Your home is subject to the weather and water is the most harmful when it penetrates your home’s exterior envelope. Where most homes are 1,000 square feet on a single floor, rain water that falls over this area is concentrated in a very narrow band or line at the bottom of each sloping roof. A 2400 square foot home with a ridge vent and 2 gable ends might would have 80 linear feet along the 2 sides of the house, where all rain water would concentrate and potentially cause damage. A hipped roof with 4 sides sloping down from the peak would be less vulnerable with 140 linear feet catching falling rainwater.

The primary role of gutters is to channel water away from the base of the house where it’s likely to collect and find it’s way inside the foundation. There are many ways that gutters protect your home, including:

• Water beating down along your roof line can pool and penetrate your foundation or slab, causing leaks in basements and crawlspaces.

The ground surrounding your home should slope away from the house to avoid water pooling around the foundation. Unfortunately with new construction, this ground often settles in the first few years are being refilled and home owners aren’t aware of the potential problem.

• Without gutters, water can damage landscaping and cause soil erosion around your home.
• Water hitting dirt close to the house can create a mess when the dirt splashes back against the siding.
• Concentrated water hitting decks and door entrances can splash back against the house causing high moisture levels which can lead to wood rot.
• Safety entering and leaving a home may be a problem when people run to avoid a downpour and/or water freezing on walkways.
• Falling water may hit windows and leak, causing water damage inside the walls or on interior walls.
• Rain water may find gaps in the siding, and when trapped behind siding, water can support mold growth and other problems.Even brick and stone siding can be damaged when water forms ice in cracks.
• Repeated exposure to rain water can reduce how long your home’s painted surfaces last before they need to be re-painted.
