Gutters have multiple proposes: to shed water from your roof, to protect your landscaping from damage, and to prevent mold, mildew and other water damage by directing rainwater away from your siding and foundation.
Like other exterior components, they will eventually need to be replaced. When that time comes, you will want to invest in the best rain gutter system.
If you do not replace old, deteriorating gutters and downspouts you can be susceptible to structal damage, erosion, and water damage.
Structural Damage
Clogged gutters cause water to flow out into your home's exterior, damaging doors and windows and other wooden components. If moisture reaches the foundation cracks can develop. If this happens, the structural integrity of your house will be compromised.
Erosion
Landscape erosion is another issue caused by old, inefficient gutters. soil displacement and damage to plants and lawns can occur when water overflows from gutters and seeps out of seams. This can lead to unattractive and uneven landscaping, which may require additional time and money to restore.
Water Damage
The board that covers the edge of an overhang is the fascia board. Facsica boards hold gutters in place. When gutters are filled with debris, water can leach into the fascia instead of falling to the ground causing the boards rot. Once this happens, the gutters will start to pull away from your home or completely collapse.
