How Gutters Work and Why They’re Important
Gutters collect rainwater from your roof and channel it to the ground via a downspout. Water rolls down the roof’s slope to the gutters whenever it rains. The water then travels through the gutter system to the downspout that carries it to your house’s base. Gutters divert the water to protect the basement and foundation from flooding and further water damage.
Without a gutter system, rainwater collects on your roof, causing deterioration and rot. This weakens the shingles, fascia, and other components of your roof. Moisture in the windows causes condensation, damaging the window sills and interior walls and leading to mold and grime buildup.
When water pools against your home’s foundation, it causes erosion, weakens the structure and integrity of your roof, and causes basement flooding. Gutters prevent all of this.

The Importance of Professional Gutter Installation
Gutter installation may seem straightforward, but it’s a job best left to professionals. Since gutters constantly receive large amounts of water, they must be structurally sound to do their job right. While gutters look parallel to the roofline, they’re actually slightly inclined or pitched to allow rainwater to flow seamlessly to the downspout.
Gutter placement also matters. Installing gutters right on the roofline causes rainwater to back up and run behind the gutters, affecting other components of the roof. Only an experienced professional has the technical expertise to do the job right the first time.
