterior of your house looking brand new.

Protect the Fascia From Rotting

The fascia boards barricade the house from rainwater and rodents that are determined to find away inside your home.  Clogged gutters or improperly constructed gutters do not take long to disintegrate the fascia board through moisture. After that, once your home is exposed to the same moisture damage, it’s only a matter of time you start spending on expensive repairs.

Proper Gutter Installation Offers Protection From Pests

In most areas, mosquitoes are prevalent during the summer season. Stagnant water in rain gutters serves as an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Once these pests start to breed, it can cause a lot of damage because not only are they uncomfortable but they’re also dangerous. For example, mosquitoes carry with them diseases that can cause great harm. 

Upgrading your rain gutters means that you’re protecting yourself from any danger that these pests bring.
