With high chances of downpours, your gutters should be serving their purpose. However, are you sure that they are functioning as they should? An efficient gutter system should collect rainwater and direct it to its desired location, which is away from the house. Know that when rainwater is splashed into the ground across all directions, it can damage the foundation of your house. Likewise, your exterior, such as the wall and paint, may be stained due to splashes of water.
For your gutters to work, they need to be regularly cleaned. However, many homeowners tend to postpone doing this task leaving dirt and debris to accumulate. It can even happen that dirty gutters can invite animals and insects to settle in.
