Why are Gutters So Important?
Your roofing system offers protection from precipitation, however, that water is going to have to go somewhere after coming in contact with your roof. The main responsibility of gutters is to guide that water from your roof to an outlet away from your home.
Many do not understand the importance of gutters until it is too late, which is why our team at 4Ever Metal Roofing strives to educate our clients with this knowledge before they have to experience the consequences that can accompany this ignorant mistake. The following are just a few of the main reasons that gutters are vital in the protection of your entire home:
Protect Your Home's Roof
While the proper angle and installation of your roofing system will keep water from impeding through the roof, the edges and fascia boards of your home may be at risk of water damage without gutters. Gutters provide the edge of your roofing system with the protection it needs to last for many years to come, and fulfill its purpose of protecting your home.
Protect Your Home's Foundation
Without gutters, precipitation will run right off the edge of your roof and begin to collect near your home’s foundation. This not only puts your basement or crawl space at risk of flooding, but it can also cause major foundational issues such as cracking or shifting. However, gutters allow you to divert the water away from the home’s foundation.
Protect Your Home's Windows
While the proper angle and installation of your roofing system will keep water from impeding through the roof, the edges and fascia boards of your home may be at risk of water damage without gutters. Gutters provide the edge of your roofing system with the protection it needs to last for many years to come, and fulfill its purpose of protecting your home.
Protect Your Home's Siding
While your home’s siding is obviously designed to resist water from impeding into the exterior walls, large amounts of water that is constantly running down your siding will lead to faster deterioration of the siding. The installation of gutters will keep that excessive water off your siding, and assist it in protecting the exterior
Protect Your Home's Doors
Whether it be the main entrance of your home, a garage door, or a patio door, they all pose a risk of receiving damage from water running off the roof. If water makes its way into the door, it could cause swelling or rot — leading to a poor seal or deterioration of the door. Gutters will help to protect these events from happening to your doors.
Protect Your Home's Landscaping
Excessive amounts of water running off of your home’s roof will cause damage to the landscape surrounding your home — such as flower beds, gardens, sidewalks, patios, and more. With the help of gutters, that water will be guided off the roof and away from your home to protect the curb appeal and landscaping around your home.
Traditional Gutters
Traditional gutter designs are made up of pre-cut sections that are then joined together as they are installed on the house. While traditional gutters are a huge step up from no gutters, the seams pose a risk for leaks. If the seams are jagged, which is sometimes impossible to avoid, they will also create more issues when it comes to items clogging the gutter system. If leaves, branches, and more begin to build up in the gutters, it will stop the water from running properly through them. The often exposed edges of traditional gutters can lead to rusting and deterioration over time for certain types of gutters, such as those made of steel.
Seamless Gutters
The main feature of seamless gutters is found right in the name. These gutters are made of one large piece of material to avoid excessive seams. This limits the risk of leaks in your gutter system as well as damage done to exposed edges. They also require less maintenance as fewer leaves, branches, and other items will get stuck on the seams — clogging the system. Since they come in one large piece that is custom fit for your home, seamless gutters have a simpler installation process that is extremely efficient. Less pieces also means fewer repairs, which helps save you money in the long run when you choose seamless gutters.
