Gutters

Protecting your investment

Gutters are the exterior drainage system of your home. It is important to keep up maintenance on your gutters to prevent them from leading to serious damage in the future.

If your gutters are not installed properly, damage to your home can occur, including: 

• Home and basement flooding
• Cracked/damaged foundation
• Infestations: Mosquitoes and other insects breed in standing water
• Mold: Overflowing gutters create an environment for mold to flourish in crawlspaces and basements
• Erosion: Topsoil protects the foundation of your home. If water is not correctly diverted away from your home the topsoil will erode and leave your foundation vulnerable.
• Staining to the exterior of your home fascia, soffit, wood framing and outside walls as well as decks, patios, driveways and walkways
• Paint damage
• Rotting/Rusting of exterior building products
• Damage to landscaping

Once installed correctly, be sure to clean them out at least twice a year!
