The proper installation of gutters can save a homeowner from several headaches caused by water damage. Below are the benefits of appropriately installed and maintained gutters:
- Flooding of basements and damage to foundations avoided
- Expensive landscaping kept in tact and not washed away
- Water damage to fascia boards, siding, and interior of house prevented
- Cement and concrete surfaces are less liking to settle and cause cracking
As mentioned above, these issues can be prevented with correct installation and maintenance (installation of gutter guards, regular gutter cleanings, and regularly checking for damaged gutters and downspouts)
